I went there for the National orchestra festival. I left March 18 and came back yesterday!! It was awesome!! I was on the 3rd floor though. I went all the way up to the top floor and my ears popped on the way down!! It was epic!!

[@wandacapstick5476]

All the Rooms on the 3rd Floor start with 300.

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

And the first floor rooms.

Maybe before the talking voices are not working because they are silent on Elevator no 12. Before they used to talk now they got a Gen2 voice replacement. Now they are replacing the alarm bell button. Now the Internal elevator voices are working now and also the glass elevator no 13.

[@wandacapstick5476]

Why did you say, You should be using the service elevator at 2:14?

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

I should not use the glass elevator due to acrophobia!

[@airlobo]

I did this three times on the last day. Scares the crap out of me every time!

[@PaulCashman]

This is the best free ride in Atlanta. :) We noticed back in 1986 for WorldCon that the Marriott's elevators 'weigh themselves' and if they're near capacity, they will simply ignore a pending call from a floor button. This proved to be kinda maddening when allll of the elevators were full and never stopping to let you on! (Our solution was to take the stairs up or down to the ending floor of the next elevator 'zone'.)

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

This was a part of the marketing.

[@PaulCashman]

@@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214 Umm, so the elevators were "marketed" as being impossible to board if they were at max capacity?

[@DBOs_stuff]

hmm, when you filmed this, was it early Thursday or mid to late Monday?(mabbe Tuesday)

[@hotelexploring]

This is one of my favorite videos that shows you walking into the atrium level of the Marriott Marquis.I'm thinking about going to Atlanta for my birthday and staying here.It also has some new walkways that go to some of the other hotels.

[@wandacapstick5476]

Did you stay here for your birthday?

[@hotelexploring]

@@wandacapstick5476 Yes!

[@johnoconnor4019]

I am staying in this hotel right now! (in March 2022) I will also stay in the Westin of Atlanta.

[@FranceHopper]

That a lot of coffee they brought into that elevator. Hope you're enjoying Dragon*Con.

[@wandacapstick5476]

She should be using the service elevator.

[@moose9784]

I want to stay here one day! Unfortunately I live way up in Vermont.

[@StormC9101]

Can't blame the guy @ 2:13, those glass elevators are FUN! I would've done that too

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

Me too.

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

The service elevators can be briefly seen at 3:20!

[@dea41396returns]

are the escalators in the hotel Otis as well?

[@ZRHTrainspotter]

dea41396returns yes they are

[@jasono346]

There is a secret about the new York 1 is that some of the Schindler elevators have a secret 49th office only accessible by tue fire control panel in certain cars

[@PinePowerLI]

I like these better than NY. The curvature is amazing and the elevators are Otis which is better than Schindler.

[@Baytrail]

Do the service elevators have buttons for every floor?

[@ZRHTrainspotter]

ROC Elevators yes

[@johnoconnor4019]

Actually, the service elevators have high-rise and low-rise elevator banks too. The low-rise banks serve floors 1-25 and the high-rise goes 25-47. The 25th floor allows employees to transfer from the low-rise elevators to the high-rise elevators & vice versa, if they were to carry service from one floor to another not served by the bank serving the floor the employees start from.

[@roycehammond4061]

High Rise elevators is a fun for me

[@alpaljl]

Why do these elevators serve level 10?

[@credibletaxaccounting9163]

Because it’s the Skyway level To like see out every elevator has it

[@benjamintu3214]

5:52 someone ringing the alarm bell in the elevator

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

As you can hear closely.

[@deusfromotf3119]

That carpet at 5:48 !

[@johnoconnor4019]

1:10 Possible forshadowing of the modernization.

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

But they remained original during the refurbishment.

[@lumix14]

Somebody rang the bell at 5:53.

[@Trinitybloodlust]

yeah, but I gott on it anyway :D
