I love this hotel. After the rat race of life. Element if a perfectly calming, zenlike experience. The lobby and decor is earthtones, sleek and modern with a lot of natural accents and sunlight. The hallways have interesting ceiling art with subtle lighting and every step you take toward your room removes just a little more stress. The rooms, like the lobby, are decorated with the same calming earthtones and have fridge, microwave and even dishes. The bathroom is large with modern design and lighting that flatters and a large shower with rain forest shower head and good hot water. There is a cockktail party with wine, beer, soft drinks and appetizers and they don't scrimp on the wine. Breakfast is almost as good as a bed and breakfast with plenty of options and eggs cooked for you and delivered to you along with a fruit and nut yogurt bar and their turnovers are plump with filling. Good wifi (I was there on business), good TV, and it was quiet. I can't speak for the pool as I didn't take a dip but it looked as clean and comfortable and well kept as the rest of the property. I travel a lot and wish I could find more Elements. When I leave, I feel like I've visited a restful spa and I think this it my favorite hotel I've stayed at. I could find an excuse to visit again. The only complaint I had was that I remember thinking as I fell asleep that the sheets were not as soft as mine at home. (I have a really comfortable bed).
