3 night business stay

Check-in was speedy once I found the entrance. Was late night but it wasn’t very well lit or signed from outside.
Room was in good condition, but couldn’t work out the air conditioning to get it to a pleasant temperature. It just went from very cool to very hot. Pillows are very comfortable, but I found the mattress too firm so struggled to sleep.

This is typical of world we live in. New year eve is fireworks display and they have a balcony one in use and another in darkness or not utilised, So, what happened when we enquired about the balcony not in use? was the people who paid for it did not want any other people there. That is what has become of everything nothing is free for everyone but not this hotel you have to pay for the free view. What is the world coming to.

The actual room was pretty good. I like having kettle as well as coffee maker so the tea doesn't have that coffee tang. The check in process and check out process was good and staff in that area were good. Where they really let themselves down is the food and the service of the food. The breakfast buffet was OK, but dinner was brutal. Menu never changes for the whole time I was there, to get a waiter to take an order is a work of art. When they eventually (and I mean eventually) take the drink order, it was a 15 - 20 minute wait, and having to re ask where it was before that arrived, the food much longer. The food quality at dinner was poor and per above comment, the service was dreadful. The actual people were polite and nice enough, but clearly no proper training - no one comes back to the table to see how food is. I refused to pay for part of my food as it was not edible. They made some shoestring fries that were so soggy and full of grease - a real shame as the front desk people were nice, the rooms good and the location great too.

The stay was for medical reasons so our activity was confined to the Element and Epworth Freemasons.
The food overall was largely Asian origin so we didn't use that facility. The absence of English Breakfast tea in the morning - well!!
The bed was very comfortable but my wife thought the room was a little small - that could be because we were confined there for quite a few days.

Exceptional cleanliness, comfortable King Size bed, lovely room, helpful staff in a quiet location with parkland nearby and the sound of Cockatoos outside. The tram stop immediately opposite gave easy access into the city and the on site restaurant and bar were very welcome after a busy day. With heavy luggage a lift to all floors made for easy access.

The location was convenient for our stay as it was only about 5 km from my son’s home and this and the fact the Grand Prix was on and other hotels were out of our budget was the reason for choosing the property.
Our original room was totally wrong for our needs. We were placed in a room catering for disabled patrons. There was no shower screen, water from the shower went everywhere including all over the toilet, and the floor was a slipping hazard. This was rectified the next day by a lovely female duty manager who arranged to move us to another room and we appreciated the speedy resolution of our complaint.
I would like to add that the housekeeping service during our stay left a lot to be desired. Basics like tea & coffee were not replaced at all, I had to ask for toilet paper and tissues to be replaced, and on some days, the cups and glasses were not cleaned, towels were not replaced and rubbish was not removed.
We paid a premium price of $2233 for 7 nights twin share accommodation and it was a disappointing experience overall. The beds were clean and comfortable though.

I found it odd that there was NO items in the Kiki bar at all not even bottles of water.

We called to ask and they said we could walk down to lobby or wait til another time to call?

Petty small things but they didn’t restock the coffee pods either for the second night.

In saying that, If you’re looking for a short stay close to trams and a running track it’s awesome. Very clean

Great 5 day stay at Element.

We had a wonderful 5 day. The desk staff organized our disabled parking and we were free to come and go. The underground parking allowed us to easily transfer our luggage to our room. We ate at the restaurant several times and the food was very good and reasonably priced.
Great bed and we will definitely return.

Perfect stay with the pooch!

I really can’t fault my stay. I chose Element so I could bring my dog. The room was lovely, big king bed. All the doggy rooms are along one hallway on the ground floor, so you don’t feel bad if your dog barks here and there as you’re surrounded by other dog loving guests.

Happy hour in the sofa area is lovely. I ordered room service, pasta and tart, and both were delicious. The staff were lovely. Even the coffee made by the barista was spot on (my pet peeve is hotels who don’t have properly trained baristas!).

The only thing that didn’t appeal to me was the restaurant. It has tile floors and feels more like a cafeteria- fine for breakfast or lunch but really lacking ambiance for dinner, especially compared to the beautiful lounge area nearby. It feels cold and hard. I chose room service for that reason.
I will definitely be back!

Usually very good - this time below expectations

Usually, and generally a very good hotel. This time poor attention to detail, cost cutting. No longer providing moisturiser. No spare toilet paper roll - only had a half roll on arrival. Safe not working (this is common). Fridge door is faulty - water had leaked out of fridge onto floor and carpet.

The staff were very helpfull, when I called to let them know I would be checking in late. The room was tidy. The bed was so comfortable and the blackout curtains were that good, that I woke up at 8:30 am and thought it was like 4am.

Element is okay - nothing wrong with it, nothing great about it. Staff are slightly brusque, but efficient enough. On my first stay, the front desk couldn't find my payment for the room (booked online, directly through their website), so I sat at reception for two hours in the late evening waiting for them to figure it out as they repeatedly asked me to pay them again.

Also although it'll be sold to you at the front desk, it feels impossible to sign up for Marriot membership - their website and systems seem ancient. Give it a try, and you'll spend a frustrating 30 minutes going in circles online (check your email, enter your email, check your email again).

Twice in my most recent one week stay, no towels were left in my room.

I only stay here for work, which it's fine for - tram stop right outside, relatively close to everything, desk and powerpoints in room.

Property was modern, clean & well-presented. Check in was very slow. We had a few issues during our short stay, however the staff satisfactorily addressed all of them.

The receptionist that checked us in wasn’t very friendly. French talking man who seemed to not care about the customers.
The Motel was amazing and would recommend it to anyone. Clean; modern; bed was like sleeping on a cloud.

didn’t like I was charged credit card & I paid eftpos so they were paid in full before I stayed.
Paid for carpark 3 days no internal car park?
Get back to my room Saturday night my entry cards did not work had to wait for staff to fix. Coffee in restaurant was burnt and too strong
Staff could of had better manners
On leaving i mentioned the above and the man behind desk said he would phone or send email and nothing
Disappointed

The bed was so comfortable, the pillows were the best & the room with the block out blinds was amazing. We woke up after 9am thinking it was the middle of the night it was so dark. Loved the decor, the bathroom & shower, the kitchenette with mini fridge & kettle. Great tv with ability to stream apps from our phone, such as netflix. We had dinner in the restaurant which was very tasty & all the staff were fantastic. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay & honestly couldn't fault it. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here.

Ease of position, access and ability to let in fresh air.

Didn't like limited secure parking ( parking outside under a tree) when returning at night.

Otherwise great!

The property is well located and obviously setup for business travellers.
But, it is obvious the build was done on the cheap so not a great finish and don't think the walls were very thick as you can hear everything.
It is quite new which is its saving grace but I don't think it will be long before it will look tired.
Also, we stayed in a room facing the main road and let me just say that I was glad we had packed earplugs!

Great and convenient place to stay but needs to provide more bedding options for lighter doonas and firmer pillows. I had trouble sleeping because I was either too hot or too cold and the pillows look great but are so soft they almost suffocate you when trying to sleep. Fix these and I will be a regular customer other wise I would look for somewhere else because I need to be able to sleep well during business trips.
