Hotel Tour: Ramada Inn (formerly Hampton Inn) in West Memphis, AR.

Filmed on March 12, 2016: This used to have an open-out corridor until they have completely renovated the whole property I believe about at least a year or 2. Hope you guys enjoy this tour of this wonderful motel featuring a broken Schindler "330-YAY" elevator!

This motel is very interesting. My favorite is the part of how the hallway is closed in with doors so often on ground floor for easy access to outside. lf I ever come through there again, maybe I'll stay there. I been through the area before heading into Memphis before. Also, hopefully the elevator is fixed by now.

Very Interesting renovation thus property has

[@danielleharrison5765]

That is sad because the elevator is my favorite part of the hotel tours including the swimming pool

[@lilhusain]

i remember watching these videos

[@user-gz8vg3km1x]

Reminds me of the apartment

[@jdtheredteen2008]

I remember staying at a Days inn in West Memphis in 2014

[@mrbx359]

This hotel had major renovations.

[@mrbx359]

There’s some Hampton Inn Equipment remaining

3:20 I noticed that when you mentioned that people are coming you don’t want to get them on camera. It’s actually legal to record in public places. You just can’t record people in their hotel rooms or their houses or in the bathrooms. But you make great hotel tours

Wow! The rain sounded big! Nice dream video though!

The quality of the elevator has NOTHING to do with what is going on here! It is the quality of the people that own it. and neglect it obviously. A 330A is not a bad elevator. Also this is DEFINITELY a former hampton inn. One that probably lost its franchise hence why they went with Ramada which has very low standards.

[@JimLiElevators]

Schindler 330A's are decent nowadays. I clearly can tell this was a Hampton property.

[@ogre071]

DieselDucy I Think You Film The Best Elevator

[@gamerboy65cjttz45]

I'm in Ramada hotel right now

[@chrislemaster2695]

I worked at a Hampton Inn for three years and I bet these owners lost the Hilton Flag and franchise due to three failed inspections done by Hilton Hotels which is owned by Blackstone Group LLC

[@user-ge8rx4jl6f]

@@JimLiElevators on the map of the hotel there is another elevator

[@gy1952]

WOw I have never seen a ramada hotel that are indoors before.

[@gladfan1989]

The Ramada in Portland, OR is all indoor. I did a room tour there, check it out.

[@traincentral1940]

I am just curious, but what is your least favorite elevator brand? Mine is Schindler MT by the way.

[@JimLiElevators]

Schindler 300A's, 321A's, and probably 330A's. Schindler RT's are a lot worse!

[@ChristianKEF7472]

0:18 I think it's Stanley automatic doors

[@northeast_rail9606]

good thinking, jim

[@JoshCraver9000]

Looks like it was formerly a Hampton Inn.

[@JimLiElevators]

+JoshCraver9000 Obviously, it was 'cause I saw the "welcome to west memphis" logo on the front desk.

[@CDNSpartan]

When I was staying in a hotel when I got there the elevator was running fine. When I Eat to go out it was fine came back stuck in the pit. Next day it was working again

[@Anatole2201]

I rarely find bad Schindler hydros. I only know of three bad ones so far...

[@JimLiElevators]

Mostly are Schindler 330A's with HT that ran perfectly well. Schindler 300A's are horrible than 330A's. Been on tons of bad Schindler 300A's with MT/RT fixtures.

[@Arnobshikderbb6270]

It looks good but this hotel is also nice and their is a bathroom problem it takes the toilet to suck it self in and I seen when you flush the toilet the water goes up and it spins and goes down but their maybe problems into the toilet pipe , and the light needs some repair. Btw I love your video it’s the best ❤

[@davidthehondaenthusiast]

Amazing video as always! I'm honestly not surprised that the Schindler HT is broken XD Anyways the toilet is pretty fascinating just because it drains into the lower section of the wall opposed to just into the floor like most. The reason it has a "slow flush" is because it is designed to use 3.5 gallons of water opposed to the regular 1.28 and 1.6 gallon toilets to today's standards. However the 3.5 gallon toilets flush better and are far harder to clog than the new ones. If the EPA wouldn't have jacked up the water law with toilets, then we wouldn't have to get the plunger every time a toilet clogs and the only reason they do clog easily nowadays is they aren't designed to use a decent amount of water. Anyways most of everyone up here probably wasn't interested in what I said, but just in case anyone up here wanted to learn something about what they use on a daily basis, then that whole paragraph was for you.

[@metronorthrailfan2244]

2:10 Isn’t that an ADA violation? I’m sure by now they fixed it but they probably failed an inspection

[@FloridianElevators]

I see this hotel has another elevator. Does it work?

[@JimLiElevators]

+Floridian Elevators No I did not see it.

[@jacobahejew6344]

And it used to be a Hampton Inn

Ramada inn is made by Whyham resorts

[@ThatkidTheo]

I live in West Memphis you should go to the pyramid in Memphis Tennessee the Bass Pro pyramid with the tall freestanding elevator my grandpa helped build that place

[@JimLiElevators]

I’d LOVE to check that place out!!!!!

[@ElevatingDenver]

Ain't that just a lovely elevator? Schindler is the worst manufacturer of hydraulic elevators.

[@ElevatingDenver]

Not surprising. Schindler hydraulics are slow in all ways.
