More communication at the front desk! When I arrived the day before my check-in, I asked the young woman who helped me if I could leave my suitcase at the office the next day because I had an early meeting to attend. She kindly said yes. But when I went down the next day for my check-out, the other young woman told me I couldn't leave my suitcase there. She said the young woman from the night before didn't know anything about it, that she was new, and therefore couldn't leave it there
