What guests are saying about Elyton Hotel, Autograph Collection.
"The Elyton was an exceptional experience from the first moment. On arriving we were met by the valet who walked us through the app available, which made managing the need for pur vehicle seamless and easy. The front desk was informative, polite and readily accommodated our late checkout request. The hotel itself is gorgeous, with a charm only seen in early 20th century architecture. The room was thoughtfully laid out and spacious with great views. We did not get to experience the dining, but there are two seemingly fantastic options, including a rooftop bar (which has a cover that is waived for guests). Despite the age of the building, it has been updated to seamlessly integrate the history with modern amenities. I cannot express enough gratitude for the front desk staff, both at check-in, and overnight, who were both working on a holiday. Hats off to this location."

They are wonderful and very efficient! Then there is Monica and Jarvis in the hotel restaurant (The Yard) they gave me exceptional service for dinner! You will definitely enjoy your stay here!"

People that do their job thoroughly with a great attitude deserve promotions. Her presence while we were leaving is something that makes me want to come back."
