Country Club Hotel Update - June 2019

This one goes out to my long-time viewers who have been following the status of this property for years. After my last visit here I had little confidence it would ever re-open, but it seems the new owners pulled it off! The property is open for business under the Regalia name as of this summer, but there's still ongoing construction and much to be done. Looks like the end result will be beautiful though.

Damn, that new motor in the fitness center car is AWESOME! Good thing 3 was open so it could be heard going all the way up.

[@DylanR99]

Yep. And at 8:39 , I can see why the 3rd floor was closed off before the update done to the hotel. Just leading right to a staircase and the elevator led to in the middle of the staircase.

[@idl3k_elev]

Kudos to whoever took over this property and renovated it. I'm surprised they didn't replace or modernize the Dover elevators and the infamous fitness center elevator.....*IT'S STILL ALIVE* I can't believe it lol! Hopefully they will refurbish the cab of the fitness center elevator when they've done fixing the pool.

[@NathanDavisVideos]

It's hard to believe THIS was the place that started it all for you; a little more than a decade ago!

[@TXMNElevators]

WOW! Whoever is in charge of this did an amazing job! Its pretty funny that they left the pool elevator alone though.. :)

[@DylanR99]

Yep. Other than that, why though? I thought they would’ve modernized this thing by now. And the 3rd floor being unlocked makes me in total shock, because really, what was there on the 3rd floor before the new owners decided to do work on this property?

[@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433]

Glad to see that they kept the Famous Dover Impulse! It's kinda funny too lol.

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

Oh I remember the old beat up Dover’s. But these are nice and new! Well done, Country Club!

[@FloridianElevators]

The renovations to the place look amazing!!!! The place looked so awful, and now it looks SO amazing!!!! It does still need a bit of work here and there, but overall, they've done such a good job fixing the place up that this will be the place to be once again. I also love the new cabs on the main elevators as well!!! That horrible Dover that had been falling apart though, while it has improved in terms of the COP and floor, that thing honestly needs a new cab. Great video!!!! I can't believe I've now been watching your videos and videos of this place for 10 YEARS now!!!! Glad to see this place is finally getting new life!!

[@isaac24]

I can’t believe they didn’t even touch the fitness center elevator😂😂 Honestly, I hope they don’t fix it:) Anyway, the hotel looks actually livable. That’s insane how different and nice it is!

[@michelinman8592]

Thanks for sharing an update! Seriously, the fitness elevator though... that's just comic relief at this point.

[@SamSitar]

that's a HUGE resort upgrade. keeping those elevators would be nice.

[@mackpines]

That pool will be a great draw. Nice to see a place going from old and falling apart to new and remodeled. Except for that notorious elevator. And, it's still challenging to play tennis:)

[@davidng2336]

I can’t believe the fitness elevator barely changed. But the improvements were needed and I hope this plays stays longer!

[@JoshCraver9000]

What a transformation, it's so nice now!!

[@NathanDavisVideos]

6:36 Ahh yeah... The infamous Dover at the (now former) Country Club Hotel! EVERYBODY'S' FAVORITE! 😂

[@georgef551]

Wow, it does look a LOT better now! Hopefully they'll get the clientele to keep it afloat.

[@michianaelevators2582]

It’s great to see the famous Dover elevator again!

[@concert_etiquette]

Awesome! Will you ever get a room here and to a hotel review?

[@filmer765]

I knew that an update like this would come along, and I knew how crummy the place was back then, but now, it looks fantastic! I've also noticed some more work left to do, but they've done a good job fixing the place up so far. The main elevators look better too. "Well, they replaced the floor!" Well, that horrible Dover needs a new cab, and an improved floor and COP is not enough. Overall, I'm curious what this place will look like when it's 100% fully renovated.

[@gladfan1989]

Very very nice. You so have to do a room tour once this place is fully operational.

[@seanjuth]

In my opinion this needs to be owned by hilton. Then major progress would be made

[@TheSupercrazyman11]

I never thought I would see this place again! I wonder how much that new A/C costs alone...

[@ElevatorsInternational]

WOW, this Hotel looks SO MUCH BETTER! Compared to many years ago of neglect/lack of care. (I grew up watching these elevators on KZbin in the early 2010s!) My question is about the Fitness Center elevator, why is the cab still the plain beat up white color!? I know there’s more work to be done to this property, but still. You would expect an improvement on that elevator. The continuous chiming is amusing to me, ha ha! The elevators at the Sheraton (Former Wyndham) in Lisle, Illinois has Dover Impulse Tractions from 1985 that function the same way, lol! (But some Dover chimes were switched with loud Epco bells.)

[@emmareporter4324]

damn that is such an amazing transformation

[@APR2kNSP1]

I think they also replaced the motor too on the crappy Dover one. They also added TKE logo

[@itskingboy189]

Finally they fixed the indicator. The indicator has been in poor since 2009

[@Mrtraveler01]

You'll have to check out Tan-Tar-A...I mean...Margaritaville resort next.

[@misterhat5823]

Three's unlocked. Let's not look at anything though.

[@TruckEnthusiastYT]

I like the new building!

[@logankojetin3606]

OMG I’ve been waiting for this!!!! AHHHH IM SO EXCITED

[@Ovator]

I remember when there were toilets inside the doors

[@deadrat4508]

Funny, I remember too

[@TransitAndTeslas]

That DOVER!! That Dover won’t ever get updated lol!

[@carselevators930]

Good ol Dover Elevators

[@maaviationtrainselevators8787]

It looks like Lava Springs from High School Musical 2

[@crownking3752]

did he ever do a review of this hotel and the rooms

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

That fitness elevator is just a joke at this point

[@TransitAndTeslas]

They had to keep something part of their history LOL!

[@thejackdrees]

"Well, they replaced the floor!" XD

[@SixSilverStones]

I am so glad they didn't modernize the elevators

[@thetravelchannel7671]

Great video when did this place open?

[@EWPA14]

This year.

[@jacobs956]

I thought the elevators were going to be modded. When I saw the main elevators original, I knew the fitness center elevator had to be original too. I was honestly hoping to see the floor indicator destroyed again. LOL

[@AndrewBenderVlogs]

The hotel got some bad reviews, so they had to closed the hotel for about a year. Then they added some new features to the hotel which they are not that bad. They also remodeled the hotel from the neglected things that were very dirty and they finally pulled this off. I would agree that they invested a lot of money for this place to be remodeled as well!!!!

[@EWPA14]

It was more like 4-5 years.

[@BNSF4475]

On The Pool Elevator I Think ThyssenKrupp Replaced The Motor Because It Sounds Like A TAC20.

[@adamb6271]

Did the pool elevator get a new motor?

[@EWPA14]

It definitely sounds like it did.

[@Nasiens1999]

Its now have an EPIC MOTOR.

[@EWPA14]

Yeah that’s true. It sounds like a thyssenkrupp motor.

[@GardenStateElevators]

Adam B Yes, it used to have a C-Pitched dry powered motor. Now it has what sounds like Canton Pump ThyssenKrupp Pump. The pool elevator is probably I’m the original part of the hotel from the 1980's. And the bank of two Dovers serving all four floors were installed in 1998.

[@minnesotacoasterenthusiast6655]

Where is this place

[@EWPA14]

Lake Ozark, MO I think.

[@BrokebackBob]

Those doors need major lubrication. The floor chirp is HORRIBLE.

[@Elevatorelectricgate]

The fitness center elevator doesn't beep anymore.

[@logankojetin3606]

What’s on floor 3 off the fitness center elevator? It just opens up into a stair well?

[@954aviation]

probably an emergency stairwell, but it looks like thyssenkrupp hasn't finished modding it yet as they probably are going to redo the cab and get the 3rd floor locked.

[@logankojetin3606]

DRDOG101 but why would they make an elevator open up into a stairwell

[@954aviation]

@@logankojetin3606 its them who planned the building, and again it could be for emergencys anyways.

[@Nasiens1999]

That is pretty weird.

[@logankojetin3606]

DRDOG101 it just makes zero sense

[@corrier4532]

I Wish You Did A Hotel Tour About This Redone Hotel😪

[@BrokebackBob]

On a taste meter from 1 to 10 it's a 4.

[@QuarioQuario54321]

Next thing you know, they mod it
