  • Very nice elevators, and I am surprised that you got into the building on a weekend.

  • I am too - the Marriott Marquis entrance is unlocked, and there is no guard on duty. Also, there are absolutely no security cameras in the lobby.

  • Definitely a fluke!

  • It's very strange, since the building is a part of the Peachtree Center. All of the other buildings (except Marquis Tower One) have cameras everywhere, and are heavily staffed with security guards.

  • what are you doing?

    

  • @musicfreakcc I actually tried this when I went to Atlanta three weeks ago, and they actually locked off all of the upper floors, the Baker Lobby, and the Garden Lobby. When I went back on a weekday, they were all unlocked.

  • What is the scissor gate for at 3:20?

  • Wow! You can hear the motors and generators! I love those sounds! Especially on a Dover!

  • Interesting how they made the top of the door frame into florescent lighting - must have a nice effect on the mirrored walls.

  • I like dover elevators I dont know why most people hate the

  • That's amazing how the other buildings have lots of security, and that this place is open on weekends.
