the room was clean and we checked in before 3:00 pm and we were able to check in early. However, we requested more blankets and pillows and the front desk told me that they didn't have any extra pillows or blankets at the time however it was fine. they said if they found any extra they will bring it to our room. however no extra. Aside from that everything was excellent.

Hotel is so much nicer than a 3 star should be. Breakfast was the best hotel breakfast I've had included with a room. As well, the happy hour is a nice touch and the snacks and beer were great. Amazing gym and amenities. Only complaint is that I booked a king room and was given a 2 bed room when I checked in.

Great stay! Still like new.

My only disappointment was that there was no hot oatmeal for breakfast. Everything else was fantastic. The filtered water in the room was great. Definitely will book at Elements again if the opportunity arises.
