The breakfast was good. Not many plant-based options, but I was fed fibrous, hot oatmeal with nuts, berries, and bananas. One of the three elevators was out during our stay, so elevator waits were quite long most of the days. Our bathroom had no body wash when we arrived. We called housekeeping and they offered to send it "right away" but it never arrived! We managed to snag one from the housekeeping cart parked in the hallways. The shower head was also weird—it took extra work to balance it in position so it wouldn't fall down while showering. The lighting situation was off as all the switches were far away from the bed and couch. Overall, an OK place to crash for a few nights in NYC.

The positives: location, 24-hour gym, comfortable bed and pillows. Negatives: staff, TV (always reset to volume 99 when turned off/on {crazy}, plus, didn’t show what station you were watching), dishwasher was on when I went to the room and nothing was in it when it stopped, an elevator was broken for the entire trip, lack of convenient charging outlets in the room.

Room was clean, shower was scalding hot with no cold water, toilet was clogged but the front desk sent maintenance to fix the issues, this helped a lot! The elevators were very slow and limited to 2 working for 40 floors, be prepared to wait 10-20 minutes for the elevators. Service was okay. Breakfast was okay but very crowded with limited seating. We decided to skip it. Location was convenient.

Great hotel with central location. The room was updated, roomy and clean. The breakfast has great selection and the staff was friendly. Only issue was the elevators. Only 2 were in service which created long lines, and getting up and down took forever. The day we were leaving, we ended up walking down 33 floors (w luggage) after waiting for 20 min for the no show elevators. Nevertheless I would stay there again.

This hotel was very clean and spacious for a New York hotel. The staff was very charming and friendly, and I could not complain about the city view that we got (we were able to see the Empire State Building!) The elevators were a bit slow and cramped, but manageable to use. Breakfast was also really good with lots of unique, yet versatile options. Overall, I'd highly recommend The Element, especially for first-timers.

For one they forgot my special request for my birthday. The security was rude to the guest and the front desk staff pretty much said it was protocol. The hotel was ok overall, breakfast was good but with the elevator down it took away so much precious time from the day.

Everything was fine EXCEPT that, with 40 floors and poorly working elevators (one completely broken), the situation was difficult to get up and down. If you were above the 10th floor, you often had to wait, and wait, and wait, and wait. Really not a premium experience for the price we paid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
