I loved this hotel, it was in a great downtown location, the people mover right across the street and Q line 5 mins walk away, 5 mins walk to Comerica field and Ford field, and 10 mins walk to the basketball arena, access to the YMCA is included which is 1 min walk away. Free breakfast and a free happy hour Monday -Thursday 5.30-7.30pm with beer and wine, street level bar with great staff ,and a really awesome burger ,and a great roof top bar too, you can see the baseball field from there. Great front desk staff and breakfast staff were wonderful too, food was delicious, free breakfast included scrambled eggs, home fries and meat, a yogurt bar, cereal and juices, every other day a custom choice was included, the meat was either sausage patties, links or turkey bacon. Housekeeping on the other hand were disastrous, 4 days into my stay ,I asked front desk if housekeeping could empty my trash that had not been emptied in all that time and replace the toilet tissue that was down to its last , and I had to ask again when I came back as it had not been done, I am not complaining about the beds not being made or towels not replaced but come on ,we are tourists that eat out, I don’t need to be still smelling my food 4 days later, the beds don’t get made or towels replaced except on a rota and they didn’t impress me by making my bed the day before I left and I stayed for a week! But I would still stay there as the rest of my experience was outstanding.

Great Little Downtown Hotel!

I really enjoyed my stay at The Element Hotel. It was a great location within 15 minutes to my work sites. The accommodations were clean, sufficiently stocked with everything one needs for in-house meals, beautiful large bathroom with plenty of towels. The hotel staff was professional, knowledgeable and eager to handle each customer’s needs. Big shout out to Ricka and the staff in the dining room.

Area seemed nice. There was a dead bug in our bedding. The facility seemed clean overall. The property offered filtered water- but it didn’t taste good enough to drink.

Great hotel but needs a disclaimer

The stay was great, the hotel was also great, it had everything we needed and it was very clean and beautiful. However, you need to put a disclaimer when you describe the amenities, one of the main reasons we booked this hotel was because it has a "rooftop terrace", which is does, but it is accessed via the penthouse night club, so it is 21+ and the access depends on whether the club is booked or not. We wanted to see the beautiful cityscape in between the years, but the night club was booked by a wedding and even if it wasn't, our teenage kids were not allowed to pass through the night club to see the outside view anyway. You can imagine it was a bit frustrating since that was the aspect that made us choose this hotel. Hope this makes sense, thank you.
