Element by Marriott Bozeman

The room was clean and modern, with plenty of space, a couch, and a kitchen. It was basically a JrSuit. The staff were professional and very polite. The location is good, near shops and a great restaurant across the street, though the in-house restaurant was expensive. The local draft beer offered free at 5:30 pm was excellent. Two small snags: Netflix and the other streaming service weren't working on our TV, and cooked breakfast eggs were only egg whites. If you like egg whites, good for you, but I didn't.

The included breakfast was better than people give it credit for, and we were very satisfied. Coffee was available all day, espresso too, and I was hooked. Check-out at noon was really helpful. The customer service was very good, with friendly, polite staff. I'd definitely consider The Element next time.

The room was nice, and ours looked out at a snow-capped mountain. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful with restaurant suggestions. Downtown Bozeman is cute and easy to walk around. Bring your own conditioner, since there's none in the shower or even a place for it. Parking costs $20, which should be included for what they charge.

I had a one-night business stay at the Element hotel and would definitely stay again when I come back to Montana. It's just one street over from Main street in downtown Bozeman, so it was easy to walk to plenty of things to do. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the bed slept well, and the hot water pressure was great in both the bathroom and kitchen area. Element hotels are handy for me because the rooms usually have a kitchen area. There's a quaint little gym on site too. One quick tip: there aren't ice machines, but you can get bags of ice at the front desk.
