Element Bozeman

Great stay! Fantastic hotel

Realy beautiful hotel near downtown Bozeman. The facility, service, and cleanliness were outstanding. The included breakfast was remarkable and include a delicious cooked to order option (sweet potato hash with eggs). The only negatives were a new construction chemical odor and significant outside noise (sirens, trains, trucks, garbage dumpsters) that interrupted sleep.

Kind staff. Great location. Enjoyed the different breakfast options.

The location is fantastic; downtown Bozeman is full of restaurants, shopping opportunities, coffee shops, bars, and transportation hubs. The rooms are very modern (at least in appearance), which is refreshing considering how many other hotels (even other Starwood lines) are not aging well these days. However, there are some issues/concerns, especially for people bringing their own car. You can either pay to park overnight in the downtown parking garage (which is across the street, but is 100% public), or park in the unlit lot behind the hotel, which is only accessible through an alleyway with a small, easy-to-miss sign indicating the entrance. Additionally, the traffic (especially buses) are very audible if your room is on the south side (the "city side," as the hotel refers to it). Finally, there were some issues with my room specifically: my suite had no ice try for the freezer, the fan for the HVAC duct was loud and continuously cycled on-off, and the motorized blinds only moved a few inches at a time (requiring about 75 seconds to fully raise/lower them).

We stayed two nights prior to taking a trip to Yellowstone. The town is very lively. Plenty to see, two museums, good restaurants near the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. Would stay there again.
