Swedish translation:trevliga
Explanation:
Vad översättningen menar är att, personalen inte är varma och trevliga utan bara mest vill få saker och ting gjorda (eller överstökade).
Jag tror ordet "trevliga" passar bäst i sammanhanget, eftersom man redan använt ordet "varma".

Man menar inte att personalen är flummiga (påtända)...

Explanation:

Jag tror det borde stå: "The staff is definitely not a warm [BUT] a fuzzy experience but for the most part get the job done." Men det är en gissning.

Alltså: "Personalen är definitivt inte varm (trevlig), utan flummig/otydlig ..."
Det skulle passa i sammanhanget; personalen är inte särskilt varm, utan upplevs av gästerna som flummiga eller otydliga.

Norstedts professionella engelsk-svenska ger bara "luddig", "otydlig", "flummig" och liknande för "fuzzy".

'warm and fuzzy'
gemytlig; mysig


Explanation:
There must be a typo in the source text - it really only makes sense if it reads "warm and fuzzy" which is an expression describing a sense of warmth and comfort.
"Varm och go" is another possible translation.
