Element Melbourne Oceanfront

This is a very nice hotel and very modern. It was close to local stores where you could grab things you may have forgotten. A super Walmart was less than a mile away in a shopping center. The confusing part is that the entire first floor is a parking garage, and the hotel is on the second floor. It gave my Uber driver and myself a second to figure out where to drop me off. I booked this room with friends as we were leaving the next day for our cruise. The port wasn't far from this location, and an Uber got us there pretty quickly for about $35 one way. The breakfast wasn't the greatest, and that could have used some work. The French toast was a bit dry, and the only egg option was a frittata with tomatoes and corn. The only other recommendation is a shuttle service from MCO to the location. Some might be reluctant to book this hotel for their cruise when your Uber/Lyft to the location is $115 or more if you go private transportation, even if they do only a couple times a day; that would make a difference. Overall, I would stay here again, but NOT if I had to get on a cruise the next day. I would much rather find a hotel that provides a shuttle for some part of it

Hutch at the Marriott Element has provided exceptional service! Checked in yesterday and he was so accommodating, allowing me to off load my car in stages, Coming in tonight, he greeted me by my name and I haven't seen him in 30 hours. Well done Hutch!

Stayed at the new Element Melbourne Oceanfront in December 2024, and I can confidently say this place exceeded my expectations. The location is fantastic, and the staff truly made our stay memorable. Special thanks to Arsenio, who was incredibly helpful over the phone before our arrival and during check-in. Every member of the front desk team, the ladies working the breakfast area, and the parking staff were friendly, attentive, and professional. The included breakfast was a standout—definitely a cut above what most hotels in this class offer. I loved the organic options, and having made-to-order eggs in such a bright, inviting setting was a great way to start the day. The pool area was spacious with plenty of comfortable seating, and I appreciated the thoughtful touch of offering free bikes to borrow—it’s such a nice way to explore the area. While the rooms weren’t huge, they were well-equipped, clean, and very comfortable. Everything felt fresh and modern, which isn’t always the case at beachfront properties. Overall, this property is a step above what you typically find at other hotels in the area. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again—it’s a perfect spot for a relaxing and enjoyable beach getaway!
