There are apparently two different floors numbered 4 -- on different levels -- and no floor 3. And why do the restrooms need their own floor?

I once stayed in a hotel with an infinite number of rooms, but that's another story ...
Ironically, in China (some?) hotels don't even have a fourth floor. Apparently, the word for four sounds like the word for death.
Perhaps 4A and 4B are not different floors, but use either the front or back doors of the elevator?
No, they were really different floors.
Why are there apparently two sets of "open doors" and "close doors" buttons? And given the recent news about the "close doors" button not actually doing anything in most elevators, why have any at all?
I'm in Providence quite often. May I ask which hotel that was?

Is the restroom button the red one under the LL button. If that's the case it would seem to be useful.
So the third floor is actually the one called 4A? And does the restroom button actually go to a floor filled with restrooms? On what floor was this located? In between 4A and 4B?
Perhaps R is the rear door, and the fact that it leads to the restrooms is just a coincidence?
Post Modernist architecture? Wonder what order the floors are in if you use the stairs. Does the S at the top stands for Sky?
I mean 7 1/2 I can understand but 4A and 4B?
Was the restaurant on the same floor as the restrooms? Cycle of life, etc.
Wondering if perhaps there was some city ordinance that said any building 5 floors and up must have... or must pay extra... or something like that. So the builders decided -- wishfully thinking -- to skirt that ordinance.
