Excellent stay!
We had an excellent stay at Element! The hotel was clean, beds comfy and spacious, and customer service was great. We love the outdoor hot tub when it was a cool night. There are also many chairs, tables, and fire tables in the courtyard that would be nice to use when it is warmer out. Staff were courteous and friendly and breakfast was very good.

Nice and quiet hotel
Nice room. Just stayed one night and not in room much but was clean. Phone broke and 1 tv remote for 2 rooms but other than that it was fine. This was our 2nd stay here.

Love this property and have stayed during the week before for work. We stayed two nights on Fri/Sat nights and the nighttime noise outside was horrid from 9pm-1am. Luckily we traveled with our sound machine but still heard it. This is not the hotels fault but something I’ve never experienced.

The front desk staff was exemplary, as were the breakfast servers. The breakfast choices were plentiful; I appreciated that. I was unused to the magnets for the “do not disturb” option; another guest pointed it out to me. The cleaning seemed to be random.
