I stayed there then came back a week later. Both trips were a great experience.
Everyone on the staff both during the night and day was real friendly.
Hotel was clean. Breakfast in the morning was typical. The social at night was nice. Convenient to a bunch of things and the highway. I went the back way to the car rental return and avoided construction and highways.

Two days on unexpected trip and took a chance. Nice rooms well equipped and clean. Free wifi free breakfast free wine/beer and snacks. An exercise room that's not claustrophobic and free airport and local shuttle. That's what I call a winner when you pair it with professional, helpful staff. AND it's green!

We happen to visit Irving on my business trip of 7 weeks and was put up at Element. To start with. the room layout, the facilities in the room is of excellent standards and quality. Breakfast served is a class apart. Having stayed in so many business hotels, this was an amazing experience.
Location wise, very near to all the good eateries.

Over and above everything, the staff is very very courteous. they make you feel that they are there to make you feel good all through out your stay.

I would strongly recommend this place to everyone who plans for a short or extended stay.

I found Element hotel on TripAdvisor while caught in Dallas airport for what turned out to be 2 days thanks to inclement weather in the North East. The outstanding driver picked me up at the airport (all the hotel staff has been stellar), and helped me make what was an unpleasant situation as good as could be. The hotel is immaculate, and the rooms are beautifully designed and functional. My king studio, though not much bigger than regular king rooms, had a fully functional kitchen and high quality furniture, including an ergonomic chair which is great for computer work (wireless is free). The (included) breakfast is simple, but of high quality, and amenities / hotel design are relatively "green" (I was impressed by the seventh generation dish soap for instance). The location is, well, it is what it is: my room overlooked a parking lot, including a 24h McDonalds... If you are a pedestrian, your options for food and entertainment are limited (Irving's definition of sidewalks is interesting), though the hotel car with take you to any desired location within a 5 mile radius (for free!) and they let you borrow free bikes (considering that all roads nearby are highways, I sincerely would not recommend the bike, though, unless you need an adrenaline rush...). Options within crawling distance include the hotel "pantry" (the hotel does not have a real bar or restaurant), which has frozen meals, snacks (including a few healthier options) and drinks, including decently priced (as far as hotels go) beer, and a limited selection of wines. I purchased an excellent French unoaked chardonnay to accompany a pizza and salad I got at a small pizza join in the adjacent mall (Cavelli - napolitan style thin crust pizza; Margarita and the 'cavalli salad' were both excellent). There is a Starbucks (with very limited seating - don't plan to lounge there!) in walking distance if you need a latte fix bad. For the price, I was very very impressed by the quality, comfort and cleanliness of the hotel (did not use the pool or the very well equipped gym as I did not have the equipment). Lastly, big kudos to whomever is in charge of hiring at this location!
