Stayed here for 4 nights. Overall good experience. The staff was courteous and accommodated our request for early check in. I was a little skeptical after reading some negative reviews about noise, cleanliness, room size, escalator wait time but my stay was actually good. The breakfast options were good. Room size was good and similar to other hotels in the area in the same range and in room kitchen, filtered water amenities were great for us. The staff did mention about noise during weekdays 9 to 5 pm. But i did not experienced it though i was out of my room around 11 AM everyday. Overall i enjoyed my stay here and the location is a plus.

There was construction going on and it was extremely loud. We were woken up daily by jackhammers right outside our room, it would have been nice to know that when we booked. We tried to change room but we not able too. We had a three year old and was a extremely tiring daily being woken up since we canme from west coast so it was 5am our time

Location was good, the room was good. The view was good. The breakfast and happy were good. Busy hotel since it's location. But slept fine and liked the room's view, as I had a higher floor room view towards downtown. It was perfect to walk to Time Square and our Stranger Things broadway show. I am a bellman myself, so the bellman's could be a just a little more thankful and friendly, but perhaps it's because of the sheer amount of people they deal with for luggage storage as it was busy and they probably get stiffed a lot too. But I tipped them well and it was efficient getting our luggage. The main complaint is I didn't have wifi the two nights I was there, it just wouldn't work for me. I didn't bother telling anyone as the front desk looked busy always too. Overall though, it was fine, expensive of course for the view and location, but it worked out fine for my girlfriend and I. Walked out the morning of check out and was easily able to hail a cab to the airport. Felt safe and got a good night sleep. They just need to fix their wifi.

Very busy hotel but a good location in NYC. The breakfast choice was very good. However, there isn't anywhere near enough space for everyone to eat. Many people had to go to their rooms or eat in the reception area. Only three lifts lead to long queues as people wait to go between the 40 floors. The room itself was OK but the noise from the very large, old air conditioning unit and the fridge freezer unit (right at the side of the bed) meant sleep was very interrupted. The room was clean and adequate otherwise, with USB charge points and basic kitchen utilities. The room had no drawers and no space in the bathroom for any toiletries so we felt very cramped and living out of our suitcases. The electronic safe was a good size. Our room was close to one of the fire exit staircases and the smell of pot coming from the stair well was overpowering at times. Also, there was no hot water one morning at all in our room. Reception just said 'well there's no problem with the hotel'. The roof terrace was closed and did not reopen as we were told it would.

We were informed at check in that there is emergency construction and that there MAYBE some noise!!! The noise was so loud we couldn’t hear ourselves talk and we all ended up with headaches! Needless to say we checked out early and moved to another hotel! It would have been nice to have been informed ahead of time. The construction had started a week before we checked in.

The staff were really pleasant and accommodating. We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast. I also found it helpful that there were notices throughout the hotel that explained the best times to visit the dining area for breakfast according to the level of business. The room was average overall. It was clean; size was ok for family of 4. There were holes in the walls in several places that had been poorly patched. The side of the dishwasher was peeling badly. The tv didn't work; we was told the cable services were under maintenance but they could help us try to get local channels. The location was great; close to everything. I'm thinking that is what largely attributed to the price of the stay. I have stayed in Marriott brand hotels before and this was the worst one; wouldn't stay there again.

This hotel had everything we were looking for. After researching many options and reading lots of reviews, I’m very happy with our choice and would stay again!

The location is great, about a 10 min walk from Times Square. I never felt the area was unsafe, despite some comments. The entrance is secure, with locked doors and security always present.
The staff were always friendly and helpful. Housekeeping is every 2 days, which we found perfectly adequate since we were out all day and we are clean people.
The room size was good, and the kitchenette was very well equipped, including a large fridge freezer. The bathroom was good with no issues at all.
We were lucky to have a view of the Empire State Building and The Edge.
On the downside, the air conditioning and heating system was difficult to control and quite noisy. The mattress in our room was worn and could use replacing.
Storage space was adequate for our needs, with a small cupboard to hang clothes.
Breakfast was buffet with a good variety of hot and cold food, with extended hours compared to other hotels. At around 8am I always found a table easily. It got busier after, with short waits and some people taking food to their rooms.
The 3 elevators can be busy, so some waiting is expected, be patient.
They also stored our luggage for free after checkout until 6pm.
We paid in full when booking, and the hotel only held a $250 deposit, which was refunded promptly an got it back in my bank account the day after checkout.

This hotel is in a great location, rooms are clean and the breakfast is actually great. We did find one of our beds was in terrible condition, springs sticking out.. felt like sleeping on an old pull out couch. I let reception know as I was checking out as there is no way that bed should be in use. Otherwise the stay was great.

Do not stay here until their facade construction is finished. The hotel is failing to disclose heavy, disruptive drilling (9 AM – 5 PM) on the booking page. I was only notified via a paper flyer after they took my payment at check-in.
The noise was so severe it caused a physical headache, forcing me to check out early. Despite management promising a full refund and loyalty points for the health distress, they later reneged on the first night's refund and wiped my stay data from the app.
This property is intentionally withholding information from guests until it’s too late to cancel. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Overall - I love the hotel.
I had already checked out a day early with refund due to unannounced ( very) loud construction at the hotel. Unfortunately, I needed to stay another night in nyc, and the hotel was listed on Expedia at a very cheap (£1) price, so I decided at that price, and put up with the noise during the day.

Check out was at 12- housekeepers started knocking every half hour from 9:30!
Bathroom sink was very slow to drain.

Had checked out early with refund the previous due to unexpected ( very) loud construction on the hotel.
I unfortunately needed to stay another night in nyc and the hotel was listed for £1 on Expedia so I just booked in again just for ease to get to
PABT.
Bathroom drains in every room I’ve stayed in are very slow.
Housekeepers start knocking on the door from 9:30 ( check out is at 12!)
It’s a very good hotel but needs to work out some issues because it is very large with a huge customer turnover.

The hotel is a solid and reasonably priced stay in the heart of midtown Manhattan (on the west side).

The hotel is convenient to the subway and Times Square. It’s definitely a heavily trafficked area (especially when there’s an event at nearby Madison Square Garden). While it can feel a bit hectic it also means it feels safe at night. That said, you have to walk southeast to find any charm in NoMad or Chelsea.

The breakfast is amazing for a hotel at this price point and the best I’ve ever seen. It’s also very popular, so leave time.

The bed is comfortable, the bathroom clean (if a tad worn). I didn’t even reserve a view room and it was on a high enough floor to get lots of natural light.

Every NYC hotel has issues with waiting for elevators. It wasn’t quite as bad at Element (the higher the floor, the better since they’re usually full by the time they get to the lower floors).

Overall amazing value for the money.

From the stench of dead rodents in the hallways to the poor attitudes of the front desk personnel. And from the terrible housekeeping staff that left broken glass on my floor for 3 days despite 5 requests to have it cleaned, to the non-working TV in my room that took 2 days to fix (I heard several other guests complaining about their TVs too). My stay was nearly 2 weeks and engineering never came to fix the bathroom light that would turn on and off intermittently. The furnishings are cheap and heavily worn. This place is definitely not deserving of the \"8+ very good\" rating on Hotels.com. Maybe Marriott (the owners of Element) bought that high rating because it's a 3 or 4 at best. I strongly recommend avoiding Element.
