    Double bed room
    Jesika D.

    This place is amazing. On site parking. Online check in and digital key. Very clean and the staff was very friendly. Free breakfast that I missed (ends too early) The beds are platform bed but Omg so comfy. I didn't want to get out of it. So close to everything downtown moline. They took an old industrial Warehouse and made it amazing. I highly recommend this hotel and it will be my local go to from now on!

    I used the Marriott Bonvoy app to locate this gem of a hotel as we were driving cross country and looking for a late night check in. What a great property! The building was originally constructed as warehouse in 1917. The renovated modern industrial themed hotel opened in 2018. I just love what they've done with the space--it's just so different from most other chain hotels. Our double queen room was SO spacious and I loved the interplay between the modern fixtures and the industrial structure that has been incorporated into the design. The room was clean, and the beds were quite comfortable. It's too bad that we were only in town for a very brief overnight stay--this would be a great hotel to enjoy for a couple of days. The only shade I could throw on this place (and I know this is just a subjective pet peeve) is that instead of individual toiletry products in the shower theres a wall-mounted shampoo/conditioner dispenser. Whenever I see those dispensers it just throws off a communal gym or rec center shower vibe that I just done wanna have, especially in an otherwise nice hotel. One of the reviews of this place gives it just a single star and mentions train noise. Well, I'm sure train schedules vary, but neither I nor my family heard any trains during our overnight stay--we all slept just fine.

    Wow, What a hidden gem. Easy access, hotel staff friendly, helpful and happy. King room with a kitchenette was laid out well, very roomy and so comfortable. Unique hotel that was remodeled from a historical building, I'd call it modern with industrial elements. They left the ceilings vintage, center column untouched in the bathroom, very well done. Breakfast has great options. Definitely will come back to stay. Very very comfortable place to stay.

    After you stay at the Element, every other hotel stay will only feel sub-par. The industrial design with bright colored accents and the included weekday happy hours make you feel as though you're staying somewhere luxurious, but the friendly staff and Chef T's delicious, fresh breakfasts in the mornings make you feel at home. Not to mention, our dog was always treated well, and this is the only hotel we've encountered where pets stay free! This will always be our go-to place to stay when visiting the Quad Cities!

    I was a guest at your hotel from 6/16/2020-6/22/2020 for my House Hunting Trip to the Quad Cities, IA IL. During the duration of my stay with my family Dassah and Daniel were amazing employees. Both of them were helpful, extended so many courtesies, and was accommodating. They embodied everything that I look forward to have at a Marriott Franchise and being a Bonvoy member. The other employees at the front desk were helpful polite and welcoming. The team did a wonderful job making me and from what I observed everyone feel at home. But I want to personally thank them for all the kindness they both extended to me and my family due to the horrid experience that we encountered. For the entire stay my room was never serviced by house keeping. I had my trained service animal traveling with me. After two days of non-service I inquired about it to the Front Desk personnel. I was then informed of the policy of non service while the service animal is there. The next day I booked a stay for my service animal at a bark and stay resort for dogs in order to mitigate the issue. Upon leaving the room at 8:30 am I spoke directly to the Head of Housekeeping and informed her of our departure and that we will be all day. We returned home at 7:00 pm and the room was not serviced. I spoke to a young woman at the desk and she offered to clean the room herself, and extra towels, and left notes on our room. The next following 4 days were the same thing; the service animal was out of the room and no service done by housekeeping. Daniel sent housekeeping to the room on the final night and she offered to clean but the service animal is off duty and was tired from working all day., She then retorted "I can give you sheets and you can change the bed and straighten up the room yourself." Never have I been suggested to clean my hotel room from housekeeping at any another hotel franchise. As a courtesy for the inconvenience Daniel offered me 2,000 Bonvoy points on top of the 8,000+ I would receive for the stay.Totaling 10,000+. This morning I checked my account and I haven't received them.( not happy!) My account total should be upwards of 20,000. I was due to spend 53 nights at that hotel this coming August 2020, but I am unsure if we want to spend a large sum of money and time at an establishment that we feel uncomfortable with its treatment of its guests. As a out of town traveler, law enforcement officer, and there on relocation business it left me feeling skeptical, persecuted, and unappreciated. I love Marriott, and hope the standards stay above all the rest. I sincerely hope and this incident was an anomaly and not a constant because I would have to patronage elsewhere.

    Element Moline is the debut hotel of the Element brand in Illinois. Part of the hotel is located in the O'Rourke Building, a warehouse that was originally built in 1916 by the Crandall Transfer and Warehouse Company. Located near the Mississippi River, Element Moline is within walking distance to TaxSlayer Arena, John Deere Pavilion, Rock Island Arsenal Museum and several bars and restaurants. Their modern loft style rooms offer a spacious design to stretch your legs, or get some work done on your laptop or both. Make sure you start your morning with their complimentary breakfast buffet serving an assortment of healthy and American classics. If your lucky you'll run into Element Molines' top employee (in our books) Chef Tearesa. Ask her for her special, she'll take good care of you.

    This is a gorgeous hotel. I love everything about this place. It stands out from the majority of other hotels. The staff is amazing, and goes the extra mile to help make your stay memorable. The detail put into this place was thought out beautifully. The concrete floors, exposed brick, tile work in the bathrooms, the ambiance everywhere makes this place feel comfortable, and peaceful. The happy, relaxing, peaceful energy is very welcoming, and appreciative. They offer a complimentary breakfast with many organic options, Chobani yogurt bar, cereal, and fruit bar, and to top it off, the chef cooks her yummy organic pancakes right infront of you.

    Carpet stain

    A good experience starts with check in. I planned to be in town on business so was going to be there a week. I check in on a Sunday afternoon where the woman at the front desk acknowledged me by saying "just a minute." That was followed by a distasteful grunt towards something or someone. It then was followed with, "name?" I was given my key and honestly don't remember if she even told me what room. Usually I'm greeted at other Marriott properties with "thank you for being a Platinum Member" which I don't e"need but sure would have been welcomed over what I walked into when I stepped in. My room had stains all over the carpet and food crumbs under the chair/ottoman. The bathroom had spots that clearly hadn't been cleaned well. I'll attach pictures. They could improve significantly when it comes to the cleanliness. The noise! A few nights I had to call down to the front desk because if noise above me. I could hear everything. I was also put on the second floor even though I've always had a preference for a high floor on my Bonvoy account. They don't look and they don't care. I also believe I was right above a bar on the main level and the noise was horrendous. Other complained about the train, which, I luckily didn't hear much but I'd take the train over everything I heard. Most people were friendly (minus the front desk attendant when I checked in) and usually enjoy staying here but there's some opportunity to step it up.

    An amazing hotel with an awesome staff! I visit this area a lot for business and Element never fails me! Honestly can't say a negative thing about this hotel! In the perfect area and close to it all. Walking distance for all the restaurants, bars, and Tax Slayer Center! The hotel has free bikes to use on the Mississippi River trail or just to get around town, a nightly social with free wine and beer, and free parking! For anyone that want to complain about the train. Either use the ear plugs or take a deep breath. The hotel is in middle of a city, there will be noise. The free beer and wine more than makes up for the train noise! Check out my google review for more pictures!

    Modern Elegance in Moline While I was in the Quad cities area on business last year, I came across this new hotel on the Marriott (now BonVoy) app on my phone. I have stayed across the river in a few of the hotels in Davenport and Bettendorf and was looking for something new. The app showed me relatively new hotel called the "Element" in Moline. I looked at the photos and some of the early reviews which were great, and decided to give this hotel a shot. From the moment I walked in to the front lobby area until I left I have to say this was a great experience. I stayed in a king room which was very roomy, and although an older building now modernized, it had a very loft like and trendy feel to it. The room was very well arranged, the decor was very new and sophisticated. Everything in the room flowed perfectly. The desk area was a great space to get work done, the kitchen had everything I needed. The bed was very comfortable and the washroom was spacious and very well designed. Wifi is great in this hotel I had no issues and found to be very fast. Parking is free and across the street with in and out privileges but close enough to the hotel that it is not an issue. The gym had very new and modern equipment so I was able to get in a great workout. Breakfast was amazing and the amenities by the front desk had a great selection that would appeal to those who want to eat healthy and those who prefer more traditional snacks. The price I received for this hotel was a great deal. The staff were great and treated me like royalty. I 100% recommend this ho

    Nice hotel less than a hundred meters from the TaxSlayer Center. Staff is very friendly and seems to do what they can to accommodate their guests. It's a converted warehouse that has transferred between a few hands like Pioneer Transfer & Storage and Sears, Roebuck & Co. The hotel itself has kept that industrial warehouse feel with the pillars, floors, and bricks you can see in the establishment. It has a hipster vibe attached to it with the outlets that have USB plugs, televisions with streaming service options for you to sign into, and breakfasts that serve almond milk and mini crustless quiches. The hotel has one set of washers and dryers located on the 5th floor, which doesn't ever seem fully occupied so it wasn't difficult finding time to do laundry there if you're on an extended stay (Hint: Easy access from stairwell doors versus running around the halls from the elevator to get to this location). Rooms are stocked with dishware/cookware. There's a kitchenette in the studio rooms with an electric stove, sink, and full sized refrigerator. Soap and shampoo dispensers in the shower are liquid economical containers versus individual bars and tubes. There's no tubs, but that's okay for me since the showers were plenty large enough for several people to fit into. What I enjoyed most were the breakfasts that included a yogurt bar, cooked to order eggs (and daily specialty items like Nutella French toast) and buffet style sausage patties and scrambled eggs. There's an evening reception on Mondays-Thursday that offer complimentary beer and wine from a tap as well as cheese and bread. Overall, I had a great experience at this hotel. Only grip I would have is that it is directly adjacent to the train station in Moline. It wasn't out of the norm to be woken up in the middle of the night by a running train. The housekeeping staff here is also on a rotational cleaning schedule for long-term stays, that is they do deep cleans on specific days and light services (IE emptying trash and making your bed) on other days. I noticed at check-in, that they may have not completely cleaned my room appropriately as I found bits and pieces of vegetables in my sink when I first got into the room. Not a big deal, I rinsed and cleaned the sink out myself. Otherwise, a great hotel, in a fair location near plenty of bars and eats, bridge over to Iowa and Rock Island Arsenal access.

    Wow. This hotel impressed right off the bat when I walked in the front doors to a sprawling open concept lobby/breakfast/lounge area. The front desk staff was super friendly and helpful. I had a packaged delivered during my stay and they held onto it for me until I arrived back in the evening. This hotel is so cool. It's in an old warehouse and the rooms feel like unique, modern lofts with high ceilings and exposed brick/ventilation. Plenty of cool bars, restaurants and microbreweries are a short walk away, plus an arena and convention center. Or if you want to drive across the river to Davenport, it's a short and easy drive. Life in the big city in the heart of the Quad Cities! I didn't get a chance to use the gym but I've never seen a hotel gym this massive. Full set of free weights and several treadmills and ellipticals. Did I mention the lap pool? I want to come back to this hotel if for nothing else than to use this gym! The breakfast was, no exaggeration, the best hotel breakfast I've ever had. Free breakfast is free breakfast, but this one was next level. They of course have the standards, but it's their unique daily fresh offerings that really blew my socks off. One day I enjoyed a southwestern torta. Another day it was Nutella pancakes. And the chef is right there ready to take your order and offer one of several daily offerings! Another nice touch was the yogurt bar. If you love breakfast, that alone should sell you on this hotel. I didn't get to partake, but they also offer nightly happy hours with free adult beverages and a chance to socialize. The open concept lobby/lounge really gave off a hostel vibe, which I love. Very much a community feel making it easy to meet other folks as you travel. Parking was free for guests in the lot across the street and there was plenty of it. Even with an active freight train track right next door, you can't tell when you're inside the hotel. I slept like a log in the massive, cushy king bed. The bathroom was bright and modern, and the shower was hot and the pressure was great and made for a relaxing end of the day after being out in the cold Midwest weather in February. The filtered water faucet next to the sink was a game changer as I hate buying bottled water and love filling my reusable bottle. While I never took full advantage of the kitchenette including a stovetop, full sized fridge/freezer, microwave and dishes, if you're on a tight budget and need to eat in, this is an awesome perk. Also, this might sound silly, but I loved the smart tv. I logged into my Netflix and YouTube accounts and that made me feel right at home. I realize this all may sound hyperbolic, but this really does feel like it's the future of hotels. It offers so many amenities I didn't even realize I wanted that I've not seen at other hotels in this price range. Highly recommended - a solid 10/10! #hotels #hotel #travel #hospitality #hotellife #Moline #QuadCities #Davenport #Illinois #Iowa #MississippiRiver #hotelroom #ElementHotel #besthotels #hoteliers #instatravel #traveling #beautifulhotels #relax #like #hotelstyle #breakfast #lifestyle #hotelsandresorts #marketing #travels #hotellife #hotelsandresorts #cleanhotel #hotelstory

    New hotel only two weeks old. Warehouse design with big suites. Lots of room in the warehouse style suites. Excellent breakfast yogurt and eggs specials which are out of this world. I loved the yogurt bar. It's next to train tracks but never heard a train when I slept. I walked to dinner every night. Parking across the street.

    Look at that lighting!

We basically stopped for a pit stop and to stretch our legs (and soak in the hot tub while the kiddos swimmed). Location - Great spot close to the river. There are a couple restaurants and shops close by and within walking distance and you are also very close to the Vibrant Arena and Rock Island. Rooms & Building - My family enjoys Stoney Creek for their upnorth theming and feel. The rooms are always done up nice and are usually pretty large in size. This place did not disappoint. The room came with a fridge, microwave, and a small little bar area. Lots of space to spread out and eat pizza in our room for dinner. Amenities - The pool area is always fun at Stoney Creek. This location had a indoor/outdoor connected pool and the hot tub was large and could fit plenty of people. It was exactly what we wanted in our stay. Food - There is a bar onsite but we made our own drinks and ate pizza. The breakfast buffet was good and offered a lot of cold and hot options. Vibe - Easy going and super friendly staff. No complaints. Reality vs. Online - Pictures that I saw on their website and online matched the quality and condition of the hotel and rooms in-person. No surprises. Price & Final Verdict - As stated before, if there is a Stoney Creek in the town we are staying at, we probably will stay there. For the price vs. quality & experience, you can't find much better. We would stay again!

We had guests running up and down yelling at 4:00 AM and staff did nothing about it. We were in town for a VB event, had 9 families staying and made us pay $100 to use an empty room for two hours so we could order pizza and eat as a team. There is absolutely no reason you should choose this hotel with so many other option within 10 minutes. This place is awful, don't waste your money!

    If staying during the week the offering for food is slim to none, really. It's not even a lot on…read morethe weekends, very limited hours. Even for breakfast we go out in the area for food. A person would think they would have more available on the property itself. The idea is to keep people at the casino and playing. We go off property for lunch also. I don't know maybe a person needs to bring food along like packing for a picknick? ‍We bought two cups of black coffee at $3.50 each and the coffee was barely warm. Many of themed slots they had for years that we did like to play are gone. We have fewer for choices, that's for sure. At least they have kept some of the older slots which is a plus. We had some problems with our room. Our mattress at home is a newer firm mattress. The mattress here appeared to be a newer one and it wasn't firm....it was outright HARD. Just about like laying on a piece of plywood, well almost. My wife could only sleep on it about 3-4 hours and then slept on the couch. That wasn't much more comfortable. Maybe they got some deal on them when they replaced a number of them at once or something? If that's what happened we don't think it was a very good deal. And this is from people such as us that prefer a firm mattress so, IDK. Some problem with HVAC. If you get the temp about correct for the front room the bedroom is very cold. Confusing thermostat, no selection if it's set for heat or A/C. Just arrows up and down for temp. I've never seen a thermostat like that anywhere that I've ever stayed before, not ever. We tried to call down and get a blanket from housekeeping or the front desk but when you press the buttons on the phone for housekeeping or front desk they are "busied out". They just go to a busy signal and that's it. Bad enough if just staying for one night, but more than one night, not good. Seemed like to us that some taking are of the customer is in need.

I went for a morning walk around the property before dawn (staying on sidewalks) and everything was safe (mostly well lit). The gym is large, equipment new and clean, towels are provided, and water dispenser works. No one was using the pool but it's there! Finally, I ordered food from the Bistro restaurant in the lobby. It's usually a bad choice, but not here. They put a lot of effort into the drinks AND food. I got the espresso martini (doesn't need the simple syrup, IMHO) and it was the best I've had in a while (people keep adding weird things to these drinks elsewhere or it ends up being coffee milk-- iykyk). The Turkey Avocado BLT (sans bacon for me) and side arugula salad (fresh baby arugula, cucumbers and tomatoes!!) was large and a great value for 12.50. They don't joke about the Texas toast and they aren't skimping with the avocado. The salad was large enough that I got it "to go" and made it my lunch the next day. The grilled chicken sandwich was also delicious and had fresh ingredients. Honestly, I don't have criticism to provide. Best business trip hotel I've stayed in while traveling in the Midwest.
