Room 112 is on ground level at every hotel I can remember, including on a trip last month. Well, it would have been on the ground level but that floor is all lobby and conference rooms so the lowest toom number was 201 and was on the second floor.
Previous buildings with rooms on the ground level were the 100s.
The building i am in right now has the elevator list the ground floor as G and the next floor up as 1. I can see that there is really no consistency. In buildings that have the ground floor as 1β¦. Are their basements listed as 0? It canβt be G for sure. Or do they skip right to -1?
Are you in the US, and what kind of building is it?
I don't ever remember seeing a separate ground and 1st floor in a building, although I haven't been in every building.
I've seen it once, the building was built on a hill, so both ground and 1st had street level entrances on opposite sides.
You just triggered a flashback about a weird parking garage that had Ground between P1 and P2 so that it would line up with the hotel's Ground floor!
It went:
Now that you mention the slopes, I do have a fuzzy recollection of a building on a slope having a separate Ground floor from the numbered floors for street level access. 1st floor was the main lobby.
I can't think of one on flat ground ever having separate Ground and 1st floors though.
