Description
Room 237 was one of the standard guest rooms located on the second floor of the Overlook Hotel in Colorado. One of the most notable features in the room was the bathroom, which had lime green walls as well as green-colored sinks and toilet.

Lorraine Massey was a guest at the Overlook Hotel who stayed in Room 237 in the 1970s. She was known for seducing young men, usually bellhops, into her room and having sex with them. She eventually committed suicide in the bathtub of her room by slitting her wrists.

Danny Torrance saw the ghost of an aged and rotting Lorraine Massey creeping after him in Room 237.

Danny's father, Jack Torrance, later saw a younger, more attractive version of Massey in the same room and was seduced by her.
