Modernized Otis Traction Elevators - Holiday Inn Winnipeg Airport West, Winnipeg, MB

Taken June 15, 2019
I am very disappointed with Holiday Inn. As you probably know, these used to have Lexan fixtures. This has ruined my childhood as I used to ride these a lot when when I was a kid. The new buttons also don't match these elevators. These were BUILT to be Otis Lexans and ONLY Otis Lexans. MAD did do a good job of making it look ok in these elevators. As could clearly tell, these were very fun to ride when I stayed here last year. Although they do still run the same, it doesn't feel complete with new fixtures. The new door operators don't open as fast, which makes it much harder to see the classic levelling. All Holiday Inn did was waist money. I don't know exactly when this happened sometime between March to June. Overall this mod has made me very sad as i loved these elevators. Hopefully this does NOT happen to Holiday Inn Winnipeg south, which has very similar elevators. If those get modded I will show you. Also the Holiday Inn & Suites, downtown Winnipeg has beautiful older Exel elevators that I also really hope don't get modernized.
