Everything I could ask for in a hotel, as a travelling foreigner on vacation in the USA and Philadelphia for the first time. Excellent location and helpful concierge service and I liked that the lobby and floors were above street level, only allowing those with keycards to enter at night. One of the few issues was that while the concierge was helpful, the concierge that checked me in perhaps forgot to tell me that the sink in my Kitchenette had a filtered water dispenser along with the standard faucet, something I really would have like to have known before I spent in inordinate amount of money on the first few days of my stay on upscale bottled water for my room, thinking there was no other option for drinking water, as I only found out after later of the existence of said filtered water dispenser by chance, after overhearing another guest checking in being informed of it. I would at least liked to have known that was an option. The only other issue, was once on the night I checked in. Expecting to check in during the afternoon, numerous delays on the flight over meant that I checked in after 10 pm and therefore had to have dinner in the hotel. And despite making sure I ordered food from the hotel kitchen an hour before the closing time of 11 pm, I didn’t get anything until 11:30 pm. Fortunately, the Mexican style Cobb Salad and Cheesesteak empanadas were, at least for me, good enough to almost make up for such a long wait.

I highly recommend the Element Hotel when visiting Philly. The location is amazing. The staff is amazing and one of my favorite amenities to the hotel is how they have a bike program which allows you to be able to take a bike for free and ride around the city. I had so much fun riding around the city. Their gym is amazing. The room is beautiful. Everything is very clean and they have free breakfast and Monday through Thursday. They have free Happy hour for everyone. I truly enjoyed my stay here and I highly recommend this place 10 out of 10.

The staff at check in was great. Very nice and informative and our room was ready for an early check in, which was a pleasant surprise. The hotel was in a great area within walking distance of all of the main historic attractions nearby. The room was very clean and we had no issues throughout our stay. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to the Philadelphia area.

We loved the property. It was nice to be in walking distance to restaurants and Reading Terminal Market. Staff and valet were great, but very pricey. They required a minum of $250 hold for an incidental charge for only one night. This was a lot more than most other places and costed us more than we paid for the room. The valet came to $70 after taxes for one night.

I really liked the breakfast. Rooms were newly remodeled and the bathroom was very nice. Also, it was quite helpful to have a mini kitchen with cookware inside the room. The elevators and streetlevel lobby were not very inviting. A lot more can be done to spruce up those areas.

Pre-paid via Expedia. When I got there I put a card down for incidentals. After I left I noticed my "incidentals" card was charged for the room ($391). Not for the amount but for $250 twice. So overall I paid $775 for a room that costs $271. I called the front office and they said I would be reimbursed (5-7 business days). Do not pre-pay at this hotel!
