The one suggestion I have is about the towels. Get better towels. The towels were like Motel 6 towels. Thin and rough. Not what I would expect from this place.

Superb 3people with 1dog

family of 3humans and one dog, stayed this hotel. first of all , smells so good entire hotel, want to know what perfume or room spray they use, amenities are also very nice to use, room has very contort queen size bed with sofa.(converted into a bed) very roomy very clean. most of all i love there were dining room table instead of kind useless desk most of hotel room has. we picked up food from outside and set it nicely in the dining room table and enjoyed to stay in this room. two adults and one teen and one dog did not feel cramping in this room. love to stay more can wait to try every element hotel all around the country. since we have a dog, dog friendly yet clean not nice room is so so so big!! plus!!! 99999%% because this stay, from now on element hotel will be our #1 choice

I loved everything about it except the bed. It was too firm, not comfortable at all. Its the first time I stay at a hotel with an uncomfortable bed. Couldn't sleep well at night.

Amazing, but not having a Spanish tv was bad

The Hotel staff was amazing!! front desk, breakfast and Happy hour staff are the best and extremely helpful. only thing that I am disappointed on is that the daily parking fee was not disclosed at booking or when I checked in, and I did not notice it under the amenities. this is an extended stay hotel, and I did notice my room had a body odor lingering. It dint bother me much but it was noticeable eventually I bought an air fresher since I did not want to move rooms. lastly, they do not offer any Spanish channels on their regular tv guide. I was quite shocked and asked the front desk as well and they did not find the channel either. I have never been to a hotel that did not offer at least one Spanish channel. I am bilingual and I like to stay current by watching the News in Spanish and I was not able to do this at this hotel. unfortunately, due to the nature of current politics I found this to be extremely dishearten and made me sad to be honest.
