Re: [97attendees] Please make use of the glass elevators

For the more adventurous there are also stairs between some (all?) of the public floors.

Subject: [97attendees] Please make use of the glass elevators

As in many previous meetings that involve particularly tall buildings, those of us staying in the Conrad will frequently find ourselves stranded some 20 floors above the meeting we need to be in, waiting several minutes for an elevator to show up. Some of this is a simple traffic flow problem, but some of it appears to stem from people not noticing a critical and useful feature of this hotel.

There are six elevators that service the guest room floors, allowing people who stay here to get from their rooms to the meetings and vice-versa.

Perpendicular to the guest-room elevator bank, there are four nice, large glass elevators that service only the public (non-guest-room) levels of the hotel. On a casual observation, it would appear that these glass elevators are going largely unused, with most people choosing to use the guest-floor elevators to traverse among pubic floors.

I would propose that we could ameliorate the extremely long waits to get down from guest floors if people were to generally favor the glass elevators unless they are going to a guest floor. As a bonus, since you won't be competing with people trying to get to and from their hotel rooms, you'll probably get where you're going faster also.
