[@JimLiElevators]

When I tried filming an elevator that was being processly modernized, I slightly got busted from the security members there. You filmed during a less busy day. When I filmed, it was busy so it was less convenient for me to film.

[@ericsturniolo]

***** It was almost the end of the day when I went! lol! I just had some free time and this was the only opportunity I had to still see these elevators in their original form!

[@nanasajaia8919]

@JimLiElevators ems318 did it for you since you got busted by the security member

[@elevcarwashsirensandmore21]

@JimLiElevators do you have a video of that.

[@clcheatw]

Surprised they didn't install destination dispatch.

[@JOOT49]

With so few elevators, destination dispatch isn’t really necessary

[@elevcarwashsirensandmore21]

​​​@@JOOT49He is right. There's only 4 elevators on each bank and 3 on 42-47. It's not that necessary. It would be hard with the way this atrium is set up. They don't need destination dispatch

[@Fantech0104]

At least the elevators will still be glass.

[@kyleholbrook1288]

Fantech0104 yep

[@qeelevators2960]

Yeah and it would be a waste if not

[@nanasajaia8919]

right fantech one of the elevators are internal on each one the 1-17 elevators,the 18-30 ones,the 31-41 ones,and the 42-47

[@elevatorkid4814]

you are right Fantech0104

[@elevatorsautomaticdoors2708]

1-17 and 18-30 don’t have an Internal Elevator

[@bostonelevatorsaviation]

What he means is from 1985-2015 is how long is was open untIl they were modded

[@JOOT49]

I like how the newly modded elevators ring WELL before they arrive, meaning you can actually have reaction time, so your not rushing to get to the elevator

[@EASsirenVids01]

Same. Was at the hotel a few hours ago and was like “wow they chime early!”

[@elevcarwashsirensandmore21]

​@@EASsirenVids01I thought you didn't ride them when they were Series 1

[@patricknedz]

I remember watching the original videos of these by MusicFreakcc, ever since then I have wanted to go here. Connor will always be the original Atlanta filmer to me. I never been here when it was original but they are not much different with the mod.

[@elevcarwashsirensandmore21]

They now have hard floor! They took out the carpet after the mod too. The hotel feels nicer with the mod but I still wish I could have seen them before they were modernized

[@msj191961]

You should definitely try getting some parts! It'd be awesome if you could obtain one of the Series 1 car panels.

[@OntariosElevatorssince2013]

msj191961 I have an older Otis Series 1 COP.

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

Dieselducy has some parts of the original elevator!

[@ElevatingDenver]

It's a Series 7 mod, not too bad actually. But I really don't see why they need to mod these, they're ADA-Compliant and run just fine. And I noticed some of these have classic leveling, I hope that doesn't go away with the mod

[@FloridianElevators]

I got to ride these when they were series 1 now they are being modded. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[@FloridianElevators]

technicalboy 3000 I don't think it is OTIS fault it's probably the hotel's fault. The elevators ran just fine like any otis would since they are high quality

[@ElevatingDenver]

Superduper Julien & technicalboy 3000 What makes this mod sad is these elevators' history. These elevators meant a lot to our community, they represented the beginning of elevator photography. To us, they're a real piece of our history, but to the hotel management, they were an eyesore. The hotel's management is the reason why these are getting ruined.

[@FloridianElevators]

I just took at least 3 elevator videos that are uploading now!!!!

[@FloridianElevators]

Otis makes awesome elevators but this is hard to believe!!!!

[@elevatorsautomaticdoors2708]

The Modernized Elevators would not open up for you, I am not sure why

[@moose9784]

All right, I'm okay with the modernization, but they have a few voice announcement bugs to work out. Hopefully that'll be taken care of before the year is out.

[@elevcarwashsirensandmore21]

If they would have kept the old buttons but they changed the floor passing chime. I would have been okay with that.

[@NewEnglandElevators]

It's definitely a little sad seeing classic elevators like this get modernized, especially those with impressive technology for the time such as the Elevonic 401 system. However, I am interested to see what the future holds for these elevators, even if the mod does look a little run-of-the mill for current OTIS products. I like the video monitor with the modernized product, though!

[@elevcarwashsirensandmore21]

The cabs are original. They kept the old Series 1 lanterns and the Epco lantetns on 10. Unfortunately, new buttons. I feel like if these were still original in 2024. Most likely, the voice would have been dead on all of these. I for a fact. A lot of the voices did not work on this video. I do love the buttons though. The floor passing chime is nice. I would not have cared if that changed. Atlanta Marriott Marquis, Shame on you for modernizing these!!

[@OregonTransitFan]

This place is in a dire need of a MAJOR renovation. Just look at the guest floors. Screams the 80s. I wish they put more effort in the modernization besides a slap on. They need destination dispatch but they aren't that busy. Overall they need to do what they did with the New York marquis

[@NathanDavisVideos]

+Cherry City Elevators I think the architecture of the place is kind of cool! I makes me think of the future because of all the curves and lights and stuff. It all futuristic and makes me think of a spaceship. How come they don't even do that crap anymore. Instead the new building are all blocky and crap. I wish they still made buildings like this today. Matter of fact the stuff from 30 years ago is made to last unlike the crap today!

[@procksomaterman]

+Cherry City Elevators Destination dispatch would not be necessary here, as there are 4 banks of elevators serving 47 floors in total. witch means that alike calls, are already sorted down by banks of elevators the one they have in NY has two banks of elevators serving 49 floors, and had problems with elevator traffic prior to modernization

[@OregonTransitFan]

I realize what you mean by the architecture, but the outside is rather odd... It's often referred to as the pregnant building. And in Portland, they're constructing really cool buildings. I like them a lot. 70s and 80s was a sad time in architecture. Don't get me started lol.

jim mcintyre You are correct. Any Destination Dispatch System would be epic but Compass would be more epic. That could be something they could do last.

jim mcintyre compass would not be necessary, as there are meany banks of elevators, and each only serves about 10 floors each

It would work! That's what they normally do today in a high-rise building
