Relaxing visit to NYC

The Element is a modern, eco-friendly experience. The exercise room was state-of-the-art, the breakfast offered excellent selection, and the lobby was comfortable. The room was a bit small, but not unexpectedly so, being right in Times Square. The staff was courteous and very helpful. This was my first visit to the Big Apple, and I had a wonderful time!

Great location

The location was perfect to the Javitz Center. Central to a lot of other attractions. It was a little busy at the complimentary breakfast in the morning. The staff were friendly and helpful more so than other hotels I have stayed at so it was a welcome surprise. I would definitely stay there again.

Pleasant Surprise near the Port Authority...

Aside from the amazing, comfy bed, good television, and spotless bathroom..my room had sink, huge fridge, dishwasher, stovetop, dishes, glassware, etc... There was a "Relax" time..which is a happy hour in the evening during the week with free wings, cheese, wine and beer and soda.. Plus continental breakfast in the a.m....all included in room price. Definitely recommend it to anyone who needs to be in midtown for business or pleasure.

A Short Stay But Perfect

The room was great we were upgraded to a studio because of our Starwood Points. Staff was friendly and professional. One thing about the room is all wood floors I felt like it could have used an area rug to add a little warmth. The kitchenette was fully stocked with all the kitchen ware one would need and a real big fridge freezer was nice. It was smart design and had a little place for everything. Bathroom was spacious and nice and had a real door...if you travel to NYC you know a common trend is frosted glass sliders which don't seem as private. Beds were very comfy.

Our new home-away-from home!

We loved the Element. It has a clean, crisp, modern decor, with soft earth tone colors. The lobby, while small, welcomes you with comfy couches, lemon-water and fresh fruit. Staff is very friendly and immediately responsive to anything you ask. Concierge was very helpful in getting us to the right subway for the Yankee game. Our room felt like a little studio apt, great view of the city, cute modern kitchenette, large desk with shelving underneath, and truly heavenly bed and pillows! There isn't a dresser, but a tall wardrobe instead, and wood laminate floors instead of carpeting. As an Eco-friendly hotel, we appreciate the thought that went into each item used in the room. The bathroom continued with clean, simple lines, no tub, but a big roomy shower with soap and shampoo in dispensers. We loved the option of having breakfast provided, we enjoyed breakfast sandwiches, cereal, pastries, and fresh fruit, plenty of coffee, tea, juice and what looked like a smoothie option also. The manager's reception in the evening we could only attend once, included hot wings and a potato dish, chips, dip, beer and wine. Perfect for a snack before hitting the evening scene. We ended up doing late night laundry once, and were very happy to have the workout room next door to it, it had everything we needed to get a great workout. The rooftop terrace was small but very nice with a good view as well. Our room was quiet and it was easy to get a great night's rest- the hotel felt like an oasis in the middle of the bustle of the city. The hotel maintains a strong staff presence in the lobby which helps it feel extra safe. Thanks, we will be back!

Best Hotel in New York!

The Element is by far the best hotel I've stayed at in New York. For the price, it goes above and beyond the value. The location is top notch! 10 Minutes away from Times Square, 15 Minutes from the Empire States Building, 10 Minutes from the Harbour and a lot more! The rooms are very modern with hardwood flooring and a full sized kitchen/fridge. Has a pleasant sleep with no noise at all. The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay amazing and every time I walked through the hotel, I felt very welcomed. This was my second stay in New York and I know whenever I go back, I wont be going anywhere else. Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for a high quality hotel in New York for an amazing price! You won't regret it!

Sightseeing tip: Not Applicable

If your going to New York for the first time, purchase the New York City Pass. Very cheap and lets you skip all the long lineups. (Empire States Building, Rockefeller Centre, City Line Boat Cruise, many museums and much more!). The Grayline Bus Tours are also a great deal! Can be used as free transportation for 48hours covering Upper and Lower Manhattan.
