Night front desk staff was grumpy, day and afternoon front desk staff was nice. Left my Kindle in my room at checkout and it disappeared. When we got home after checkout I realized and night staff were very unfriendly and unhelpful. Told me to call back in the am so I did and he was more helpful. Even let a friends check the room for me but it had already been cleaned and wasn't there.
