A Re-Visit of the Otis Elevator at the Hampton Inn in Wilkesboro, NC

Special thanks to General Manager, Juan Torres&Toni Buffey (Sales Manager) for inviting me to participate in the Grand Opening Event of Home2 Suites in Charlotte, NC.

Schindler Elevator at the Holiday Inn Express in Shelby, NC
Didn't get it on camera but from the highway as you are passing by this hotel - there is a sloping bank that has a billboard right in front of the Holiday Inn Express that adverstises for the Hampton Inn that is located just down the street. I thought that was kind of funny. This Schindler seemed to be a bit noiser than normal but otherwise nice.2012-11-01 18:21:01

Otis Elevator at the Extended Stay America in Charlotte, NC
2 things to notice about this video clip: at 0:39 the directional indicator and also at 1:42 watch what happens with the phone door. Not a bad elevator although it did smell like smoke but that has nothing to do with the actual elevator itself. :) Liked the message on the bullentin board in employee break area (we didn't go in there - just took picture as door was open as we were passing by it)2012-10-25 05:43:55

Hotel Room Time: Behind the Scenes Look at Being Filmed for "Elevated Hamptonality"
Clem - your mom has told me that you enjoy watching my videos so I thought I would surprise you and do a shout out to you. I appreciate you watching my videos and keeping up with me on Facebook. This is a behind the scenes look at some of the things we did for the filming of "Elevated Hamptonality" video that the great guys from icrossing filmed for Hampton. These scenes are the ones filmed actually in our room with me brushing teeth, Bear Story time&me using my computer. For more info on the film production company, check out their website at www.icrossing.com Some may think I might be too old for a Bear story but it is a tradition that dad&I do on weekend nights and special nights like when we are in a hotel. I enjoy hearing all the different voices dad comes up with for each of the bears and sometimes I even help come up with the plot of the story. We use different bears on different nights so that's another reason why I like to collect the TY bears because I look forward to dad making up a voice&personality for each one. :)2012-10-18 08:20:04

This is a shout out to TotallyTechStuff. Thanks for watching my videos. BCElevators has filmed these also.

At one point in the video you can see a string on the back of my hair that we didn't realize was there. I had taken off my hat in the car and I guess somehow there had been a string inside of it that stayed on my hair.2012-10-08 02:16:51

First up is a video clip (&also some photos) of the birthplace of Elvis Presley and the church building his family attended. 2nd is the Otis Series 1 elevator at the Staybridge Suites in Memphis, Tennessee which I am thinking used to be something else and Staybridge bought it because it is not your typical Staybridge design.2012-09-27 17:54:12

Kone Monospace Elevators at the Westin in Downtown Memphis, Tennessee
This is another shout out video. This one is to YT user 55466244. Thanks for watching my videos. We found the same set up as bcelevators when he filmed these. One elevator gave full access even though it had a card reader up to the 9th floor while the other elevator was locked out except to 2nd floor. Gluse has also filmed these.2012-09-27 15:19:38

Thyssenkrupp Elevator at the Memphis East 4 Points by Sheraton
When bcelevators filmed these (who got a better video of these then we did) elevator number 2 was having a door issue but it seems to have been fixed as it really didn't have a problem with us. These were really busy when we stopped by but we managed to get enough clips to put a video together. Elevator number one never did come down. The elevator bank in lobby had mirror doors. We used one of the video clips that we filmed here of the mirror doors in the birthday video for codownsonwii so I didn't include that one in this clip. Overall a very nice elevator.2012-09-26 14:01:26

A Revisit to the Rare Thyssenkrupp Elevator w/ Studio Fixtures w/ Bonus
Bonus - it went into nudge mode so we got a little bit of that in this clip. I thought it would be neat to take my "TJ's Elevator" name plate that Thyssenkrupp Elevators made for me and take some pictures of it in this rare TKE w/ studio fixtures. Hope you enjoy it. This is also another requested shout out video. This one is to mjbruce11. I had somebody email me and ask what are all the shout outs for. Most of them with exception of one or two have been requested shout outs from my viewers. A shout out is a way to say thanks to someone, so my shout outs are to say thanks for watching my videos. I will be uploading a shout out video for ALL my viewers tomorrow (9-23-12) that will showcase all the TKE gifts I have gotten including the working call station so stay tuned... :)2012-09-22 21:44:19

Westinghouse Elevators at the Hilton Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee
bcelevators did a floor tour for me at this hotel so this was one of the hotels on my list to see while in TN. :) We went at night so we didn't really get a good view outside the glass elevator window so check out bcelevators video on these because he did get a good view. Overall very nice elevator and colorful lobby.2012-09-16 05:25:00

For Schindlerman96
I really like Schindlerman96's channel. Check out his YT Channel If you haven't checked it out yet. They say impersonations can be a form of appreciation and that is what I am attempting to do so in this short clip. I meant to have it part of our trip to TN video but somehow this clip got overlooked when that video was put together so I decided to just upload it by itself. We were in the car heading to the airport and I try to do my best impersonation of Schindlerman96 who had did something similar in his road trip video. :) Hope you like it Schindlerman96.2012-09-08 23:30:24

A Glance into a Schindler Elevator Machine Room
A view into a Schindler Elevator Machine Room with the sounds of the elevator coming down first and then going up. We know elevator machine rooms can be dangerous so we didn't actually go into it, we just stayed by the open door.

Way Cool Thyssenkrupp (Dover) Elevators at Residence Inn in Downtonwn Memphis, TN
These were kind of cool looking. I was about give out by the time we got to these but I still enjoyed riding them. After we rode these elevators, we went to dinner at Kooky Canuck's which was a fun place to eat at. After dinner we took a twilight horse carriage ride through downtown which was also a lot of fun and very relaxing. We ended the night off with some time in the hotel pool before bedtime :) www.kookycanuck.com/about-kooky-canuck/2012-09-08 05:55:52

Marriott Hotel in Memphis, TN has Haughton Elevators modded by Dover&Otis
These were also filmed by bcelevators. I didn't see his video take of these until after we had visited Memphis. It was very surprising to hear the Otis voice but the elevator had Dover fixtures. :) If you haven't checked out bcelevators yet, be sure to check out his channel. He has some pretty good videos.2012-09-07 15:29:09

Re-Upload of Otis Elevators w/ Touch Sensitive&Lexan Buttons @ HI Select
OK with the epic fail of 1st video uploading to YT right of these elevators, here is my 2nd attempt. I reprocessed the video through Corel software in case for some reason the first file was corrupt even though it played through fine on my computer before I uploaded it. I'm not sure if the problem occured in uploading to YT or if the problem was something in the mixing process in the Corel software. In any case, this was a nice hotel to explore. The elevators were Otis but had Dover phone button.2012-09-07 04:29:39

Customized Thyssenkrupp (Dover) Elevator at the Comfort Suites in Southaven, MS
One of the things I learned at the TKE Factory is that each elevator is customized to the customer's needs. You might not see the difference but no two elevators are the same. It's neat how on this one, you can see the difference. It had the wood look finished on every part of the elevator that they could including the frames for the fixtures and door to the telephone. Even the indicators in the lobby were encased in the wood frames. Nice hotel.2012-09-05 12:43:15

Strange Acting Dover Elevators at the Holiday Inn in West Memphis, Arkansas
Started this video with driving across the Arkansas state line. as this video marks the 7th state we have filmed in. :) The hotel looked very nice and impressive but the Dover elevators were not up to par in my book. The doors on both elevators seemed to close very fast on several occasions. No beep except once when closing I believe. The floor indicator in the lobby said 5 floors but both elevators only had 4 floor buttons to push. We didn't really take too much time on these.2012-09-04 23:15:04

Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel Located on Lonely Street in Memphis, Tennessee
No, we didn't stay here, just visited. It was ok but was not too impressed with it overall. The main elevator was broke but front desk clerk told us they had a north elevator that we could ride but warned us it might be slow. We got one good ride up to the 5th floor but then it got busy after that. Thanks to housekeeping staff who let us get a quick look into a typical king suite (non-theme) although we didn't show the bathroom as that was still in the process of being cleaned. Pool is heartshaped. TCB is the name of the business center and Kid Gallahad is the name of the fitness center.2012-09-04 14:51:58
