Initially, one of the front desk attendants tried to pretend he couldn't see me or didn't know I wanted something. He let me stand in front of him while he ignored me without any acknowledgment whatsoever. When a second attendant returned from helping other guest with bags, he helped me and was wonderful: friendly, helpful, efficient, and more.
