Yeah, the elevator situation really has gotten crazy. I mean, hell, the Park Plaza had elevator action in spades. I know this place is more fragile, but it's not like this is ConFusion 2000, where there are only two elevators that keep overheating and trapping people every five minutes.
These elevators can carry a LOT of weight. How do I know? Because the freight elevators were broken on Friday, and the hotel told us we should carry the heavy, heavy pieces of the bar we were hauling up to our suite through the passenger elevators. It was unpleasant, but we did it, and never once did I feel unsafe or worried. Because I've BEEN on overloaded elevators in the past, and they are remarkable at making any number and amount of alarming noises when their weight limits are past the saftey tolerance. :)
I did my best to resort to the stairs whenever possible. I honestly think that the biggest "problem" caused by the move from the Park Plaza has been the elevators. And um..the way some folks have dealt with the issue personally *heh*.
I agree..more staff involvement with elevator monitoring might be the key. It sucks, but if we have "elevator vigilantes" suddenly taking the situation into their own hands, that's really ungood.
