I ABSOLUTELY love this century-old hotel in downtown Lexington! This hotel's about to celebrate its hundredth anniversary!

[@averyclarkson9587]

MY GOD!!!! The sink is just exactly what we had in 2 Carrer del Pont Vell in Tossa de Mar!

[@TheElevatorChannel]

What an amazing transformation. I wouldn't have even noticed it was the same "Robert E Lee Building" you featured years ago.

I remember your videos back when this place was a run down office building. I think overall they did a nice job with the renovations and made their smaller rooms work well. It seems they have since rebranded to The Gin Hotel as part of Choice Hotel's Ascend Collection though otherwise the rooms are pretty similar, if anything it probably put them more on the map. I'm not sure putting residential units on top was the best idea, as the hotel likely could have sold those as higher end mini suites for weddings and other events like that, though that is a fairly minor gripe and overall this is really nice.

[@DieselDucy]

It has changed hands a few times now.

[@Ih8kone]

Can you do an update on this place at some point?

wow that is a nice hotel. even before they changed the lobby it was nice. current lobby is beautiful i agree with that one. historic hotels that are still standing & used today are awesome. is that close to I-95?

[@bsbs2652]

Not close to I-95, you probably meant I-85, it is close to I-85 and I-64

[@TrevorBerridge]

I don't even recognize this place! Your hotel reviews are awesome!

[@OntariosElevatorssince2013]

It is a crying shame to see the that the elevators are getting Innovated. I wish they would have used the Premier buttons instead of Universal. The cab has been beautifully redone, and still has it's historic charm.

[@blueauraretriever]

+Jeromee Porter I personally love the mod.

[@DieselDucy]

+technicalboy “techgeek5000” 3000 it is a nice mod.

[@blueauraretriever]

***** yep. At least OTIS wasn't the ones that got their hands on the elevators this time. and BTW epic fire alarms in the units above the hotel.

[@Gosh_Josh]

It could be worse

[@OntariosElevatorssince2013]

***** That's very true.

[@JoeyC370]

Nice editing on this video.

[@CenTexElevators489]

Very nice restoration of the hotel, and very nice elevators, but why did they go with Innovation? I honestly think CJ Anderson Classic Antique fixtures would have been a much better option.

[@MeaghanEdwards]

Nice place. Like with American Trains & Elevators I too would be curious about what changes they brought to the place since it's changed hands. On one hand itis modern, on another it's almost too modern (I think a slightly more historic look would be more fitting for the area); lovely huge bathroom but not sure if I care for the shower head. Like with Anatole2201 I'm not sure about the idea of putting residential units ontop either.

Do hotels support you filming their rooms?

Whenever you film a video you get money from the views so you probably gives them the money

[@22408aaron]

I love some of the comments here. Most of your fans are starting to sound like David. I wonder where he is to give his opinion on modernization.

[@LiftEnthusiast2020OFFTOPIC]

I'm Thinking They Could Keep The Other Elevator Original But They'll Probably Change The Cab Unless It's Being Used As A Service Elevator

[@EWPA14]

They modded it. They just painted the cab.

Well, we still have the clock tower in Baltimore with the 1911 manually controlled Otis. Still gotta get there though!

[@exoticcar5482]

filmer765 the best way to do that one is to go on the final tour shift so after the tour you can ask for the operator to take you on a round trip on it

[@Ih8kone]

@@exoticcar5482 Honestly these things needed it. The Dover was in somewhat bad shape. Don't you remember Andrew saying "Ugh it stinks in here! It smells like a urinal!"

Awesome! Was the building always a hotel? Because I thought it turned into a hotel just this year. Awesome how they preserved history by keeping the right 1 original! I wonder how you call it? It just looks like they added new doors to it. Never knew there was a Salem in that building.

Yes it was.

@@wwood-ct7yn Actually yes it was

[@elevatorsbyliftfilmer1247]

@@Ih8kone I don't think it was always a hotel. When it was the Robert E. Lee Building, the front desk wasn't there, and the layout was different. They didn't have the complimentary breakfast, and there was a lot of other things the Hotel has that the Building didn't.

[@nickhill8612]

@@elevatorsbyliftfilmer1247 You're right it wasn't always a hotel. It was apartments for disable and people on section 8. People were kicked out so the rich could get richer.
