Great hotel. If I had to be picky, I would shave a point off since the pool wasnt heated as advertised. However, everything else far made up for it. Rooms were clean and new and location is great.

Booked this hotel after leaving another crummy hotel across the street. The element hotel staff were excellent and very accommodating to our needs. They allowed us to check in early which was such a nice surprise and our room was nice and clean. The linens were really nice and I liked the fact that they had filtered drinkable tap water in the room. I always hate buying tons of water bottles. The pool was cute and had a nice atmosphere even though it was next to a street. My only complaint was the pool temperature, website said it was heated but I really doubt it. Freezing cold, no one swam in it in March. I would stay here again.

We chose the hotel for its proximity to the convention center. Unfortunately, the area around the hotel is quite noisy due to its location near many restaurants and bars. The location is excellent, just keep in mind that there will be music playing in the surroundings until 1 AM.
