Here’s why room number 420 is missing from some hotels

News to us!

Many hotels leave out 420 when assigning room numbers with a very specific reason why.

April 20th, aka 420, is a celebration of sorts for cannabis users who get together at 4:20 pm to smoke pot.

Or so the story goes anyway.

According to The Mirror, 420 can be a nightmare for some hotels because people use it as a place to party.

In some cases, guests have taken the number as a keepsake which isn’t exactly desirable for those in charge of the hotel.

There have been photos posted to image-sharing sites, including Imgur, and it seems to be quite the phenomenon.
