RETRO-Themed Otis Newer Series 4 Gen2 Traction Elevators at Opal Sands Resort, Clearwater Beach, FL

Basic Newer Otis Gen2 System with Newer Otis fixtures, but despite that though, OF COURSE I'd take this over a KRAPNE Cheapodisc or a Thyssenkrapp Synergy ANYDAY and while these fixtures are quite Generic here in Central Florida, the VERY NICE RETRO Cabs that show what Clearwater Beach looked like back in the 1950s along with the FUNKY Carpet totally make up for it!!! Also, this place has nice VIEWS on the top floor of the Skylines of Clearwater and Clearwater Beach, and the hotel itself is fairly new and me and my friend did look around a little bit! This place looks like a 1980s Miami style building on the exterior, and on the inside, it has that retro 50s/60s beach resort vibe like the nearby Wyndham, but just like the Wyndham, it's pretty new and modern at the same time! Unlike the Wyndham, this place UNFORTUNATELY doesn't have a Lamborghini as their taxi, but with that being said, this place does look nice and I'd probably recommend it. With that all said, let's ride these!!

My Pops loved Otis elevators. Always said they were the best and safest. Back in his day elevators were notorious for slippage or missing floors. He always recognized Otis when we stayed at hotels. Classic... You would love Hotel Elliot in Boston. Small old fashioned lifts, wood paneling, all u’d need was the operator with u. Really cool...

[@FloridianElevators]

Awesome!!! That is really cool!!!

[@XsUndergrounD]

Wow that's a very nice elevator But I wish I would have color

[@ElevatorDude]

VERY NICE ELEVATORS!!!!! I like how all the floors are unlocked :)

Ride the ones at the Hyatt regency Clearwater

[@JimLiElevators]

I wished the ones at the Marriott Marquis in Downtown Houston had fully nicer cabs like these. Thankfully, the back cabs have some decor in it, but the side walls are all stainless steel which doesn't even belong on hotel elevators. Way too plain generic. Not these, I mean the one in Houston.

IT'S AN OTIS HYDROFIT TRACTION ELEVATOR

[@BCsVators]

Ok, if this elevator was Kone, here’s is what I would expect. 1. Running like an old man. 2. Poor and cheap quality material. 3. Can only last for like 5 years. 4. Ecodisc motor is WAYYY too loud. 5. Brakes are loud too.

[@FloridianElevators]

BC'sVators Yup!!! That is SOOOOO TRUE!

[@FloridianElevators]

Sounds like a KONE to me!!! Haha!

[@blueauraretriever]

Floridian Elevators I don't like kone too much either except for when the EcoDisc motor is in a motor room. We should start a #WEHATEKONE hashtag & a #WELOVEOTIS hashtag!

[@BCsVators]

HC EleFilms by Technicalboy3000 But I think wehateKone thing isn’t a really nice thing to too. What if Kone sees this?

[@FloridianElevators]

HC EleFilms by Technicalboy3000 LOL even most Machine Roomed Ecodiscs suck. The ones at the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac in Quebec still use the old machines rooms and they are junk!!! According to instagram and TripAdvisor they have already broken down a few times, and most of them aren't even a year old yet!!!
