Element Orlando International Drive

Christopher Rivas

Our stay at Element Orlando International Drive was absolutely fantastic! The amenities truly set this hotel apart and made our family trip incredibly enjoyable. The pool area was perfect for the kids to splash around and have fun, providing hours of entertainment. We also loved the grill stations available for guests—it was such a unique touch that allowed us to enjoy a great barbecue right at the hotel. One of the highlights for us was the designated smoking area, which was clean and well-maintained. It gave us the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a good cigar after a delicious steak dinner. It’s rare to find a hotel that accommodates all of these needs so seamlessly, and Element Orlando nailed it. The staff was friendly, the facilities were spotless, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. We are very impressed with everything this hotel has to offer. We’ll definitely be returning on our next trip to Orlando! Highly recommended!

The parking lot and entrance was still partly under construction. Also the Elements shares the building with The Loft hotel. That also share the pool and gym. Interesting concept and it makes sense. We did not compare prices … the room had plenty of floor space but not a lot of desk/luggage area. There was a mini fridge/microwave and ample counter space there, with a small sink. AC had a large vent that blew, a little too strong, directly on one of the queen beds. Staff was attentive.

We stayed here for the BlueGreen presentation. The property was generally clean, and the employees, while polite when interacting with guests, mostly kept to themselves. However, we were surprised to learn that parking was not free, as this was not communicated in advance. Additionally, the parking lot and entrance were partly under construction during our stay. The Elements also shares the building with The Loft Hotel, including the pool and gym, which was an unexpected detail. Overall, the stay was decent, better than our experience with BlueGreen after purchasing, where what was promised did not match the actual accommodations.

The hotel is technically pet-friendly, which we appreciated. However, the cleanliness of the room left much to be desired. The carpet was visibly stained, and the pillows emitted an unmistakable odor—best described as stale saliva left to ferment. On a positive note, we valued the presence of laundry and ice machines, which slightly mitigated the otherwise unpleasant stay. The lighting in the room was notably dim—evoking an atmosphere akin to fictional brothels in underdeveloped nations during the 1970s, as described in post-colonial literature. Safety protocols are commendable; we were abruptly awakened by a fire alarm around 4 a.m., followed by a second one hours later. While this speaks well of the alarm system, it certainly tested our nerves. Overall, the experience leaned more toward survival than relaxation.

This is my go-to stay when visiting as it doesn't have the usual Orlando traffic, and it is closed to everything, including the Costco gas station. The rooms are clean and comfortable enough for extended stays. My kids believe it to be their second home. Service is great and so is the breakfast in the morning. Can't wait to go back.
