We loved our stay at Element! It was very clean, spacious, quiet, breakfast was great, and the hotel amenities were nice! The lobby has a nice large sitting area to enjoy the provided beverages, including cappuccinos, lattes, coffee, water, etc. We were impressed with the cleanliness. Would highly recommend staying here when in the Waco area! Bonus that it's very close to Magnolia Table, which we also thoroughly enjoyed. Great experience, friendly staff, great stay!
