Huge thanks to general manager John Carpenter for taking us on a behind the scenes tour of his wonderful new Hampton Inn hotel. We go on to the roof and we also get to see the Mechanical, Telephone & Electrical rooms. We got to tour several room types plus kitchen and the back patio where they have a very nice grill and pool & fitness areas. For some reason, we missed out filming the front patio where they had a fire pit which is very nice. I hope to go back soon as I was feeling under the weather when we were there but didn't want to postpone the trip. Be sure to check out their facebook page at www.facebook.com/HamptonInnColumbiaSE. I also had a request to upload the segment where John is discussing specifics of the elevators so stay tuned as that is at the end of video. You can also check out my facebook page for more photos on this neat hotel. www.facebook.com/tjelevatorfan. Some of the material in this full hotel tour may have already been uploaded in separate videos but we had both mom and dad filming so it is from a different perspective somewhat. :) The elevator scenes at the end are the same as the video of them uploaded already but in this clip, it has the extra audio of John discussing the specifics of the elevator system. That was really the best video we got of the elevators. The other clips we had gotten of the elevators has people getting in and out on various floors so we decided not to use that part of our footage . Hope you enjoy it. www.otis.com/site/us/ pages/Gen2Elevator.aspx?menuID=2
