editI've got some other references that I'll incorporate - I'm near the bottom of the stack, and the first one I found is a little negative. Acroterion (talk) 02:58, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Confusing
editThe following is highly unlikely to be able to be properly sourced, plus it's way too much detail for an article about a hotel. If there is so much intrigue with the elevator system at the hotel, then an article of its own should be created, which is a problem due to aforementioned issue. Plus, this makes little sense:
- The hotel has 36 guest room floors starting with 10 and goes to 45. The hotel features an award-winning restaurant on the top floor called "The View" accessed by the last elevator that serves 23 and 28(the internals in those 8 don't serve the fitness center on 23, instead they go directly from 8 to 28) and the first that serves 23 with the nearest evens being served. Both serve level 9 which is the Marquis Ballroom. The rest of the fast High-Rise elevators to 45 enter express zone to 23 then go to 28 and all floors to 45. As for the ones that serve the floors in the XX zone and between 23 and 28, they just go from 8(highest that all serve) to 10(lowest room floor). The 49th floor is also stooped by these(55 must be entered into a keypad). 55 is rumored to be a floor that only car G is to go to but is only 1-27 then XX zone, then the top 3. 1 is the Ground floor and is obviously the main floor. 2 is an area where the mechanics for the building are and only the staff elevators go there. 3 is the theatre and access to 47 and 48 are. 4-7 is for events. 8 is the actual main floor with the front desk, concierge, bag check, restaurant, bar, and gift shop.

That's the reason for the tag being there. BenYes? 03:32, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
Linking corporation name
editI have twice now reverted removal of the link to the corporation, Marriott Hotels & Resorts, in the lede. This is basic information, and "Marriott" appears without a link in the account of how the hotel came to be built. It was originally removed as "POV" along with an adjective in front of Portman's name; I entirely agree that the adjective was POV, but naming who owns the hotel I cannot see as POV in any way. On the other hand, emblazoning the infobox with the Marriott logo under the name of the hotel strikes me as pure promotionalism, so I zapped that. Yngvadottir (talk) 20:34, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Overall: Really impressive work! Earwig's tool only flagged matches to attributed quotes and proper names. All four hooks are cited and interesting though I personally like the original and ALT1. Just awaiting QPQ. DanCherek (talk) 18:09, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
