I had an amazing stay at Element Orlando Universal Blvd. From the moment I arrived, the front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, making it easy to relax after a day out. The housekeeping team was kind, attentive, and always willing to assist, which added a special touch to the experience. Breakfast was delicious and fresh every morning, with plenty of variety. The location is unbeatable — just steps away from ICON Park, with tons of restaurants and attractions within walking distance. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Orlando!

Terriblemente sucia la habitación. En los 4 días nunca limpiaron, además, la tina y el sanitario estaban tapados. La piscina da a la calle, sin privacidad. Lo unico bueno es la ubicación y la atención de la recepción y del restaurante. Realmente NO vale la pena ir, pensé que por ser de la cadena Westin iba a tener mejores condiciones.
