Valet
Pros:

Valet worker, Tyron Watkins, was amazing. He made parking so much easier and even gave good suggestions for places to eat. This hotel was one of the best I’ve ever been to! I will definitely come back.

Excellent Service
Pros:

I would like to recognize two team members at The Element who made a positive impact during my stay.

Hector went above and beyond by assisting my daughter and me with our luggage and taking the time to provide helpful information about the area. His willingness to offer professional referrals and local insight demonstrated a genuine desire to help guests feel welcomed and informed.

I would also like to recognize Robert for his exceptional service. When I simply requested clean towels, he took the initiative to ensure the entire room was cleaned. His attention to detail and commitment to guest comfort exceeded my expectations and reflected a strong sense of pride in his work.

What stood out most about both Hector and Robert was their willingness to take initiative. Rather than doing the bare minimum, they looked for ways to solve problems and improve the guest experience. Their professionalism, helpfulness, and dedication contributed greatly to making our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

Great for a small weekend away or 1 night, if you’re out and about but not if you’re wanting a long stay resort.
Pros:

Great location for restaurants

Cons:

The room temperature didn’t go low enough and was really loud - so needed to turn it off to sleep.
I wouldn’t use the pool as it’s by the car park and not very private.

Thank you Donna always a pleasure at the front desk!
Pros:

Great booking process! Found the best deal through trivago!
Once we got to our hotel we were greeted by the lovely presence of the Donna at the front desk! She explained everything me and my girlfriend needed to know about our rooms, free breakfast, the parking, and any room service we would be needing along the way. Seeing Donna and her fellow coworkers at the front desk and valet have continued to greet us with such respect! The hotel was so great with their focus on greener energy uses and materials. Had a really incredible view of the entire Orlando skyline! Will definitely be staying here again!
