    The rooms tended to be in my opinion a bit small , however that is fairly typical of New York properties.

    Excellent location/ loved the fact there were always snacks/ tea and coffee available up until midnight. Continental breakfast was simple but offered a varied range of pastries/ yogurt/ tea and coffee/

    Met expectations.. Only minor complaint was that our bathroom was quite small, probably due to the fact it is an older hotel.Nice setting and location. Comfortable.

    The bed was very comfortable. Our room was on top floor, so light filled and quiet. Liked also that it was a smaller hotel and the midtown location. The 2nd floor lounge area was a nice feature, where you got a continental breakfast and all day access to snacks and drinks.

    The room (queen bed) was large with an actual two seater sofa, armchair, coffee table and desk fit comfortable at the foot of the bed AND large closet to hang clothes, put shoes etc! Decor was perhaps dated but charming and totally unlike standard hotel decor. The lounge area was great with ample seating, and snacks, water, coffee, tea, etc all day long and it was always cleaned up and fresh looking. Plenty of newspapers in the morning as well. Enjoyed listening to the languages spoken by guests (Italian, German) and everyone was relaxed and courteous. Staff were super friendly and helpful too!

    The room's furnishings are somewhat frayed and tired. This would not normally elicit a comment from me since the room was so comfortable and quiet. But prices were extraordinarily high in mid-December and the price did not match the quality of the room. The first night I was there, I could not get hot water in the shower.

    The location was perfect for me on this trip. The staff was so nice and helpful. My room was quiet and spacious. I had requested a quiet room away from the elevator and utility closets and Elysee delivered! Greatly appreciated. The bed was super comfortable.
