Room number, really, is just a local code.

Heck - you can't even assume that "1xxx" is ground floor (US version) or 
first floor (UK version: the Edinburgh City Chambers (primary offices 
for the local council) number from the lowest floor with an outside 
window... which means that floor 1 looks out over Cockburn Street, and 
the main entrance (off the Royal Mile, or High Street) is on level 5!
