Ok, first of all, I have no clue who to blame here.... Otis for installing a cheap Gen2 system that isn't designed for such heavy traffic, or Wyndham for not maintaining these right..... I'll let you be the judge here.... But what I can say is most Gen2s I've seen run just fine, and most Wyndham properties I've stayed at have well maintained elevators, so that is why I have no clue who to blame here....
Anyways, about these elevators, as you can see, upon getting to these, I was welcomed with the right elevator MALFUNCTIONING and Parked on the First Floor!!!! But the left elevator was working and I called and rode it.... And as you can see, 2 elevators, now with 1 broken CLEARLY isn't enough for a building with 15 FLOORS!!!! Now, as you can see, the right elevator was being reset while this was taken, and when I eventually got back down, the doors on it were shut.... I have NO CLUE if the left elevator which was working, I have no clue if the issue it had had anything to do with the other elevator being reset, but as the guy got on with me and was talking, the left elevator JOLTED hard, and shook, and then opened up on 9 saying "Please use next elevator" and "We are experiencing MINOR technical difficulties"!!!! Like I said, idk if it was the elevator itself having problems, or if this had to do with them resetting the other car, but this did scare me a bit LOL!!!! I wasn't sure if I should take it back down after getting off on 9, but because I'm such a daredevil, and I knew nothing too bad would happen and I had a phone with me unlike the Gatlinburg incident, if I did get stuck, I knew I'd survive. And thankfully, I DID make it off, but as you see this was quite the adventure!!!! I'm very thankful I got this on video!!!
But to the Wyndham Ocean Boulevard and Otis, y'all need to FIX YOUR ELEVATORS!!!! (Hopefully they're fixed by now since this was taken in March)
For those wondering where this happened at, this was at Tower 1 at the Wyndham Ocean Boulevard in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
With that all being said, I hope you enjoy this video, a LOT more than I enjoyed recording it!!!!
The elevators were installed in 2007-2008.
Well, it’s Myrtle Beach, place where there’s a lot of not so great elevators.
The Sea Crest Resort has very bad elevators. One of the kept breaking and the door close button doesn't work on any of them through the entire place
1:01 you can hear the other elevator reset
4:09 Please take the next elevator, We are experiencing: Minor Technical Difficulties
2 elevators for 16 stories? Not enough.
What about 3 elevators but 22 floors
Sadly it's way too common in MB.
@@FabianFoxandFalco2004 try 3 for 24, which is just as bad (and they broke constantly!)
Well i was once in a hotel in hungary qhere they had 1 very slow elevator for 10 floors with constant traffic.
@@albanyweather7947 try only 1 elevator for an 11 floor parking garage
The fact that the guy kept talking the whole time this happened-
3:52 I bet that was when they reset it... wow
You would have thought they would have thought about people on the elevators!
"minor" yeah sure otis let's go with that
Yep you cant press the button that *calls* the elevator to the floor you are on
I wonder if it’s from the humidity from being outside
I'm very late, but these are not Gen2s. None of the four towers have Gen2s. Towers 1 and 2 have custom Elevonic 411s, with the full standard fixtures suite. they travel at 400/500 FPM respectively. Tower 4 also has true elevonic 411s, that also go 400 FPM. tower 3's SPFs go 350 FPM.
Minor technical difficulties
When elevators malfunction.
I’d honestly say the place is to blame. But, Series 5’s are known to be cheaply installed, so I’d say both the building and (minorly partially) the elevators themselves. I’ve ridden Series 4 gen2’s that are heavily busy and they run very well and rarely break down!
i stayed in a condo in Panama City almost 12 years ago that were series 4 with green indicators 3 ELEVATORS FOR 23 FLOORS ON 4th OF JULY WEEK
the Condo was Celadon Beach Resort
these are elevonic 411s, not gen2s. so say about them what you will, the gen2s in myrtle beach are ironically more reliable than most other models installed here, and usually run much smoother.
I doubt this is Otis’s fault. Gen2s can go a maximum of 22-25 floors I believe so I doubt it’s because they’re Gen2. This could be the Hotel for not maintaining them properly. Or it’s possible that the power could have dipped a few times that day and made the elevators stall for a couple of seconds or the controllers probably had a few dips. I’m not positive about that tho so don’t quote me.
Well, but Gen2 isn't exactly the greatest quality, but that said, it is BY FAR the most reliable MRL I've been on. I would assume this is likely the hotels' fault too, but like I said, I'm not sure. Especially since this is one of the best ranked hotels in Myrtle Beach....
gen2s go 300ft max. but that's irrelevant since these are elevonic 411s, not gen2s. i rode them across two consecutive days. these travel 400fpm and do not act/run at all like gen2s
You should've heard that guy in the other elevator that malfunctioned.
2nd of all, WHY are there only 2 elevators for 16 floors??? That’s pretty poor elevator service to begin with
lol the only tower here that has decent spec is tower 2, with three elevators traveling 500 FPM. tower 3 is the worst, since those are two thyssenkrupp SPF elevators traveling at 350 FPM, rather than 400FPM like the ones in the video do.
didn't realize how lucky i have it at the mar vista grande with four 350FPM Gen2s for 15 floors
3:49this is where it goes down
You should go to Boulineau's Foods Plus next time you are in North Myrtle Beach. They have two Otis Series 1 Elevators.
I’ve stayed at pepper tree ocean club so many times
3:50 Some of the buttons light up and cancel P1 and 2.
After that Jolt you should take the Stairs to First Floor
I probably should've, but I really didn't want to 9 stories high up LMAO....
@@FloridianElevators 3:50 was that left elevator even freefalling?
“Please take the next elevator”
Me: “THERE IS NO NEXT ELEVATOR-“
On the bright side, the elevator didn’t get stuck between floors, took you to the nearest floor and let you and the fellow passenger get out
Maybe the power was out and they were in emergency power.
As Matt from GPGBDAF would say, they’re completely 100% anti-scenic!
Wyndham has always been hit or miss for me. Sometimes their hotels are ok, and sometimes they are trash.
So sorry a rude person was with you they should have been forced to leave
Otis could definitely maintain these elevators a lot better especially in a busy hotel like this
I'm actually thinking this is the hotel's fault.... There is another building here with Thyssenkrupp and they are just as bad as these...
@@FloridianElevators what was the cause of the other? Elevator to bump like that?
@@FloridianElevators was that bumping caused by released breaks?
Otis Series 5s (or actually Series 6, since Evan found an Otis Series 5 installed in 2004 with what many people would mistaken as Series 6 but is actually an older Series 5) are cheap-a** POSes! That was during -- what I would like to call -- Otis' "S**t period" where their elevators were cheaply made (as well as most of which were made in Mexico) and it happens to also been during the Great Recession, so yeah...
Series 5 is indeed called Series 5 according to the UNITEC Websites, and actually, I believe both Series "6" and 5 were made during the same time as I have seen some from 2010-2011 but "6" was rarely purchased for some weird reason....
Could it be the wind? 16-floor buildings can sway a bit.
It couldn’t be the wind. The second car on P1 was reset. That involved the car that Floridan elevators was on as they are in 1 bank. Both of these run on one controller
@@PFElevators unless elevators in North America use weird control systems, my understanding is that there would be one controller per elevator, and the controllers have some sort of communication between them
The elevators at a college i went to a while ago nearly always had one of the two out of service, and i even saw them reboot one of them, which didn’t affect the other elevator
a weekly comprehensive maintenance program will do the trick
Yes, but of course nobody wants to do that LOL
@@FloridianElevators would *bi-weekly* sound better?
@@blueauraretriever LOL that would be even worse for just about anyone LMAO
16 floors? I see 15 floors on the buttonst
Are there "maybe" service elevators in this building that you could take instead, or are these the ONLY elevators in the whole entire building?
They're the only elevators in the ENTIRE Building.... Most hotels in Myrtle Beach don't have service elevators....
@@FloridianElevators I had a feeling they were...
It's a gen2, what were you expecting.
it's not a gen2, it's an elevonic 411 that travels 400FPM. 400fpm is not in gen2 spec, and these do not run or act like gen2s. the overslung gen2s in this area run better than many MR tractions from otis, schindler, and TK
These elevators are from like 2014 they shouldn't be malfunctioning
They're definitely older.
They're from 2008
@@FloridianElevators oh ok
I think that there should be more elevators around the building! Do you agree?
Obviously.
@@FloridianElevators duh
Floridian Elevators they should at least have a bank of 4 elevators.
I love your vids ❤️
Where is 13?
I'm afraid my dear that 13 is not present
There is no floor 13 because during the late 1890's, when elevators were slowly becoming popular, there was a superstitious belief that the number 13 was extremely unlucky
Why is there a star on P1 and a star on 1?
I think its cause p1 is the main floor of the garage and the 1st floor is the lobby of the hotel
Those do not work well at all
Gen2, as reliable as always…
they're not gen2, they're elevonic 411, and they travel at 400FPM. they would be smoother and higher quality if they were actually overslung gen2s. kinda unfortunate
