room 220 (march 2024)
one of the best midtier hotels
Verdict: A Solid StayIQ
The Element Sacramento Airport proves to be a savvy choice for travelers who value comfort and convenience, with standout features like its heavenly bed and business-friendly amenities. While a few elements (pun intended) could use polishing, Room 220 ensures you leave well-rested and mostly impressed.
Style Meets Substance... Mostly
The Bed: A Dream Team of Linens and Loft
Room 220’s bed is a near-masterpiece of comfort engineering. With luxurious linens (80%), a cloud-worthy mattress (100%), and pillows that feel like a gentle hug for your head (100%), sleep feels less like a necessity and more like a five-star indulgence. This bed has clearly been given the royal treatment, though perhaps the linens were saving their best for another guest.
The Room: Designed for the Jet-Set and the Zoom-Set
The layout (100%) is a blueprint for modern efficiency, offering plenty of space to spread out or sprawl after a long day. The workspace (100%) is perfectly equipped for productivity, with outlets aplenty (100%) ensuring no device will languish uncharged. However, the view (60%) left something to be desired—possibly a missed opportunity to showcase more of Sacramento’s charms. A note to the design-savvy: the room style (80%) is chic but perhaps just shy of groundbreaking.
The Bath: A Splash of Excellence
The bathroom is a mix of high notes and a few flat ones. Bathroom cleanliness (80%) impresses, while the water pressure and temperature (100%) are the kind of reliable power couple you want in your shower. Unfortunately, the towels (60%) lack the plushness expected at this level, and amenities (60%) feel like they checked out before you checked in.
The Hotel: Strong First Impressions, Slightly Fading Finish
From the lobby’s welcoming vibe (80%) to service that knows its stuff (80%), the Element puts its best foot forward—mostly. The bar/restaurant (80%) keeps palates happy, but the fitness center (60%) and location (60%) don’t quite flex enough muscle to elevate the stay further. As for the noise levels (60%), let’s just say the walls might’ve done well to take a page from the mattress's book.
