Entering the lobby, I requested a room. The clerk handed me my key and I took the elevator to my floor. To my surprise there was a sign on the door of my room telling me I should try a different room instead.
I headed to my new room on the floor above. But I simply couldn't find the door. I looked to the room next to where it should be, but a burly looking security guard said I wasn't allowed in there.
So I took the elevator a floor higher where the restaurant was located. No sooner had I arrived when one of the waitstaff clumsily spilled a drink over me!
I stormed back to the lobby and made my concerns known. The response from the front desk clerk was that there was only really one room in this hotel which was OK.
Which room number should I try?

Try the toilet one floor below the room you first tried.
You first went to the third floor (possible 307) where you were redirected to the fourth floor, there you got to 404 which was not found, but next to is 403 which is forbidden.
You really want to go to room number
200
which is OK.
This makes sense because
All the rooms correspond to HTTP response codes.
