Outside looked normal. When checked into the room it was clear someone had recently slept in the bed and the bed was not remade or recleaned. When we came back to the desk to get a different room the attendant was rude and very short as though we were an annoyance. We travel quite a bit and have previously stayed with this hotel chain. Specifically, this night we paid $370 for the night. We do not anticipate this for this level of stay- very disappointed in the room but sometimes that happens, we were more disappointed in the attendant. This room experience should have been exemplary costing $370, not resembling a $37 Motel 6.
