This hotel is a nice spot in Philadelphia. Perfect spot and walkable to many sites, restaurants, parks, and/or stores. Staff was efficient but not overly friendly. Any question I had was answered and every situation was taken care of very promptly. But a smile here or there or a casual hello/good morning would have been nice. Breakfast was the usual fare but it was always the same. Every day. Eating area was a bit on the small side. During the weekday, the space was tolerable, but on the weekend, it was another story. Overall, I do recommend this hotel. I would definitely stay here again.

This was our first time staying at Elements downtown and we absolutely LOVED it! The room was spacious and clean and the location was PERFECT for us to see/do everything we wanted to in Philly! Not to mention, the complimentary breakfast was made hot and fresh every morning while also offering plenty of options for things to choose from! Both my husband and I agree that this was one of the BEST hotels we have ever stayed at and we would recommend this place to everyone!

Brittney at the front desk in Philadelphia was awesome. I requested to move my room due to city noise and she made it happen.

Super clean and comfortable and excellent breakfast and coffee. It's in the heart of the city so there's a fair amount noise like in any city. Sirens and cars with illegal exhausts racing through the streets late at night.
