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.

A high quality Hotel, would definitely stay here again. 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.
