The guest of the hotel went down 3 floors in the elevator. However, the question does not provide any information about whether the room attendant was on the same floor as the guest or on another floor.

If we assume that the room attendant was on the same floor as the guest when they started and then went down 3 floors, then the room attendant would also have gone down 3 floors.

If the intention of the question is to suggest that the room attendant stayed on their original floor while the guest went down, then the attendant would not have gone down any floors.

Thus, without additional information, the answer could be that the room attendant went down 0 floors or 3 floors depending on their initial location.
