  • Those elevators are big picecs of bullshit.

  • @irwinw2010 They used to be. Now they run quite well, although the controller is still screwed up.

  • This video got more comments than I expected. I actually now realized that this bad situation is not because those elevators are Dover/ThyssenKrupp, it is that the hotel didn't maintain those elevators properly. These elevators run quite nicely now, but are extremely busy and are still kind of messed up.

  • CRAP!! That's one hell of a deathtrap!

  • @cannycart Now that was fixed, but the controller is still messed up.

  • On that era of Dover, it isn't uncommon for the counterweight to screech like that if not lubricated regularily. The 10-stop in my parents' appartment makes that noise 2 days after elevator company has been on site and continues until next time they come back...

  • can we say BANJO???

  • @escalatorgeek881 NO DOOR OPEN ? 0:40

  • Ben Dover

  • id probably piss myself if i heard that type of sound, theres dover for yoi

  • I still wouldnt stay here if I ever get to come to myrtle beach

  • I actually like dover and I agree there is no excuse for those elevators to run that way even though they are fixed up now Palace could of maintained them better than this

  • you think with the name of the hotel the elevators would be nicer

  • This is why I *hate* Dover's. Sorry dieselducy lol
