Wide shot of the back

A final shot of the back of the hotel, you can see that it is mostly gutteed, while the front still appears to be untouched.

Closeup of the wreckage

Here's a closeup of the upper floors. They really tore things apart there.

Top of the elevator shafts

The top of the elevator shafts. It looks like they actually left the part from the 23rd floor intact.

I have many memories of standing in that hallway waiting on the elevators.

Another back view 2

If you look in the center, you can see that the elevator shafts are still present. I would guess that they provide support for much of the building and destroying them would cause the building to collapse.

What's left of the parking garage

Actually, there isn't much left of the parking garage. It was completely demolished and flattened out.

No Climbing!

It's as if they knew I was coming...

Scaffolding along Monument Road

They had scaffolding in front of the hotel on monument road. Unfortunately, there was cloth to the left, so I could not get any good pictures of where the pool area used to be.

I can see light

Yep. Daylight is shining through the windows. They have completely gutted the rooms at this point.

In front of the hotel

Looking up at the hotel was a really awesome site in real life. I tried my best to convey it in this picture.

The empty windows look kinda like a grid from a video game.
