Great room

Location is great right near city hall, room had a great view with large windows! The room was clean with lots of seating, bed was comfortable. Breakfast was the usual items for a hot breakfast. My only complaint is that if you go at a busy time the elevators to get back to your room it takes a bit. There was a line of people to get back to their rooms after eating. Would stay there again for sure

I did think that the area to the "right" of the property was not that ideal place to walk. If you head towards the Ritz Carlton, it is much nicer.

The Element is right in the heart of Philadelphia and easily walkable to many places. The breakfast is amazing and the wine and cheese happy hour Monday through Thursday was nice. No restaurant on site. It is in the downtown so you will see homeless people but the hotel is very safe and comfortable. The full fridge was especially nice.

The woman at the frint desk was polite and helpful. The room was nice and I liked the breakfast and convenience of water filter in the room. This hotel was in a perfect location for public transportation. The water power in the shower was a little low for my liking. Great stay overall.

Our room was spacious and the kitchenette with regular size fridge and sink is really nice for extended stays. Staff were friendly and very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.
