A Short Staycation at the Hampton Inn in Cornelius, NC
Not very often that one stays at their local Hampton Inn but due to our hot water heater going out on us and the new one couldn't be installed until 2 days later, I got to stay at one of our local Hamptons as an overnight guest. :) One of the best parts about this is I got more time working behind the front desk which I really enjoy. :) For more videos of this particular Hampton, check the links below & you can also check out the photo album on my FB Page at Cornelius Hampton Photos

I want to say a big THANK YOU for giving me close to 3 and 1/2 Million Views since I started my YT Channel back in November of 2009 :) At the time of this uploading, I now have 3,499,702 views. Hope you all have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS&A HAPPY NEW YEAR! These are some of the lights displays we saw this year. I hope you enjoy them.

Biltmore Estate Christmas 2013
Here is some footage we took on the grounds of Biltmore Estate over Thanksgiving Weekend this year. We had gone up to Asheville with my grandparents and went to a Christmas twilight tour of the Biltmore Estate which was pretty neat! We ate at the Stable Cafe and did a little bit of shopping as well. Footage is all outside of the actual house as there is no photography allowed inside the house itself. I had a lot of fun riding that historic Otis elevator inside. I had ridden it in the daytime back in 2012 when we went to Biltmore with my Aunt Brenda & Uncle Wendell but I must say it was a lot more fun to ride it when it was dark outside as you notice the cab light more (or at least I did). For pictures of Biltmore we took both in 2012 and this year, you can click on this link that takes you to photo album on my FB page Biltmore Photo Album and for the Stable Cafe pictures, click here Stable Cafe Photo Album.

At the Holiday Inn in Greensboro, NC with BCElevators
Here's one from my meet up with BCElevators this past Summer in Greensboro, NC that I had forgotten to put in my upload folder. Trevor started to film this one but camera battery died and then his iPhone battery was getting low. Dad forgot to get photo of the outside view of hotel but he did get a really nice view out the window at the sun set. :) We also did a video with Trevor at the Homewood Suites in Greensboro but that one will not be uploaded to YT as that is part of the exclusive material for the school fund raiser DVD that is now on sale available on my website.

We have filmed these before but never get tired of these historic elevators which are in Ripley's Believe it or Not.

This video marks the countdown to a very special tour of a special hotel & believe it or not, it is not a Hampton although Hamptons are pretty special to me. :) This video shows the breakfast that the Inn @ Christmas Place in Pigeon Forge, TN has. Some of the footage mom took, she went by a little too fast but it still shows what it was like. :) We stayed here for part of our fall break this past October. It was part of mom's present from dad back in June for their 24th Wedding Anniversary. We stayed in the Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus Suite which was pretty neat.

They have an outdoor pool which we showed from the window as it was kind of rainy off and on the day we visited.

Otis Elevator at the River Place Inn Condos?
Question mark is because we don't what condos or hotel this is as there was no name at all anywhere on the particular building. There was a building across the street that was on the parkway called River Place Inn Condos so this could be part of that or it could be another building of River Place Condos although it is basically on another lot of land.2013-11-17 00:50:17

You can check out my FB page for pictures that we took around the hotel. If they have a fitness center, we didn't find it. I believe the elevator is a Montgomery Kone.

Scenic Thyssenkrupp Elevators at Bass Pro Shop in Kodak, Tennessee
This was a very neat Bass Pro Shops. We stopped here on our way back to Pigeon Forge from a day in Knoxville exploring the Hampton Inns. There is a very nice restaurant inside of this BPS called Uncle Buck's Grill which we decided to eat at as we were about to go looking for a good place to eat after this stop. I would recommend Uncle Buck's as it was a neat place to eat at and has very good food. We enjoyed the scenic glass ThyssenKrupp elevators out in the main part of the store also. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed the time we spent there. :) For more info on BPS, check out their website at Bass Pro Shops Sevierville TN & also their FB page at Bass Pro Shops Sevierville Facebook.

National Elevators at the Inn on the River in Pigeon Forge, TN
This used to be a Hampton Inn on the River years ago. There are 2 buildings connected together by the pool area in the middle (it was that way when it was a Hampton too) and the 2nd elevator has more of a motor on it than the first one. We actually stayed here when it was a Hampton back when I was much younger.2013-10-25 05:29:54

Dover Elevator at River Lodge in Pigeon Forge, TN
This is a semi glass elevator which has glass windows sections. Pretty neat Dover elevator. The door to the elevator is somewhat narrow. We believe this is the River Lodge in Pigeon Forge. Office is located off parkway then you drive across the back street from parkway to get to actual motel building where this elevator is located.2013-10-24 05:42:47

Neat Call Station Floor Indicator on Elevator at the Oak Square Condominiums
I believe this is a Southern but not sure. It may not be original Southern but maybe modded by Southern? Any Guesses out there on this one? I posted a picture of floor indicator call station and got several guesses such as Otis, Southern or Haughton. Thanks to all who gave their opinion on FB :)2013-10-19 06:28:22

Facetime with EMS318 at the Hampton Inn Near Charlotte Douglas International Airport
We face timed with EMS318 again but this time with our new iphone 5s so we didn't lose him in the elevator. This is the Hampton Inn that we did a hotel tour back in 2010 with Cannycart when he was staying here. Excellent staff. It looks like this one has been renovated since then. Enjoy a mini hotel tour as we ride the elevator then take a look at the business center, pool and fitness center.

Tour of Suite 228 at the Hampton Inn in Christiansburg, Virginia
This Hampton Inn has just recently been renovated. Special thanks to Elizabeth Bellows for letting us tour suite 228. You really need to see the bathroom in this suite! One of the biggest I have seen in a Hampton. :) We also take a ride on the Dover elevators. We actually had filmed these before with Cannycart and Dieselducy but I think we had issues with the camera card or something and didn't really get a full video of the ride so we decided to go ahead and do a retake on these great elevators.2013-09-22 00:54:26

For ChrisVideos: Otis Elevator at Hampton Inn Tunnel Road in Asheville, NC
This was taken back this past August when I met up with my Aunt Brenda, Uncle Wendell&my Pop-Pop on one their overnight stops from Fayetteville, NC back to Utah. They haven't had a chance to see my elevator dedication plaque yet so this was a good chance to do that&to spend some time with them. I wasn't really planning on uploading this video for YT but just have it for my personal videos but YT User ChrisVideos requested another video of this particular elevator so here it is. I also added a bonus clip of me with Reggie working behind the desk and a little saying we came up with.... Hope you enjoy it.2013-09-18 19:50:33

Requested Video Footage of Hampton Inn Greensboro, NC Coliseum Area
I got an email from a lady named Heather. She wanted to know if I had any more footage of the Hampton Inn in Greensboro, NC near the coliseum area. We did. These video clips features some of the outside views at night, the fitness center, guest laundry & some of the pool plus the room we stayed in. Heather, I hope you enjoy this video. Most of this footage was taken by mom at night so there's no talking during the tour except for guest laundry segment. In that section you can hear the GM talking about the Maytag Machines. I thought about adding dialogue to the other segments but decided sometimes a video can speak for itself so that's the route I went with for this version. This is the same hotel that I did a hotel tour with BCElevators this past summer. It is ranked #2 out of 74 hotels in Greensboro on Trip Advisor.
