Lift in the Premier Inn, Salford Docks

Installed in 1996, this lift has 4 landings, 0-4. As you can hear it is very noisy and has an awful voice, I don't envy the people with rooms next to this lift. The buttons on the original COP didn't seem to work very well. The floor indicator on the new COP had a slight delay over the original floor indicator.

hmmm why would you go up and down continuously - think about the guests..

[leethomas84]

I went up and down once on 2 seperate occasions (they were filmed 2 days apart), whilst I was a guest here. Hardly continuously. It was also mid afternoon both times, when people are less likely to be sleeping.

They really need to replace those outside buttons with emvbosed ones they aren't gopod at alkl for clarity.

I agree, they were really worn. On upper floors, the call buttons all had just an up arrow on them. As they have the new buttons installed inside the lift i'm suprised they didn't put new call buttons in as well. The original buttons are even worse, you can barely make out what most of them are for. Some of them require multiple presses to make them work.

The premier Inn near QE2 bridge east London has a solenoid door bell (a proper old style DING - DONG, it's not electronic speaker). I am due back there sometime, so I will film it.

That would be cool, just hope they haven't modernised it.!

It was only about 3 weeks ago, so it shouldn't have been. They were Stannah lifts
