yep I got stuck in the elevator at the Holiday Inn in cleveland in 2002 too - but at least they could pry the door open and get us out with a little step ladder that seems to be stored just a little too conviently close by

last friday at the Embassy suites the elevator went up to where the 2nd floor would be, and it stopped there - so there was no door to pry open and let them out cause there is no second floor

they had to wait for the Otis Man (dressed all in green like a superhero) to arrive and force the elevator to overide its safety shutoffs.

BTW - I wasnt stuck in there with the students, I playing crossing guard on the street.

somehow an elevator full of engineers didn't realize maximum MEANS MAXIMUM. We were very thankful the hotel did not get mad at us...

speaking about elevators- anyone else have this same problem at Houston last year? We stayed at the hotel across the street (radisson?) and the elevator was always busted, once our head programmer actually opened the elevator panel and connected two wires. It worked.

Yay for being on the first floor!
