ELEMENT BY MARRIOTT CHANDLER FASHION CENTER, Chandler

The hotel sits on Chandler Village Drive, placing it within a short walk of the Chandler Fashion Center and dozens of chain and local restaurants, including Wetzel's Pretzels, Chipotle, PF Chang's, and Firebirds Wood Fired Grill - all about 0.5 km away. Sea Life Arizona is 14 km from the property, and Phoenix Zoo is 23 km. The location is well-suited for car-based travel, with easy highway access and paid on-site parking available, but no airport shuttle. For those without a car, the proximity to shops, dining, and entertainment makes the immediate area walkable. The hotel is also a practical base for work commutes around Chandler, Tempe, and Gilbert.

Rooms are available in configurations with one king or two queen beds, plus some with a sofa bed - all described as spacious and suitable for families or extended stays. Each room includes a fully equipped kitchen with a stovetop, full-size refrigerator (though some rooms may have a mini fridge), dishwasher, microwave, and cookware/kitchen utensils. The bathroom features a walk-in shower with strong water pressure. Additional in-room amenities include air conditioning, heating, a tea and coffee maker, a seating area, a work desk, a wardrobe, and a safety deposit box. The bedding is comfortable, though some sofas and pillows may be less so. Noise transfer between floors can be an issue in some rooms. The general standard of furniture and finishes may show wear, and cleanliness in some rooms has been inconsistent.

Breakfast is included in many rates and offers a limited but sufficient selection to start the day: scrambled eggs, breakfast sandwiches, yogurt, granola, fruit, pastries, and cereal. Options are primarily continental with hot items, but do not include meat, pancakes, or waffles. An attendant is typically present to replenish and clean. In the evenings, the hotel runs a complimentary social hour with beer, wine, and light snacks such as nibbles and cheese - a practical option for a light dinner. There is no on-site restaurant, but the adjacent Chandler Fashion Center and surrounding area provide numerous dining choices within a short walk, from fast-casual to full-service. A children's buffet is available, and champagne/wine can be purchased.

The saltwater outdoor pool is open daily from 07:00-22:00 and includes a fence, sun loungers, umbrellas, and pool/beach towels. The pool is not heated, which may limit comfortable use in cooler months. The fitness centre is free to use and is described as a great workout space. Additional leisure amenities include free bicycle rental, a sun terrace, outdoor furniture, an outdoor fireplace, and BBQ facilities. A golf course is available within 3 km for an additional charge.
