Full Hotel Tour of Hilton Garden Inn
This was a Christmas present from Andrea Coon so a BIG THANK YOU to her for this. I hope you enjoy the tour...On some of the segments, we have cameo appearances by Cannycart & Dieselducy from the tour we took them on via FaceTime although Dieselducy was just on audio on other phone that my dad was using. I did the best I could with editing the footage as sometimes both dad & I were talking at the same time and sometimes you could hear Dieselducy and Cannycart and then sometimes you couldn't & it was just too confusing so this hotel tour's final version is not what I had originally planned but I think it is edited in a presentable way for ya'll to enjoy. :) I would recommend staying at this hotel if in the area. You can check out their website for more info at Hilton Garden Inn Anderson,SC Website. Be sure to check out my other video from here as well which includes HGI's Breakfast Grill and in room Keurig Coffee Maker demonstration at this link TJ's Hilton Garden Inn Video2014-05-05 23:45:12

Full Hotel Tour of Hampton Inn in Anderson, SC Alliance Business Park
It was very nice to meet the General Manager, H.M. Craft who was showing Hamptonality at its finest by working behind the desk on a Sunday afternoon, on our stop here at this 4 year old Hampton Inn which by the way, looks brand new. He even put me to work as room inspector which I thought that was pretty neat. It passed inspection and won a seal of approval. :) For more info on this fine Hampton, check out their website at Hampton Inn Anderson SC Alliance Business Park & you can check out my FB page for photos at Anderson SC Hampton Inn Alliance Business Park Photos2014-05-02 01:03:02

Thyssenkrupp Elevator at the Pioneer Building in Asheville, NC
I added a sound effect in this one. Thought it would be neat to hear this sound when pushing an elevator button. This is another quick little video we did the day we went downtown in Asheville to eat at Loretta's Café. This was one we spotted on our way back to the Hampton and decided to pop in real quick because the outside of the building looked kind of neat. We really didn't spend a whole lot of time filming in Asheville because I wanted to stay and work with my fellow team members at Hampton Inn Tunnel Road since it had been awhile from our last time up there :)2014-04-15 00:27:48

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. Other guests on the DVD includes Cannycart, Dieselducy & The Elevator Channel. All proceeds from the DVD will go to my school.

Historic Chimney Elevators at Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC
We have filmed these before but never get tired of these historic elevators which are in Ripley's Believe it or Not. We had stopped by the Grove Park Inn to see the Gingerbread Houses and Christmas Trees over Thanksgiving Weekend. That video will be coming soon. I took the opportunity to ride the 2 historic chimney elevators again. These elevators are 100 years old and even though they don't have the original fixtures, they are still neat to ride :) These are maintained by Asheville Elevator Company which is a wonderful company, see Asheville Elevator Company Testimonials. To view more videos from Grove Park Inn, see my playlist which includes 2 room tours and other elevators at the resort. Grove Park Inn Playlist2013-12-03 21:59:19

Countdown to My 4th Anniversary on Youtube
November 30th will mark my 4th Anniversary on YouTube. 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. Stay tuned for the hotel tour which will be coming up soon on Saturday's upload.... You can see the Pancake Maker mentioned in this video at this link Pancake Maker Video.

This is a very nice Hampton. Thank you to the front desk staff for giving me the neat gifts. This Hampton was booked up at the time of our visit so we didn't get a room tour but the front desk staff did give us a key that would get us into the business, fitness centers. They have an outdoor pool which we showed from the window as it was kind of rainy off and on the day we visited. This Hampton has 2 buildings which the one building has the neat scenic Dover elevator which can be seen in the video at this link West Knoxville Hampton Scenic Dover Elevator and then the main lobby elevators (ThyssenKrupp) are shown in this mini hotel tour video.

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

Otis Elevator at the Riverside Tower in Pigeon Forge, TN
I was going through my files today and saw this one at Riverside. I thought I had already uploaded this one for some reason but it was still in the need to upload file instead of already uploaded file so I did a search on my videos and didn't see it so I guess I was mistaken about thinking it was one I already uploaded. There are a lot of hotels in Pigeon Forge with the name River in them. :)2013-11-14 23:14:13

Old Dover or Otis Modded at River Edge Motor Lodge in Gatlinburg, TN
I believe this used to be a Dover but has since been modded. There was no floor indicator except for the fixtures. This was the building right near Oak Square.

Mini Tour of the Clarion Inn Willow River Sevierville, TN

The hotel is made to resemble Tara in Gone with the Wind movie and as you will see in the video, they have a Rhett Butler & Scarlett O'Hara Fall Harvest display outside. 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.

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.
