Chatted with the elevator repairman and he told me that he got called out for malfunctioning elevator doors at least once a week at that hotel. Didn't surprise me a bit.
Went to get into the elevator at one point and the doors started to slam shut. I stopped, held up a finger, and muttered, "Don't even think it." The doors stopped, then slowly slid open again. I had no problem the rest of the time I was there.
Then there was the time another elevator passenger and I physically braced each door open as an elderly man using a walker and his wife entered the elevator. The guy and I saw the doors jerk and we threw ourselves against the door edges. It was a real struggle because whatever was pushing the doors closed was very determined, but so were we. The elderly couple were completely oblivious to what we were doing. Afterwards, the guy said to me, "Interesting elevator." I replied, "I noticed."
