How do they number their floors? I stayed at a hotel in Vancouver, BC a couple years ago and I don't remember it being different. How do they do it?

I'm not certain about Canada, but in Mexico I've seen buildings with the main floor label "Ground" floor, the next one up would be the "1st" floor. So, a three story building would have floors named ground, 1st, and 2nd. Perhaps Canada has something similar.
That's the system we use here in Australia. We also call elevators "lifts" (although the two are interchangable)
