What happened
The Holiday Inn & Suites in Pittsfield has been closed since September 25 after its last working elevator broke down. The hotel, which has nearly 180 guest rooms, is still working to meet code compliance requirements. The 101 Restaurant & Bar located within the property has also temporarily shut its doors while repairs are ongoing. The City of Pittsfield Building Commissioner noted that the closure was necessary because the hotel lacked working elevators, requiring emergency personnel to assist mobility-impaired guests.

Why it matters
The prolonged closure of the Holiday Inn & Suites affects the business operations of the hotel and its associated restaurant. Massachusetts requires multi-level public buildings to have elevator access, and the hotel must provide the City of Pittsfield with repair timelines and contracts before reopening.
