The Element shares a building with the Aloft and it couldn't be a better match made in heaven. The restaurant, coffee space includes an outdoor area with group games and gets lively on the weekend. The rooms are modern, clean and just what you need. The location is perfect just off of 6th and Congress. 10 out of 10.
The front desk is super friendly and helpful. We loved our room, it was spacious and had a kitchen and a small den in addition to the bedroom and bathroom. It was all very clean and nicely appointed. The breakfast and an evening snack are included and served near the lobby. They were tasty and very convenient. We also borrowed the 2 bikes the hotel keeps for guests and had a great ride to the river and back.
The staff was very flexible with our check out time and was accommodating and courteous. I would highly recommend this hotel. It was nice to have a complimentary breakfast. The location was perfect for exploring 6th street and everything we went to was within walking distance!
From the moment that you arrive everyone is very friendly and helpful. The check in process is very easy and the rooms are very clean. It is nice to have the option of having a restaurant on location.
Great location close to everything, we had a wedding close by, and everything is walkable distance. 7 11 downstairs pick up some water very easy. The entry is a little weird, after parking you walk in on right is the cafe. You have to go upstairs to the second floor for check in for aloft, 3rd floor check in for element. But if you got off the wrong floor they still can check u in.
The front desk manager Stephanie was very nice and emailed me in advance that there was an upgrade available. Thank you to her.
The checkin guy was probably new so he has trouble locating the reservation and checkin us in. But no biggie, another girl checked out in.
The building is tall has some 30 something floors. The room is pretty clean with a small kitchen with microwave and refrigerator. It is modern decor, basic and simple.
Overall a great one night stay. The location can't be better than this.
You kinda need to valet car or else there are no other place to park. Call well in advance when you valet. The wait can be pretty long!!!!!!
The hotel is nice, check in was quick and easy. However, was double charged for valet. Called Monday to inquire, was told he would "comp" the one charge for me. It's not a comp fella if you fraudulently charged me for something twice. Anyway, Friday still no refund. Called and asked about it, was "cavalierly" told oh it hasn't been started yet, will start it today. I said well I've heard that before, why has it not been started and Mr. Attitude said "I said I will start it today and you will have new folio by 1:00". Then when I asked who the GM for Element was - he said the GM is the same for both hotels. OK Mr. Snarky, what's the GMs name. Kinda acted like I was bothering him and he was doing me a favor. I hate these "bougie wannabe" hotels, freely dipping into the pot and taking more of your money than they should, and then being annoyed when you have to call back twice for an update. Sadly I won't be returning, but I am a Starwood member and will be sending this up the chain.
Oh and shout out to the bartender who made me a Western Sour - my favorite drink, and the corn dip is good too!
