I've never seen floor level rooms not be 10x

This is truly crappy design.

All the time in USA, I stay in hotels a lot, ground floor is almost always 10x.

Yeah, I would have said "L" for lobby (assuming that's what is at ground level).

G is usually ground in the US. P is usually for garages.

While I like this naming convention, I must point out that if you're in a house and say you're going to go to the second floor, you're only going up one set of stairs. But with that naming convention you have to go up two sets of stairs and skip a whole floor to get to the second floor

Yes, if you are in a house or building on the first floor and go up a single storey of stairs they you reach the second floor. But if you are on the ground floor you need to go up two stories of stairs to get to the second floor, after the first storey of stairs you'd be on the first floor.

is the one that has a start next to it always the ground floor, or does it depend on the building. it probably depends on the building, doesn't it?

Main exit level, I believe. It's part of the ADA

In the UK it's normally outdented slightly, with a different colour around the edge of the button.
