Country Club Hotel Update - June 2017

  • Wow... I started off my channel by shooting elevator videos at this hotel on July 4th, 2008. That's 9 YEARS ago today. Time really flies. I used to have a yearly tradition of re-riding my first elevators every year on my channel's anniversary, but as the hotel continued to decline I received lots of requests to tour it. Which I did. But the tradition came to a halt in 2015 when the hotel quietly closed its doors. At the time it was slated to reopen in 2016, but that didn't happen. Now in 2017, there's still some signs of work being done, but the fact we're so far past the original date made me fear that the company renovating the hotel ran out of money. However, I talked to several condo owners in the surrounding complex after shooting this video and they told me there's still work being done. The hotel is completely gutted so there's a long way to go, but it's reassuring that work hasn't stopped.
    I wish them the best. Back when my family used to stay in the actual hotel (before we switched and started renting condos around 2006-7), this was the nicest place in the area. Always packed with a thriving restaurant and live music on the weekends. It was a beautiful property, but it fell so far in the last few years that it was almost unrecognizable. I'm so excited that it might be turning around, but at the same time I'm nervous that it's taking so long. I really hope they make it. I can't find any solid info on what's happening here so your guess is as good as mine.
    The website is still up and makes no mention of the closure. If you look at Facebook reviews, some people were making reservations on 3rd party sites only to show up and find the hotel closed!

    That's too bad. Looks like it was a nice place. Thanks for filming it.

    Looks like the gutting is more to demolish the building, not to bring it back. That's typical when the backhoe comes to take down the rest.

      Possible, but I don't think the gut would be done this carefully if they were getting ready to demo. To me it looks like they planned a complete gut-out renovation and the project stalled. Otherwise there would have been no reason to do things like place new toilets in the rooms, or repaint (primer) the walls.

    Wow, you know, I was going to say before that I was waiting for the day that Anthony(Malcurrie) was going to show up here. I guess that's not going to happen in the near future. I wonder what the owners of this place are like...

    • @TheElevatorChannel
      @TheElevatorChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      He would have had a field day here right before it closed in 2015. Didn't look much better than it does now. If you read the TripAdvisor reviews, the hotel didn't even have hot water for the last few months.

    • @TheElevatorPlanet
      @TheElevatorPlanet 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's interesting because their sight says that they're "still open to the public", even while they're renovating. [www.countryclubhotel.com/index.asp]. I guess they haven't updated the sight in quite a while, lol...

    The hotel kind of seems pointless. Your family stays in the condos, which are probably more family oriented and cheaper over the long run. I am no expert on the area, but I am sure that most of the people that go to the Lake of The Ozarks go year after year and have found out about the condos. What would do this place good is to either convert it to apartments or condos. That way they can be rented out the same way that the other condos are, and they have the luxury of being housed in an indoor facility (no exterior corridors). It is a big long shot when or if the hotel will open soon, but when/if it does, I can't wait to see how it comes out.

    • @TheElevatorChannel
      @TheElevatorChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The only way I see it being a viable business is if they turn that giant indoor tennis facility into a proper convention center. The previous owners tried this but (surprise surprise) didn't make the proper investment to really make it work. The state capital is right up the road and lots of agencies do meetings and functions in the Lake Ozark area. My dad's company does lots of contracting for the DOT and they have bi-yearly meetings at a hotel actually right down the road from this one.

      The Elevator Channel 1. Could that hotel have a chance of demolition
      2. About your last car wash video, you never updated the playlist

    And do you know exactly who is renovating the hotel?

  • @ElloGunva
    @ElloGunva 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I wonder if it has mold issues that have delayed renovation and are making it more likely it'll be demolished?

  • @Gosh_Josh

  • @JoshCraver9000

    • @disneyfan9099

      JoshCraver9000 Yeah no

    • @JoshCraver9000
      @JoshCraver9000 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They'll most likely demolish it and build more condos in its place.
