Thundering Otis Freight Elevator - HIlton Union Square Tower 1/2 - San Francisco, California

This is the Tower 1 freight elevator but also serves the ballrooms in Tower 2. The motor is so loud

Excellent ride, I wish I had that courage to ride freights, I'm too scared of being busted.

Why the hell did you keep walking away instead of filming through the vision pannel.

One of my stays there was for the Bowling Proprietors Convention (BPAA) in 1995. I always wondered how they got entire bowling pinsetters and lanes up to the ballroom level for the tradeshow. This explains it. Thanks! Where is this located? I never saw it.

I might have been on this one. Did you check when it was made?

[@upanddownadventures]

There are two freight elevators here. The other one was recently modernized. This freight elevator is closer to tower 1.
