Filmed on January 28, 2017: I haven't been doing hotel tours in a long time! So I figure why I upload one right now. Enjoy a tour of the historic hotel from 1929. The elevators here were installed in the late 60s. The service elevator with the Otis Lexan is not operational anymore, and it only serves three floors. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this.

I am staying here again in about a month. Haven’t had a vacation in a long time very excited. These elevators were amazing I look forward to riding them again! Also the middle ones with 2 speed interior doors were some of my favorites

I stayed here last week and it was absolutely amazing. Breakfast and Kick back is now included in your stay. The Bar there “Tellers Bar” is awesome! The basement with Riverwalk access feels so prestigious. Great stay!

Wow, JimLiElevators! This hotel feels like you're spending 5 nights at Izzy's! Great video! And, I also like the view of this hotel as well as the San Antonio skyline and the hotel's swimming pool! The San Antonio skyline is like a groundbreaking mix of Las Vegas, New York City, & my homestate Wyoming.

The deadbolt is one of those automatic deadbolts that activate when you close the door, that knob just turns on the privacy feature so nobody can put the key in and come in

This is also a very reasonable hotel for the riverwalk. A lot of fun to stay in. I stayed in the new building which had a viewing deck on the roof and the indoor pool.

@JimLiElevators 9 ай бұрын

It’s because people may not feel comfortable being on camera, nor do they like their faces to be shown, especially indoors. Many places have asked me not to film people and I 100% cannot defy that rule. Otherwise, I may be in big trouble.
