HELP I'M STUCK IN THE FUCKING HOTEL

As you can see from the title, I am stuck in the Infinite Hotel. I tried searching online for other methods on getting out besides lucking out on a teleport crystal in one of the rooms, found a community post asking how to get out and Leif himself commented on it saying to "Head as far south as south goes, and then go in the direction you began." but I'm a little confused as to what he means by this? I've headed south as much as I could and going back, left, or right just leads me to more hallways or a loot area.
