I reserved 2 rooms. Due to Expedia’s technical difficulties, only one reservation went through. I wasn’t aware of this until I was on a plane to this hotel. The hotel and Expedia wouldn’t cancel. And ended up driving home after all day flying because the hotel couldn’t provide us with another room since they were full. And we couldn’t fit 7 people in 1 room. Expedia AND the hotel refused to refund us. Even though Expedia was the issue. Instead they wanted us to either book second room at a seperate hotel, and seperate my family, or book 2 rooms at another hotel and lose what I was charged for the Element. This was a bad situation all around

Great for Family of 5

We had a great stay at this hotel. The room was clean, spacious and the kitchenette was fully loaded with dishes, refrigerator, they even had dish soap and a dish washer. We are a family of 5 (2 teens and a school age kiddo) - it was spacious enough that each kid had a space to play and eat. The breakfast offerings were healthy and multiple options for the family. Their espresso machine is a plus!
