What guests loved the most

“Front desk staff was very helpful, I had several bags and couldn't manage by myself. Also, your employee made sure I was connected to WiFi. Elements staff were very pleasant. The young fellow who helped me with my bags to Via Rail was kind. I was tired after closing up my brother's apartment. He passed away New Year's Eve. I was grateful to stay in a lovely room and soak in a deep tub. I also liked the soaps and lotions.”
