Good hotel
This is an old mansion reworked into a hotel. The beds and pillows and AC were very comfortable, indeed above the price level. The bathroom was small and the vanity mirror was beveled in an pretty but non-functional way, so that if you are height of an average woman, the wood frame splits right in the middle of your face. There was a make up magnifier mirror though. Nonetheless, I wonder if those who order furniture consider such things.

Love staying here. One area of coaching- the lunch waiter was bored, yawning loudly. Kind of weird. I never signed a check so I have no idea if he put his tip on? Also, the lobby smelled like really strong garlic or curry on Thursday for about 24 hours. Just a few things I noticed. Lovely front desk personnel!

Not my favorite location as basically off a major road. The hotel was ok but could use a refresh. The lion in the hallway seemed strange.

Good hotel
Was a nice room in downtown. I got it for a business trip and I don't think this is really a business hotel. It would be perfect for a family or couple vacation though. So if not for business, it is definitely a nice hotel in a good location

We only stayed at this hotel for one night to attend a concert at Moody Center. The location was convenient - we took an Uber there and walked back. The hotel's appearance was quite impressive, and the welcoming nature of the front desk staff especially struck us. They truly made our night special. A very kind gesture that we greatly appreciated!

We have stayed at Hotel Ella several times at always enjoy our stay. But this time I felt compelled to give a special shout out to Daniel West at the front desk and Elli, our valet. These two employees went up and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us. Thanks!

Wonderful find
What a gem of a place. It was clean, quiet and had great character. The location is incredibly convenient, and the service I received was excellent. The front desk employee really went above and beyond for me—that’d be reason enough for me to return. I certainly hope to stay here again in the future.

Beautiful boutique hotel with an excellent staff. The porch was so nice to sit and just watch life go by. I did not try the pool but it was pretty to look at. I wasn't thrilled about the view from our room (trash dumpsters and really bad apartment complex) but the room was nice. The room had a refrigerator but not a microwave which would have been helpful. The toilet and shower head could use an upgrade :)
