The measurements were on an exterior elevation, and for the most part divided into equal, adjacent with no gaps sections of 8'-8". 8' is likely the interior ceiling height, with the other 8" accounting for the floor thickness. Ceiling heights are usually whole numbers, such as 8'. The ceiling height of the lobby then is 14', with another 8" floor plate separating it from the first level of hotel rooms. I generally wouldn't expect a standard hotel room to have a ceiling higher than 8'.
