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.
