“Trip to downtown Atlanta”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

This visit was for our anniversary. The Ellis was very fashionable. The room was a little small, but the bed, linens, and shower were all great! I loved the modern feel of the decor. We ate at the on-site restaurant and enjoyed several cocktails. There were things to do in the area, but not much within walking distance.

“Skip this hotel!!! Pick another.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

The hotel was unclean, loud, abd service was poor. Despite the great location, this hotel isn't worth staying at. The walls were paper thin, volume on remote was broke, thermostat was broken and my $25 breakfast came with a piece of toast. It is extremely over priced for what your getting. Other hotels around tbd area are better.

I would like to have a chance to rebuild your trust in our hotel and invite you back to enjoy a complimentary one night stay. Please contact me directly to discuss.

“Good location hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 12, 2013

I stayed at the Ellis early march on a business trip. Location is good, rooms are great- especially the bathroom.
Only complaint from a business traveller perspective is that breakfast only starts at 7 and takes a while to get going. The breakfast staff were really helpful but I think the breakfast experience could be made "Sharper" as time is always tight in the morning. If i was using the hotel for a holiday it would have been no sweat.

Nonetheless, a good find.

Dear TopFrog, thank you for your recent stay with us-I'm glad you enjoyed the location, our rooms and staff. I apologize your breakfast experience wasn't sharp enough-our Terrace Bistro is a new addition to the hotel but are off to a great start and will be sharp before we know it:) We hope to see you next time you're in Atlanta, whether on business or leisure.
Sincerely,

“Wonderful boutique hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 8, 2013

I stayed here for a night about two weeks ago, and I was very impressed with the customer service right off the bat. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room, while small, was very well laid out and felt much larger than it was. I loved the shower and the amount of counter space in the bathroom. I would stay here again.

“Nice hotel, little peace”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 5, 2013

Booked this hotel to get my wife out of the house have a good meal and get some piece and quiet. All happened but the latter.
First I would like say the rooms are small but updated and clean, very comfortable bed, and a decent size bathroom with shower only. The hotel is small so the bar, lobby and restaurant are small. The staff was ok with the exception of the bellman who was great and should be given a managers position for his courtesey and professionalism.
Now the bad... and I will say it is not all the hotels fault. They are doing street construction outside and have laid down metal plates. Everytime a car goes over it it sounds like 2 gunshots. We were on the 8th floor and it sounded like it was just outside. if i had been on a lower floor I would have asked for my money back.The HVAC system is very loud so I turned it to auto(big mistake as it at least is loud white noise and may have masked other noise) Besides the construction and the cab driver fight at 4 am the plumbing was very loud. Everytime a toilet flushed around us it woke us up. Also the shower which has a nice shower head and pressure leaked out on the bath floor and in gallons (bad door seal). Like I said nice hotel with some noise issues. The windows should have more noise proofing.

Room Tip: Do not stay on the front side of the building until street constuction is complete. Keep the HAVC sy...

Dear rwsdsc1 ,
Thank you for your recent stay and for the kind words about our staff and rooms. We're also unhappy about the construction and all the noise that comes with it; however we're glad to be a part of Atlanta's success and are being patient as the city is undergoing the Street Car project.
I see that your experience was not as peaceful as it should have been and I would like to correct that. We would like to invite you back when construction is completed to enjoy the true Ellis experience-all about relaxation and good sleep! Please contact me next time you're planning a trip to Atlanta.
Sincerely,
Olya
