    The Element hotel bar was very cozy! The drinks were very affordable for a hotel bar! I got a glass of wine for $12. This is a nice place to catch up with friends.

    I've stayed here a total of 42 nights recently and honestly it's become my little home base in Reno. The rooms are clean, modern, and have that at-home feel which is amazing for long stays. The front desk staff is always friendly and super accommodating, no matter what I need. I've already recommended the Element to a few friends traveling through and they ended up loving it too. Great location, great service, and consistently a great stay. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

    This hotel in Reno ticks all the right boxes for a business traveler. It's part of a new development--just 18 months old--so everything feels fresh and modern and pristinely clean. The location is ideal: close to the airport, walkable to a movie theater, and a Sprouts for any quick grocery needs. Self-parking was a breeze too. Rooms are efficiently laid out but still spacious, with a comfortable bed, fridge, microwave, and even a kitchen sink--perfect for a quick trip or an extended stay. The hotel canteen offers essentials like charging cords (for $20) in the event you forgot yours, and the bar has a great happy hour to wind down after a workday. The only slight downside was that my room faced a busy road, and even with earplugs, I could occasionally hear loud vehicles. That said, the overall experience was top-notch, and the friendly staff really rounded things out. Would definitely stay here again. Bonus, they had spa water near the elevators. Delicious!

    The Element Reno was a good stop for us. It was a 2 night stay for us. We had made reservations months in advanced. Since we would be there on New Year's Eve, we asked if they could give us a room facing downtown so that we could see the fireworks. It took a while, but, the front desk clerk finally found a room on the 2nd floor. Our room was was nice sized. It had 2 queen beds, a sofa, a small workstation, and a kitchen with an electric stove. The bathroom was nice and modern. Soap, shampoo and conditioner were from Pharmacopia. The room was comfortable. Breakfast is served downstairs in the morning. Like other Element properties, they have a chef that cooks the main breakfast dish. They made avocado toast and French toast the mornings that I stayed. In addition to the one dish the chef makes, they also have breads, fruit, yogurt and coffee & juices. Their gym was well equipped with treadmills, ellipticals and weights. The temperture in the gym was very cold the nights I used it. It was a good gym that gave me a good workout. A pool and hot tub are located outside with people using it in the cold weather. Parking is available outside in the parking structure. It was a good property. We enjoyed it. We even got to see fireworks to ring in the New Year.

    The room and environment were very clean. However, the size was a bit smaller compared to the regular suites we've stayed in. Breakfast was included, but the quality of the avocado toast varied depending on who prepared it each day. On the first morning, it was simply served with egg and avocado spread, but on the second morning, it was much better, topped with cheese, onion, and bacon. When booking this hotel, the description mentioned a hot tub, but it did not meet expectations--it wasn't hot at all. Additionally, the swimming pool was cold and not heated as advertised. While the staff were kind and accommodating, the facilities did not live up to what we had anticipated.

    5 stars for decor, cleanliness, location, and parking. 2-3 stars for the paper thin walls and the amount of pets at this location. I know the hotels are pet friendly but I ran into a dog or cat at every turn. I'm not a fan of hair or slobber either. In addition when the pet is allowed to walk right next to where the coffee cups are displayed - that's gross and I don't know why pet owners aren't more considerate of that. The walls are a bit thin and you can hear people talking outside. We were on the fifth floor and I could hear a conversation on the main floor parking lot. The coffee machine was broken and this is a new spot so that was another little pain point. The plus is the infused water - yummy!!! The room itself is ok. Toilet paper holder is very hard to reach. The lights work oddly and the doors aren't the best.

    After staying a week in a rustic, homey cabin in South Lake Tahoe, it was so nice to come stay somewhere more modern! Even though we were only here for a night, there were some things that we really loved about Element: -Very clean -Sophisticated, modern aesthetic -Free breakfast -Wine, beer, cheese "relax" hour in the evening -Nice amenities - laundry room, gym, pool and hot tub (so surprised people were in the pool in December!), also saw bikes in the lobby but didn't get to use them -Nearby parking garage -Fresh fruit water in lobby -Good location near restaurants, convenience stores, and airport (2 miles) There were, however, a couple minor inconveniences. When I asked someone at the front desk about laundry, she insisted I needed quarters for the machines and proceeded to give me change for $10. When I got up to the laundry room, none of the machines took coins and I realized I could have actually paid via QR code. A bit frustrating to have to carry around a ton of change. Additionally, our late checkout request wasn't noted so our room keys stopped working and we couldn't get into the parking garage. Nothing major, just a bit inconvenient.

    Recent stay over a weekend at this clean, well-appointed and spacious hotel. We stayed in a king studio suite and it had lots of room, a large refrigerator, stovetop, microwave and dishes/dishwasher. Bathroom was good size with walk in shower (no tub). The shower could use a mat, floor was very slippery; but water temp and pressure was good. Large sink area with tons of counter space. King bed was comfortable and lots of blankets and soft feather pillows. Tv was large and had a good selection of channels. Couch in room was full size and comfy for hanging out. Kitchenette even included a small island/countertop with 2 barstool. Desk with power under TV for those traveling for work. Lots of usb and regular outlets in the room too. Central heating and air with digital thermostat. Room was a bit dark when big window was closed/covered for privacy. Staff were friendly and attentive. They have breakfast in the morning and apps in the evening included in the room rate. Nice to have ice water and fruit out during the day as desired. We didn't use the pool or gym this trip but location has both. Parking is great with its own garage (2 level). However if you have a trailer outside the garage parking is very limited. Call the hotel ahead of time if you are bringing a trailer to be sure this policy hasn't changed. My favorite hotel floorplan in this Reno area.

    Looking for a beautiful, modern & clean hotel? Look no further. As you walk in you're greeted with a mid century rustic ambiance with fruit infused water served just to the right of the check-in desk. There's plenty of open seating in the lobby if you need to hang out and wait for any traveling buddies or for an Uber ride. Here's some of the things I enjoyed: -Our tv in our room had a personalized message on it with our name on it, such a great touch! -Pretty good breakfast buffet, which included freshly made crepes w/your choice of strawberries, blueberries, banana as toppings, egg frittatas, bacon, oatmeal station, pastry station with cereal dispensers, bagel & English muffin station, variety of juices and coffee. *Only caveat is that the breakfast dining area is a bit discombobulated -- the layout was a bit odd. The cream cheese for bagels were outside by the drinks, the spoons were only available next to the oatmeal station, napkins were placed in random spots, not next to the main crepe station where there are forks and knives, etc. -Our king bed room included a mini fridge, coffee maker, a sink, microwave, a toaster and mugs. The the bathroom was also very clean and modern with a rainfall shower head. -King bed was comfy and so were the pillows! If you're traveling with a newborn, the standard room was very accommodating. We could heat up water in the coffee maker to warm up our bottle, and store our milk in the freezer. You can also bathe the baby in the sink by padding it with a few towels. Oh, and there was dish soap at the kitchenette sink to wash baby bottles! If we're back in the area, we'll definitely be back! By the way, they have good customer service. Front desk folks were very welcoming, and even allowed us to a do late checkout. Thank you staff!

    3.5 stars! I had a wonderful stay here for a last minute trip. The hotel was really nice, and from previous reviews the hotel was opened sometime last year around December 2022. The lobby and rooms are very sleek in design. Staff was very friendly, and breakfast (7AM-10AM) was made to order, which was a nice touch. During my stay they served French toast! They also have your usual breakfast items such as bagels, English muffins, cereal, various pastries, etc. Our room was very nice; however with a few caveats. My room was placed on the street side so it was very noisy during the night, I could hear loud motorcycles throughout the night. The room included a small kitchenette area with a microwave and sink with filtered water. I didn't have to go outside of my room to refill my water bottle. The room came with a small coffee machine, but it was very apparent that it was not cleaned. There was still coffee stains all over it, so I don't think it got cleaned well. I didn't use it since the hotel serves 24 hour coffee and tea anyway. Lastly, OMG the shower is a HAZARD!!! The shower floor is very slick and not textured to prevent slipping. It would be nice if the hotel provided with some sort of shower mat. I caught myself slipping a few times using the shower, so proceed with caution. There's no handle bars in the shower, and no shelves to place your toiletries on. Whoever designed these showers did not have safety in mind! The rainfall showerhead is a nice touch though. The pool and hot tub is located on the second floor on the rooftop. There was a donut floatie in the pool and kid floaties provided. It was nice to use the pool area during at night, and you can see the illuminated tree from above. Very pretty! Pool hours are from 6AM-11PM. There is a parking garage for hotel guests near the hotel, you need a hotel key to enter in. On the Marriot website it says it's $10 per day for parking, however I wasn't charged so that was pretty nice. There was ample parking during my stay. I would stay here again in the future, but I'd recommend requesting a room far away from the busy streets.

It was the loudest hotel room I've ever stayed in: Vegas. California, New York - Manhattan, Brooklyn - no comparison. And this was on a normal night. The walls were so thin that even though I wore earplugs all night I could barely sleep. The next night I understood why a sound machine was bedside. I plugged it in for white noise and it helped a little. I'm sure it's a great bar at night, i.e. the rest of the reviews. Not a great hotel. I understood why no staff is present and there's no front desk. They'd have complaints every night; there are two other street-side rooms. I let management know via email and they offered coffee and "breakfast" the next morning. They also offered 15% off a future stay but why. I booked direct and paid $80+ more a night than usual. How about a partial refund? What was very disappointing was no coffee in the morning for two days. I booked this hotel in part because there was a cafe downstairs. The cleaning woman, who was the only person on staff present, said the baristas just didn't show up. I got a croissant before I left and the fill-in barista, though very sweet, had no experience. They said this a few times without any prompting and I tipped them well and felt sorry they had to show up and try to figure out the espresso machine. Though it was no fault of theirs, this hotel really didn't live up to its aesthetic or basic services. I wouldn't have even written this review if management didn't have the audacity to text me twice during my workday asking for one. So, here you go, Caner. Please stop now. And Yelpers. don't book a street-side room at this hotel.

Super construction going on and the parking lots are a mess, you don't know to go right or left and I got lost finding entrances even after 3 days.really dirty too. 2. The dirt doesn't stop there. Our first room we were given was so smokey I mean burning eyes smokey. There was a box fan sitting outside the room so I think they tried to air it out but it was like someone burned a cigar in there and just closed the door. 3. After going thru a room swap we were given another room. Fine but there was a dirty rag left in the bathroom counter with hairs all over it. Not a huge deal but still, come on right? 4. The late check out. Went to the front desk night before to make sure late check out was ok since we were at an event that morning. No problem they said you got until 4 with an additional fee. Great right? Nope since our room was a room that was attached to a suite they needed us out before that. Just come on again! 5. The service is just rude everywhere. I mean everyone you encounter! The Rim restaurant guy host in a suit..., I'm convinced was high as a kite. Don't believe me, go there and talk to him, holy! The security desk, rude and unhelpful. Anyone you call on the phone from the room, rude. I'm not expecting Disney customer service, but come on man! Someone teach these guys some customer service skills. So the good.... The resort is really cool. Bowling video games, nice casino, everything to spend a fun weekend. We may even come back just to do the pool and stuff to do there. To wrap it up... Lower your expectations. Your not going to get the cleanest room. Most certainly you will be treated rudely. It's a place that could be so epic but falls short due to just taking short cuts in the customer service, organization and just plain care about your whole experience factor. P.S. you will receive at least 5 text messages telling you about how great their spa is.

The room was okay--nothing special, but no major complaints. The Starbucks is always packed, which seems to be the norm here. Today, I visited the Second Street Marketplace downstairs. The young employee who assisted me had very poor customer service. He didn't acknowledge me, didn't offer a bag for the items I purchased, didn't say thank you, and seemed more interested in chatting with his coworkers than helping customers. Based on what I observed, I wasn't the only customer having issues with him. We also requested housekeeping service for our room. We were informed there would be a charge, which was fine with us. However, after the service, the room looked exactly the same. The bed was made, but that was about it. Now, let's talk about the restaurant downstairs. I ordered a steak, but they brought me chicken instead. I clearly told the waitress I wanted steak. When I pointed out the mistake, another older employee insisted that what I was served was steak. I'm pretty sure I know the difference between chicken and steak. Fortunately, Teddy stepped in, listened to my concern, apologized, and had my order corrected. That is what great customer service looks like. Even our waitress suggested that I just eat the chicken, but guests should never be told to accept something they didn't order. The casino and the room itself were good, and I enjoyed those aspects of my stay. However, many of the staff members could benefit from additional customer service training. To corporate, management, the CEO, owner, or whoever is responsible: please invest in better customer service training. Your guests deserve a better experience. #CustomerService #Management #Hospitality #GuestExperience

I know the hotel can easily refund me such a fee, but they chose not to. Beware if you stay here - they can just charge your credit card as they like, it seems.
