The hotel is very nice and my room had an amazing view of the city. The only thing i didn’t like is that they provide all disposable plates, bowls, cups, and utensils for their buffet breakfast- that feels immensely cheap and unnecessary not to mention how wasteful this is. Start serving breakfast with real plates and such - you are catering to adults, not children.

This was my first time in Philly and the first time at Element Philadelphia Downtown - and I loved it! Staff were friendly and helpful at check-in, even referring me to the W next door for concierge assistance, where they recommended an excellent restaurant within walking distance. The room was spotless and well-thought out on top of being extremely comfortable. It was an excellent experience overall and I have been telling family members we will return together for a longer stay. While all other areas exceeded expectations, one area that could be improved is to offer breakfast food suitable for keto diets, like high-fat plain yogurt, nuts, and fresh blueberries.
