Are you planning on visiting Los Angeles? Which hotels are you referring to? I should mention that one of the hotels that had a gated elevator since heavily modernized their elevator (no longer gated). The other one that I'm thinking of may still be there, but I am hesitant to suggest going there as it is a very sketchy place. If you are referring to the building with the bank of 2 Westinghouse elevators with Adams fixture replacements (original indicators, original controllers), I'm pretty sure that building is 100% vacant and is about to be gutted (ALL existing elevators removed). The building actually has 5 elevators, the bank of 2 passengers, a completely original, but defunct passenger, and 2 freights (which also have Adams fixture replacements) In terms of other places to visit, depends on which areas you plan to visit. Los Angeles city limits are very large, and the metropolitan area is even larger. I assume you plan to go downtown at least?
