Rough 2005 Otis Series 5 NEL Hydraulic Elevators at Homewood Suites by Hilton (Asheville, NC)

These were some of the elevators I definitely wanted to get to when the time comes. One year later, I finally get to see them.

I had high hopes that these would be cool, but sadly, no. These do not run good at all, being super jolty and rough. I mean it's cool to see a Series 5 "NEL" that doesn't serve 2 or rarely 3 Stories for once, but these definitely need some work. Minus that, these are pretty rare!
