"Elysium's hospitality is probably it's greatest strength. The staff are very kind, helpful and polite which parallels the profile of its guests. I've stayed at the Elysium 3 times in the last 1.5 years and have the same experience each time. So I know that it's not just who's on the desk or the time of year -- its just the culture of the guest house. I always get a room by the upper pool because it's the one which seems to attract the most people. Since I travel alone, I enjoy the social aspect. That being said, the layout of the place is great as I can sun bath in a variety of areas and meet other people or choose to just lay there and not be bothered by others. The rooms that I've had have all been well maintained and very clean. They are also very large. It's also very well located. It's just 2 blocks from the beach and it has lots of parking spaces so I can easily drive to the gay clubs, restaurants and other places of interest to me. It's also in a very safe environment. I've been to other guest houses in FLL and have chosen to make Elysium my home in Fort Lauderdale. "
