[TheElevatorPlanet]

Can you get a retake?

[pat20105]

[SAMIEWALLFORD756]

Elevator serivces needs updated with renew one better than this. These is look likes a monster elevator, that was guess that!

[xXRazorfistXx]

The jaws of oblivion.

[smarin17]

take the stairs you lazies!

[Labratoria]

This, if anything, is a real death trap! You have the perfect right! :D

[the731272]

how do they pass inspection? or do they not inspect elevators in mexico?

[TheElevatorChannel]

@the731272 I don't know if they do formal inspections.

I have noticed that hotel maintenance sometimes works on the elevators down there, versus having a mechanic from the company come out.

[SAMIEWALLFORD756]

There is missing call the button the lift, why remove call the button, should put some button place in the elevator. That might be could affect getting electric shock! You've been care of it! That was scary to startled to noise elevator sliding doors like a death trapped!!!

[TheElevatorPlanet]

WOW! Those things are terrable. In the hotel I was staying at in Mexico even the servace elevators looked nice.(Didnt ride)

[TheBenjaminb09]

Oh My god that must of been worser then the one I was riding Its like a earthquate isn't

What is the voltage on the hall buttons? I know the old Otis Autotronic buttons got a regulated 70VDC, but I haven't a clue what other systems take. I think I see the REMAINS of safety edges here, which were probably just ripped out by some screwdriver monkey the day they messed up and kept a door from closing.

I don't know where this guy was at, but THAT was most assuredly NOT the Fiesta Americana. It doesn't look anything like the dive in this video...

[TheElevatorChannel]

@vidverm Unless you wandered through the service corridors, I'm not surprised that you wouldn't recognize this. It's down the hall to the right of the passenger elevator lobby behind a door on any guest room floor. You have to remember that these are the SERVICE elevators, not the passenger ones. I'm an elevator enthusiast, which explains why I went through the trouble to find and ride these.

[MG47126]

no bumpers on door

[mariocrossing1]

HOLLY CRAP! They SHOULD replace these elevators.

[patricknedz]

this elevator is awful, I would be afraid to get electrocuted by that button, the doors looks like its too quick

[KyFriedPlatypus]

That call button is crap.

[moviefreak95]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOo nice

[5169743494]

And I seen that. Your hand was almost going to be a goner. You have guts, I would had pissed and shitted on my self not trying to be funny. I WILL HAD DO THAT IN REALLIFE

[5169743494]

Whoa, that's fucked up. I don't even see how you pressed the button the first time. I would have finished recording and then curse everyone in the building out

[5169743494]

@lonerman270 Talking about a dream, I had a dream that I got stuck in a elevator. I hate elevators even though I'm fat I take stairs even if I have to go up 20 flights. But I'm fat

[shsav2012]

dover makes better quality elevators in PR and mexico than in the usa but still shitty OTIS

[lumix14]

These are the worst elevators I have ever seen! They should be taken out of service it's so bad!

[suzzex]

Those look wonderful!

[PinePowerLI]

That's Mexico for ya. I would never, ever go there, despite what Jimmy Buffet says...

[myotismon767]

scary elevator

[jimster586]

Did you play it safe and take the stairs back down? What year were these installed?

[TheElevatorChannel]

actually, my room was on 9. And I have no idea when this place was built.

[dontwalkhand]

These are definitely not Otis quality (More like schindler quality :D) , and really need to be modernized :D.

[revo8778]

No, more like ThyssenKrupp quality.
