Recomendaria pela localização
Pros:

Localização
Hotel novo
Móveis novos

Cons:

Tive problema na entrada que queriam me cobrar um valor bem acima do meu booking mas outro funcionário conseguiu rastrear meu código para eu pagar o valor combinado. E não gostei que não sabia que limpeza era a cada dois dias e não diariamente

Perfect location, great hotel
Pros:

This hotel is outstanding. I don't know why their rating is low. We had a fabulous time.

Some highlights:
- They let me check in at 11 AM when I got into town. So amazing to get in the room right away.
- They gave me a late check out of 1 PM, which was really clutch for my 2 PM train. Very nice and accommodating.
- They let me store my rented bike in the room, and it was super easy to get it on the elevator and to my room.
- The free breakfast is solid for a hotel free breakfast.
- The happy hour on weeknights with a free beer and bread/cheese/olives is a nice touch.

The hotel is new, clean, modern, and the location is AMAZING. It's a 5 minute walk from City Hall, which has a subway that will take you south to a Phillies/Eagles/76ers game in 15 minutes. Or west to the 30th Street Station to catch Amtrak. So convenient. We found the surrounding area highly walkable and bikable with lots of restaurants and shopping.

The rooms have a fridge, stove, and dishwasher. We only used the fridge. Big bathroom. Comfortable beds. Nice desk. Great view on the 19th floor of the city. We were room 1906.

The rooms did not have USB-C ports, which surprising me considering it seemed so new. The blackout curtains were not the best... lots of light got through in the morning, but I wear a sleepmask so it was fine.

Would absolutely stay here again.

Great Stay slightly sketchy neighborhood.
Pros:

Everything about the hotel

Cons:

For our first stay in Philadelphia the Elements was just great! The only drawback is that is an area close by that seems kind of trendy with lots of good restaurants that we walked to- but walking back in the evening the area felt kind of sketchy with a fair amount of homeless individuals. Having lived in NYC for many years I was equipped for it but just giving a heads up- great hotel and would stay there again!
