The 21th Floor

did you check to see what the signs on the other floors said? 11th, 12th, ...19th, 20th, 21th, 22th, 23th, 24th, ... nth floor. maybe they just ordered the letters "t" and "h" in bulk 'cuz it was cheaper than buying individually. nice sign, though. i assume this was not a backpacker hotel?

As I recall, the 21st floor was the only one with TH. The first floor was 1st, etc.
