Where is Room 800?

I had a business dinner in Chicago Thursday night followed by a meeting Friday morning so I had to stay in a hotel rather than drive back and forth twice.

I checked into the hotel and took the elevator up to the 8th floor and made two complete rounds of the floor without finding my room. I had to call down to the front desk for directions. They sent up a security guard to escort me to my room.

Turns out room 800 was hiding in a corner, between rooms 839 and 826. My guess is they turned a former conference or utility room into a regular hotel room and didn't want to go to the expense of changing out all of the room number plates on the floor.
