Room 420 and other numbers

Interesting reading off SMH today:

April 20, National Weed Day: Why hotels avoid Room 420

Avoiding floor 13 is not uncommon.

Are there other numbers around the globe that are avoided by travellers and locals?

I'm not comfortable with the number 666.

Cricketers don't like 87. English cricketers don't like 111.

****ing lol.

420 isn't really that big of a thing in Australia. Anyway most 420 fanatics probably wouldn't be staying at the Hyatt or Hilton or Intercontinental anyway..

I must admit that when ever I get a room on floor 13, or room 13 on any floor I think "oh, oh no. I'm going to die" But then it never crosses my mind again....

More important is to avoid the room near the lift, the cleaners room, on the floor with the pool/lounge/restaurant or the end of the hotel near the construction site...
