Honestly, these are too boring for a hotel. The cabs are so plain. The mod is bad and it's just another slap-on. This is the second mod of these elevators. Shame. This video was filmed during check-in time and right after I was done, there was a line waiting for the elevators. There are more elevators here but I didn't feel like being disappointed anymore.

You can hear the nice motor.

WARNING: Any comments that display the building's name, address, or specific location will be removed immediately, even if those can be seen or heard in this video! No exceptions!

Here we have some Kone Altas that run at 1,000 FPM for 38 floors. One of the five cars serves ALL the floors while the rest of them only serve floors 1 and 4 through 38.

MY THOUGHTS:
These elevators kinda remind me of the Hyatt Centric Times Square in New York. It's not just because of the Innovation buttons, it's because of how fast and smooth they travel and how thin the elevator doors are. I also like the green and red lanterns for up and down. Overall, these elevators are great!

This is a very hip and newly renovated hotel. I can tell this place caters to the younger class. The elevators got modded but they're really nice! I was able to ride up a bit with some dude. These are otherwise locked off so I wouldn't have gotten a video of these if it wasn't for him...

Note: This elevator is not public (unless you are staying here). This video was filmed with permission.

The machine room footage I have decided to put in a separate video.

There were 2 fails when filming this video.
1. I ran out of memory at one point, and had to delete some videos (ones that I had already uploaded)
2. I had to retake part of the video because I was accidently recording in slow motion for the first take of the 2nd part of the video.

This elevator has 3 brand names on it, and I am not sure if any of them are original! There is a Columbia namplate on the car top, and on the governor, the motor is labeled Serge, and the controller is labeled Virginia Controls (though I think they just make controllers and don't install elevators). I am guessing Serge is the original brand, though I don't know for sure if this was always traction. This elevator could have originally been winding drum. One very strange thing about this elevator is that the basement elevator machine room door appears to be an elevator swing door! There is a window in the door, but there is even an area of the door missing where the piece that goes into the interlock would go! Did a 2nd elevator once exist? I kind of doubt it, but I don't know.

Sadly, there are plans to modernize, or possibly even completely replace this elevator.

Year installed: Unknown (building was built in 1909, but I am not sure if this elevator was from then or a little later)
