Schindler Port Traction Scenic High Rise elevators at Marriott Marquis Times Square

[Filmed July 21, 2024]
The Schindler Miconic 10 got upgraded to Port in 2019 but thanks to a low battery in my last visit, I couldn't get a video. Thanks to covid (2020) and crime issues (2021-23) I hadn't gotten back here since that fail and unfortunately thanks to the aforementioned crime this place has become MUCH MUCH tougher to film. These epic elevators are keycarded for anything above 9 making them hard to ride above the atrium unless staying here. They also have signs in the entrance that the restrooms are not public anymore. Because I live in the NYC area it's unlikely for me to stay in any NYC hotel unless there is something special going on.
When I visited in 2019 some of the panels were the Z lined keypads and some were PORT but they have removed the Z line keypads for ALL PORT.

i feel like they modded them just to keycard them

the sign is old theres 2 bathrooms on 7 and 8

The bathrooms are there but the signs weren't there pre-covid (most likely added in 2021 when they locked the elevators)

[@cubsfan5734]

you can blame deblasio and eric adams for this

[@aceee06]

I completely agree and you can add governor kathy hochul and pro crime da alvin bragg to that list.
