Watch out for room 46!

Watch out for room 46!
In Stephen King's novel "The Shining" (and Stanley Kubrick's film of the same name) the Torrance family will spend the winter at the Overlook Hotel, with the warning not to enter room 237.
At the Sint Nicolaas hotel in Amsterdam there is a room, room 46, with which you also have to be careful.
It has an "L" -shaped corridor, and the rest of the room is practically occupied by the bed, so the occupants (they consider it a double room) must agree not to move at the same time, avoiding bumps and bumps. . It is best not to get out of bed while in the room. As the room is under a roof, part of it has a sloping ceiling, which makes mobility even more hampered.
In addition, the window frame and the window itself are made of wood and it does not fit well, so it is possible to hear, unless you sleep like a log, the sound of the night traffic in Amsterdam, quite abundant on that street.
In conclusion, given the choice, I prefer room 237 at the Overlook hotel.
