42 being the highest you can go isn't bad!

[@DieselDucy]

TOTALLY agree! At least that can still be enjoyed

[@DominatorSlayer17]

And you can still enjoy the view of going up.

[@robertsmithshobbyproductions]

Bruh, there's a well known convention that takes place here, and this new system is really gonna jack up the wait times for the elevator

[@LiamWalsheliamskitchen]

@@robertsmithshobbyproductions I stayed there a week ago and in one of the 18 to 30 elevators the key card reader decided to break. That caused a huge issue that evening, but it was fixed by the next morning. I was staying on 30 (I could have had something higher up but they offered me a suite on 30) and because I had access to the lounge on 42, I had to go down to 10 to catch the elevator up to 42, at least in theory. Because of the issue with the one elevator, I was told by one of the lounge attendants to use the service elevator. None of the staff cared.

[@DieselDucy]

I think they turn it off during those

[@mariokart8715]

I’ve officially lost interest in this place and this city now because of this; and the other buildings throughout this city. After 31 years of you first visiting there. Almost a decade since they modded those elevators.

[@Jamestube8439]

It’s not like you can’t ride them at all. Don’t let one experience take away the thrill from riding up to 42 at the very least. And who knows, if you catch the elevators at the right time during check in periods, you may be able to catch a ride with someone who has a keycard

[@DieselDucy]

It is still neat

[@rev7830]

furry weekend atlanta takes place in this hotel every year, during the event the elevators are packed and operating at their max capacity so to save time during the event the readers are turned off, this last event 18-30 only had 2 of the 4 elevators operational and it was causing enough problems that we started using the staff elevators during peak hours. with how big the event has gotten the past few years we've had to hire on site tech's to maintain the elevators for the durations of the con. if you want to stress test something just throw 15,300 furries at it and see what happens

[@DieselDucy]

I think they are open then.

I know right!

[@MilwaukeeCountyElevators]

I’ll always remember the fun I had on these last year. It honestly sucks that they’re officially key-carded. But hey, at least 42 is not bad for a ride on the high rise elevators.

[@DieselDucy]

Yeah 42 is not bad

[@NWIndianaElevators]

Not that surprised since downtown Atlanta is not as safe as it used to be...

[@DieselDucy]

Yeah but 42 is still an amazing ride.

[@BuildingToursForLife1660-4]

Amazing and Epic elevators!

[@camdenwells8031]

I guess these elevators have been filmed so much that the staff decided to key card them off.

[@michaelnash4908]

I knew that this was going to happen at some point. But what we don't know for sure is if you have a hotel key card will it let you go to every floor or is it the one of those key cards that only let you go to the floor your room is on. That's something someone can try by staying there. Maybe it even isn't worth it anymore if you cant go to every floor as a hotel guest. I guess at least you can still go to the other floors even if you dont stay there.

[@LiamWalsheliamskitchen]

@@michaelnash4908 I stayed there a week ago and it is the one that only lets you go to your floor. However you can go to 42. That is always unlocked

[@747sooner]

⁠I wouldn’t smart key the elevators because we need to allow time for other guests to quickly press their floor once the key is scanned in case the elevators get crowded.

[@ElevatingEasternMichigan]

@@747sooner yeah that makes sense, also since it’s a high rise building, what if people wanted to go up to the top and get a view.

[@elevatorgaming6712]

Yes

[@TechNerdNolan]

Did you try asking the front desk for a keycard to 47?

[@DieselDucy]

Naah. Just was going in here to report on the status of these.

[@TSNY18-Animations]

No. Don’t do that. It’s not gonna work, especially if they’re smart keyed! If the new rule that Marriott will smart key their elevators, then there’s a big chance the New York Marriott Marquis will do that at anytime! JW Marriott Miami elevators are definitely smart keyed!
