Room 217 features in the novel, but not in the film. It was changed to room 237 in the 1980 film version because the hotel management where the film was being shot were worried no-one would stay in room 217 after the films release, thus costing them money. Therefore, a ficticious room 237 was created.

In the film & book the hotel is called The Overlook
