SMALL Dover Freight Elevator @ Days Inn Nashville TN former King of the Road Motor Inn Roger Miller

A YOUTUBE FIRST!! A Motel with a freight elevator. I have stayed at this motel on several occasions. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dieselducy/3439138313/ HERE is a pic of the motel. This motel was built in the 1960s by Roger Miller himself!! He called it "The King of the Road Motor Inn" you have probably heard his song. It was quite the place when it opened. check out its reviews on tripadvisor now. The freight elevator is fairly difficult to access though. I LOVE the dover fixtures in this lift. YES i was flashing low battery and I was in a rush too. ENJOY youtubes first MOTEL freight elevator!!

I actually worked on this elevator when I worked for Nashville Machine.

AWESOME!!! can you tell me what year this days in or King of the Road Motor inn was built??

wow, I would NEVER guess that any hotel would have a freight elevator. What could they possibly need it for? I cant think of anything a hotel would need to move that would require one. The biggest thing I can think of is a rollaway bed, but that would fit easily in a normal elevator.

yeah. the passenger elevators were actually BIGGER!! its VERY narrow shape gave it an illlusion of being bigger than it really was.

@jack9547 I've seen one before at the Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg. Kinda surprised me too!

This should be a passenger elevator.

[SchindlerHaughton]

This hotel was built in 1969.

I have NEVER seen a 9 story Days Inn.

@pnwelevator It is also a relatively small elevator. Probably for laundry, carts and trash.

The doors seemed to be not that heavy. But 2K capacity, that is useless for freight.
