"Hotel looked brand new, super clean, and tucked inside what felt like cozy isolation. The only thing was that our room requests took quite a while: a microwave, as well as ice machine service. A while was like 30+ mins. I had to call back to follow up on these things and then they fulfilled the services. Other than that, the place was great. Food is a little pricey but expected because of the location."

"My first stay at any Element did not disappoint. This property was well-maintained, clean, and had updated touches. Not sure when the property was built, but it felt new. The lobby is welcoming and accommodating for larger crowds. The breakfast was actually good, better than most typical hotel complimentary breakfasts. I like that they have an easily accessible business area with a computer and printer for guests. The front desk staff was accommodating. Over the 7-day stay, they greeted us every time we arrived and said goodbye each time we left, which was a nice touch. The outdoor area is nice, with spaces to lounge and dine, including the pool and hot tub. The gym was clean. The rooms were stocked well for an extended stay. Housekeeping was good, and towels were fresh. A great stay while house-hunting."
