The hotel is good. The breakfast is just ok. Why do hotels steam their scrambled eggs? They’ve got a cook right there they should remove that and their precooked turkey sausage. Otherwise good hotel.

The element is in a pretty good location if you want to do some shopping at the mall nearby or if you need to run to Walmart or Target quick it’s all in a central location. Plenty of options to choose from for eats around this location. Pretty easy to get to from the interstate. They have a small indoor pool that was family friendly. The hot tub was outside next to the pool area in case you are wondering. The king bed suite we booked was decent and clean. The breakfast was great, the food was fresh, the kitchen staff were very friendly and professional, and plenty of sitting in the eating area or in the nice lounge area. My family and I would definitely stay here again.

The facilities were nice. The atmosphere was unique. Plentiful free breakfast included. Many convenient eating or shopping places within a reasonable (walkable) distance. I wish we couldn't hear the neighbors next to us with a locked adjoining door, but that's not too unexpected for a hotel.
