Prestations à revoir.
Les lits sont trop petits et ne correspondent pas au descriptif de l’annonce. Sinon l’hôtel est bien placé, la taille des chambres est correcte. Le petit déjeuner est simple mais efficace. Les frais relatif au stationnement des véhicules avec l’hôtel sont trop élevés,
Nous avons trouvé un parking en sous-sol à 5 minutes à pied de l’hôtel et avons économisé plus du double du tarif de l’hôtel.

The room was clean and comfortable. The front desk staff were fantastic. Parking was a hot mess though. I prepaid for parking with my reservation and upon arrival we had to circle the block around the hotel multiple times in heavy city traffic waiting for a spot to open up to valet our car (none did after 30+ mins, so we had to park elsewhere and pay again for the first 6 hours of our stay). Came back later to park overnight and again took about 20 mins just for valet staff to come take the keys to park the car). Then the following morning it took about an hour to get our car back to leave. I would happily stay at the element again but I absolutely would not park there again. It's not worth the headache

November 2024 stay
I liked it,,, nice room,,, nice breakfast,,,, I would recommend separate shampoo and conditioner rather than a combined solution. Valet service was a bit slow and expensive

I always love this place! Never disappointed. It’s located near everything in Philly. Good pricing, kitchen in the room, spacious room and bathroom. Lots of fun things to do around the hotel in walking distance. Great free breakfast!
