Room and stay was quite comfortable but the staff are inexperienced and not helpful. I forgot my car key at the front desk while checking in. The next morning when I enquired about it they denied having found the key and didn't even bother to check the front desk area or the lost and found. Later in the day I went back to the hotel travelling hours taking time from my vacation to check and they handed me the key and apologized and said someone found it last night. The morning staff could have saved hours of my time .
