I like watching elevator and escalator movies.

Wow, you have to hold the button down? that's pathetic, they should at least upgrade the control panel so that the controller has at least 3K of memory. jeez.

[musicfreakcc]

@dickcheney6 It's a deadman's switch - that's why.

[an65001]

Dead man's controls on a hydro. Go figure.

[TheZekethunder]

I am not a big fan of that this isn't a modern elevator. It should be one with automatic doors and a nicer style.

[elevatorfreak112]

@TheZekethunder nobody likes automatic doors they are boring

[KyFriedPlatypus]

This elevator is pathetic. They should only install an elevator like this if it serves half a floor, rather than 2 whole floors! If it were a typical hydraulic elevator, It would probably be upstairs/ downstairs in about 5 seconds!

[musicfreakcc]

@KyFriedPlatypus The worst part of all is that there's a 3rd floor which has no elevator access! In fact, that's the very reason I kept hitting the button for the 2nd floor at the beginning, since I didn't even know there was a basement.

[KyFriedPlatypus]

Wow, the design/set-up of the hotel is pretty flawed. They need to call in KONE, and install a REAL elevator that serves ALL 3 floors!

[jdgator95]

Could someone open the door when the elevator (if it can be called that :P) isn't at that floor?

[lamboboy732]

I would stop it half way and leave it with the emergency alarm on. Probably dosent have an external override it is so old.

[Baytrail]

Ridiculous.

[SchindlerHaughton]

That thing is a rocket! How badly did your ears pop?

[wildwhitedaisies]

Lifts are only allowed to run at a max of 50 ft a minute. They are only meant for the physically disabled and requires a trained operator to move them. Its not the elevators fault its just playing by the rules. Take the stairs

[JonElevator]

The elevators in sears tower & empire state building almost can get to floor 103 and 86 before this gets to one. They call themselves quality inn-get a QUALITY elevator.

[Quentinmovie]

Is that the only Elevator in the hotel?. If this was the UK, that would be described as a "Wheelchair Lift", one provided for the disabled and elderly who cannot cilmb stairs.

[otis401shan]

There are some Concord elevator installed in Hong Kong, but only people with wheelchairs can use it.

[mattanddaxter]

Elevator vidoes? I never knew.

[elev8m8]

man, oh man that is so slow, i wouldnt even trust riding it.

[harrihealey02]

wow, That was slow. I think they should replace it with a kone maxispace and you could go 20 floors before that reaches 1

[starbucks95905rants]

Wow, that is so cheap.

[TickleFromGulfBreeze]

this is slightly painful to watch... they call themselves quality inn... at least get a real elevator for god's sake!

[djFadeOut122]

hissen12, how can you like a sad, slow elevator like that??

[NewAgeServer]

The someone else was me lol.

[FranceHopper]

Quality Inn needs a better quality elevator XD

[KWolfM]

Yeah, it's a piece of shit. I don't think anyone want to ride that <_<

[lilbrian97]

is there a door open button on it?

[NHComputerGeek]

omg i think that is meant to kill people, or cut their fingers off, LOL, very weird...

[hissen12]

Nice elevator. I love that!

[thyssenelevator95]

I see here that Concord gives a new meaning to "Do not use the elevator in a fire". becuase the building would be just ashes as soon as you got to the 1st floor.

[dea41396returns]

what a piece of shit

[CaptainElevator42189]

I don't like those manually run elevators where the buttons have to held down for them to operate. But interestingly, the motor sounds like a quieter, higher pitched Montgomery/Kone power unit.
