While exploring buildings and riding elevators, modernizations aren't what I usually like to see. However, Otis did a gorgeous job here. The cabs look amazing and they run very nicely. http://www.theelevatorchannel.net

This DoubleTree appears to have been recently renovated and looked quite nice, but the building dates back to the 1960s. A local company called Eastern modded the elevators probably 10-15 years ago. They still run quite nicely. I'm not sure how the implemen...

The MEI at my local Target got modernized... by MEI. I don't think there was anything particularly wrong with the elevator before. To my understanding, Target just does this on roughly a 20 year cycle to keep everything running smoothly. http://www.theeleva...

Istobal M'Wash Pro - Bob's Car Wash North, Fulton MO

I've walked some questionable hotels in my many years of filming elevators, but this place... wow. The air inside was so thick and musty that we were both practically gasping for air by the time we got back outside. Whole building looked like it was falling...

Here's a few more elevators in the Westin Lagunamar complex. I struck out a bit here. I started in building 14, but one car was down for maintenance and the other was very busy as a result. I then went over to building 11 to check out a few more, but strang...
