Hotel Tour: Drury Plaza Hotel on the Riverwalk in San Antonio, TX.

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.

[@historiclift27]

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

[@anaveragecanadian5061]

JimLiElevators, Your videos are amazing

[@ARSchannel1517]

Yeah

[@williamakin1959]

I like how you are so considerate of everything and everyone around you. Great video thx for sharing

[@domo148900]

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!

[@JSouter1st]

Amazing video

[@raginipandey6894]

I❤️ the hotel u are saying Jim

[@brianhart7234]

I stay been staying there for every other week for 18 years love the place

[@bostonelevatorsaviation]

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

[@kylebroflofskissynthesizedroom]

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.

[@TheShaneBrothersElevators]

That’s a nice hotel when is check in and check out time

[@EthanJudeDTAN]

Hopefully you will reach 1 millions subs

[@user-ku4jw3ni2i]

That hotel was amazing I have been to San Antonio Texas and I never stepped foot in there.

[@ivanbuss8208]

I love these kind of hotels and by t the way I subscribed

[@NANA-jt4dq]

These hotel tours are fantastic I like a lot of the hotels Jim goes to most have good elevators

[@rayyansyedkhalid3678]

[@rayyansyedkhalid3678]

I agree keep up the good work

[@thatyeetguy_YT]

Hi Jim I remember when I was a kid I used to watch this is was my favorite I wish I could be in a vid with you

[@sharecare1]

This is a nice hotel and i like the brass doors on the elevator doors.

[@BeckettsElevatorAdventures]

I am glad they are Otis !

[@zyairgentel1807]

Cool

[@historiclift27]

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.

[@kaity9216]

historiclift27 same

[@liftsinireland]

Its so weird. Otis and Thyssenkrupp make not very good moden day lifts in Europe, but in America it's completely different. Great video btw!

[@osnelevatorosn5255]

Coooooooool elevator

[@user-km9kp8tk3n]

Jimlielevator i​ Love​ your​vids​:)​

[@theboy6475]

This hotel is awsome i want to go There as a vacation!

[@joeybobby3020]

I agree with you that boy

[@xedk]

I rember watching your and diesel ducys old videos and I love elevator enthusiasts including you!

[@thefuzyduck1169]

I like ya vidoes

[@MJK1965]

It was once a bank, and those were the remains of the old vault.

[@SpaceboyYT]

I have seen these kind but I never seen the green light up buttons or a green indicator

[@msg8578]

DieselDucy has filmed the elevators at grand hyatt

[@hunglongvlog8817]

love in you jim elevator otis elevator

[@everesthines2228]

Your vids are awesome keep filming those elevators!

[@dantx4545]

I was thinking the same thing Jim an elevator could have been added to that spiral staircase to the restaurant beautiful hotel

[@weatherman939]

iv'e been trying to get my family to here its my ultimate drury hotel , maybe next rear if i save up more points there's just $23.00 valet parking

[@elevatorman427]

That service elevator sure looks interesting. I sure wish it worked. Wonder why though it only served three floors? If it was a service elevator you would sure think it would serve the entire hotel.

[@jonathanmayse3353]

1:30 Otis lexan are the best elevators in the United States and I like Otis series 2

[@AlohaRobertTravelShow]

very good

[@yungjones1981]

I'll be staying here

[@TIKflixnation]

kinda wanna start hotel tours how the trick

[@thomashe2496]

very nice

[@7EndermanLMC29]

My room was 2207

[@letigonzalez914]

I love JimLiElevators videos maybe next time I can make videos :)

[@jonathanstarling1082]

Can I ask you why you don’t flim people?

[@JimLiElevators]

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.

[@baystateelevators5379]

Could you do a tour of the home2 suites? That's where I stayed

[@JimLiElevators]

When did you stay there, Colin?

[@historiclift27]

Did you look and enjoy the display cabinet under the stairs. It contains a lot of the original elevator fixtures. Including an old Otis hand crank

[@JimLiElevators]

No, I did not see that.

[@historiclift27]

You got a small part of it in your video when you avoided the people at the bottom there was one of the governors I think and then behind it was a giant old relay board

[@jasonwoodford8036]

I Would Like Take a Hotel Tour of That Hotel in Downtown San Antonio, TX

[@BeckettsElevatorAdventures]

I got a Otis logo circle today 11/14/18 6:07 pm

[@aq6737]

The lamp that did not turn on probably is on a switch by the entrance.I used to work in a hotel and thats the way it was set up.As a matter of fact I used to work at the Homewood Suites hotel just across the street!

[@cadencasarez9540]

Drury plaza hotel San Antonio TX Downtown San Antonio is a nice city

[@paulhernandez8867]

Nice hotel love historical skyscrapers but it looks like you didn't capture the entire skyline or views of the Tower Life building which is another San Antonio skyscraper built around that time.

[@kaity9216]

Is this hotel was used to be the bank building?

[@JimLiElevators]

I believe so. Not sure though.

[@acryingcloud3815]

JimLiElevators you are correct it is

[@sharecare1]

I like the guest laundry

[@aidenbaker7436]

The lock is digital so when you turn it it prevents the card reader from being used there is no phisical dedabolt

[@aidenbaker7436]

Thank you for the heart and I was wondering if we could meet because I love in Texas too

[@JimLiElevators]

No, sorry. Because I don't know you well, I will respectfully have to say no meetups. I apologize, but it's just a safety hazard for me. I do not meet with any random people who I do not know well.

[@aidenbaker7436]

@@JimLiElevators ok I understand but thank you for making awesome videos

[@tulizachatal7053]

I love you so much Drury hotel. Is my job

[@arko2271]

Maybe the passenger elevators got modernized and they left that button there.

[@JimLiElevators]

These were definitely modernized at one point.

[@elevatorsandsmokealarmswithESH]

That’s a shame that the Otis Lexan service elevator isn’t operational anymore but still if it were to be in service I wouldn’t ride it because it would be staff only.

[@johnsalazar3769]

How old is this hotel? It looks like a classic.

[@JimLiElevators]

I believe it’s like somewhere 80 to 90 years old.

[@tntbomb3629]

What actually happens if you travel back to 1904

[@JimLiElevators]

I would have seen plenty of old gated manually controlled elevators!

[@Mist_Monster_Stw]

Thats one big drury hotel

[@courtneymcdaniel3308]

Why do the elevators skip the 13 floor?

[@JimLiElevators]

It’s superstitious.

[@courtneymcdaniel3308]

JimLiElevators oh ok thx

[@shakershahab3149]

At my country has 13 floor

[@CeasePlayz]

It’s okay to make mistakes 1:11

[@cornyful]

Why is the service elevator doesn't work

[@JimLiElevators]

decommissioned I believe. Also, that elevator only serves three floors.

[@LifeofHumphreyPlays]

@@JimLiElevators craziest thing is this video was posted 6 years ago, so the service elevator might be working right now, or you went to this hotel this year or last year and it still wasn’t working?

[@matthewb2918]

Why are you trying to talk over the music? 5:17

[@JimLiElevators]

Because KZbin gives us a copyright notice and depending on what music is in our videos, KZbin could also partially blocked it in certain countries.

[@matthewb2918]

You mean copyright notification right?

[@JimLiElevators]

Yes.

[@anyaconley1082]

No 13 floor? Superstitious huh?
