<P> The room number 217 has been changed to 237 . Timberline Lodge , located on Mt . Hood in Oregon , was used for the exterior shots of the fictional Overlook Hotel . The Lodge requested that Kubrick not depict Room 217 ( featured in the book ) in The Shining , because future guests at the Lodge might be afraid to stay there , and a nonexistent room , 237 , was substituted in the film . Contrary to the hotel 's expectations , Room 217 is requested more often than any other room at Timberline . </P>
