Not my favorite hotel stay.

We checked in late as we got stuck in horrible traffic. So our road trip was extended an extra 3 hours so we were exhausted. We get to our first room and it was used. TV was on sheets were pulled back and pillow had an indent like someone was sleeping, the bathroom had used towels laying around and the soap was open. In the moment and being exhausted we went down stairstairs to sort this out not realizing until the next day I left my boots in the first room when I placed them down. We check the desk. No one has stayed in that room since but boots were not there. We check with desk that night and they said room service would have them and they have left. So next morning when checking out we ask the desk.

“Are you stupid?”

I was patronized and treated as if there is no difference between a room on an higher floor, and a “better” room. They kept asking me which would I rather have because I couldn’t have both. The rooms were the same except one was on a higher floor.
