Hotel Tour: Drury Plaza Hotel on the Riverwalk in San Antonio, TX.
Filmed on January 28, 2017: I haven't been doing hotel tours in a long time! So I figure why I upload one right now. Enjoy a tour of the historic hotel from 1929. The elevators here were installed in the late 60s. The service elevator with the Otis Lexan is not operational anymore, and it only serves three floors. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this.

i used to watch you 3 years ago, when i was still in my kid era. decided to come back man you are amazing
I am staying here again in about a month. Haven’t had a vacation in a long time very excited. These elevators were amazing I look forward to riding them again! Also the middle ones with 2 speed interior doors were some of my favorites
JimLiElevators, Your videos are amazing

Yeah
I stayed here last week and it was absolutely amazing. Breakfast and Kick back is now included in your stay. The Bar there “Tellers Bar” is awesome! The basement with Riverwalk access feels so prestigious. Great stay!
Amazing video
The deadbolt is one of those automatic deadbolts that activate when you close the door, that knob just turns on the privacy feature so nobody can put the key in and come in
Wow, JimLiElevators! This hotel feels like you're spending 5 nights at Izzy's! Great video! And, I also like the view of this hotel as well as the San Antonio skyline and the hotel's swimming pool! The San Antonio skyline is like a groundbreaking mix of Las Vegas, New York City, & my homestate Wyoming.
I like how you are so considerate of everything and everyone around you. Great video thx for sharing
I❤️ the hotel u are saying Jim
That’s a nice hotel when is check in and check out time
I stay been staying there for every other week for 18 years love the place
That hotel was amazing I have been to San Antonio Texas and I never stepped foot in there.

Hi Jim I remember when I was a kid I used to watch this is was my favorite I wish I could be in a vid with you
These hotel tours are fantastic I like a lot of the hotels Jim goes to most have good elevators
Hopefully you will reach 1 millions subs
This is also a very reasonable hotel for the riverwalk. A lot of fun to stay in. I stayed in the new building which had a viewing deck on the roof and the indoor pool.

This is a nice hotel and i like the brass doors on the elevator doors.
Cool
Jimlielevator i Love yourvids:)
I rember watching your and diesel ducys old videos and I love elevator enthusiasts including you!
Its so weird. Otis and Thyssenkrupp make not very good moden day lifts in Europe, but in America it's completely different. Great video btw!
Coooooooool elevator
very nice
DieselDucy has filmed the elevators at grand hyatt
It was once a bank, and those were the remains of the old vault.
I like ya vidoes
Your vids are awesome keep filming those elevators!
That service elevator sure looks interesting. I sure wish it worked. Wonder why though it only served three floors? If it was a service elevator you would sure think it would serve the entire hotel.
1:30 Otis lexan are the best elevators in the United States and I like Otis series 2
I was thinking the same thing Jim an elevator could have been added to that spiral staircase to the restaurant beautiful hotel
This hotel is awsome i want to go There as a vacation!

I Would Like Take a Hotel Tour of That Hotel in Downtown San Antonio, TX
I'll be staying here
My room was 2207
I love JimLiElevators videos maybe next time I can make videos :)
I have seen these kind but I never seen the green light up buttons or a green indicator
Maybe the passenger elevators got modernized and they left that button there.

Did you look and enjoy the display cabinet under the stairs. It contains a lot of the original elevator fixtures. Including an old Otis hand crank

Nice hotel love historical skyscrapers but it looks like you didn't capture the entire skyline or views of the Tower Life building which is another San Antonio skyscraper built around that time.
I like the guest laundry
Like if u been there
The lamp that did not turn on probably is on a switch by the entrance.I used to work in a hotel and thats the way it was set up.As a matter of fact I used to work at the Homewood Suites hotel just across the street!

Can I ask you why you don’t flim people?

It’s because people may not feel comfortable being on camera, nor do they like their faces to be shown, especially indoors. Many places have asked me not to film people and I 100% cannot defy that rule. Otherwise, I may be in big trouble.
Is this hotel was used to be the bank building?

That’s a shame that the Otis Lexan service elevator isn’t operational anymore but still if it were to be in service I wouldn’t ride it because it would be staff only.
