The hotel was clean however my room had a sewage smell when you first enter (I think I read this on another review). I sprayed and lit a candle and since I was there one night declined the offer to switch rooms. I did notify the front desk. The valet process was a bit confusing. The staff I encountered when I drove up didn't appear welcoming which made me want to reconsidering staying the evening. The morning valet staff when I left was a little more welcoming. I did like Dolce Italian restaurant. I probably wouldn't return back to Element.

The location was ideal, within easy reach of great restaurants, shops, and attractions. Our room was modern, clean, and comfortable, with a handy kitchenette—though I did wish there had been some crockery and drinking glasses. The daily breakfast was a plus.
