The paradox is saying that for every number N there is an occupied room in the infinite hotel. But that there is still vacancy. The paradox

wikipedia - Hilbert's paradox of the Grand Hotel Hilbert imagines a hypothetical hotel with rooms numbered 1, 2, 3, and so on with no upper limit. This is called a countably infinite number of rooms. Initially every room is occupied, and yet new visitors arrive, each expecting their own room. A normal, finite hotel could not accommodate new guests once every room is full. However, it can be shown that the existing guests and newcomers – even an infinite number of them – can each have their own room in the infinite hotel.

As for the one i wrote what do you think?
