Tall Otis Traction Elevators at Embassy Suites, Philadelphia, PA Center City

[@aceee06]

I stayed there last summer, it's nice that you went all the way down since I was worried that I would get busted going to the garage levels due to there being no down button on the lobby level.

[@exoticcar5482]

Well i myself was rather surprised to see that the lower parking levels looked like some laundry or other service room and i'm glad i didn't get busted or anything. However, i wouldn't consider myself breaking and entering even if i did get busted as the lower floors weren't locked. If they were locked, however, that would obviously be a different story

They have since upgraded and now have touch screens in the lobby. You type in your room/floor number and it takes you there. No more buttons inside the actual car. Confusing when drunk and not used to it but still fun for us geeks.

Destination Dispatch. No objection to the system but still not a fan they threw out perfectly reliable elevator parts

[@michaelkenney2845]

@@exoticcar5482 nah. Somebody somewhere got them parts and are being used elsewhere. But I hear ya.

[@exoticcar5482]

@@michaelkenney2845 Are there really enough elevator enthusiasts for that?

[@michaelkenney2845]

@@exoticcar5482 no but there are enough landlirs and businesses and building engineers etc. That will buy cheaper used parts. Even if it is just a button or even the door clutch. I doubt very much it all just went into a dumpster and got melted down.
