We had to completely change our honeymoon due to the Coronavirus scare. The cancellation of SxSW allowed us to find the Ella at the last minute (Thursday afternoon before the Saturday wedding). The Parlor suite in the main mansion was a wonderful place for us to celebrate.

Stayed there for six nights, really enjoyed the house the people, and the services. Still a good distance to walk to Downtown (if you like walking at all :-)) You'll find all you need around the corner (University area)

This hotel seems like a tourist trap. The history is interesting, but it's a big letdown. The location is only good if you are visiting a college student in a dorm or other housing. No restaurants other shops within short distances. The place is covered in a layer of old dust and dirt on the drapes carpets, etc. They surfaces behind the bar look like they haven't been cleaned in years. The furniture in the rooms is strange. The beds have nice linen, the towels and wash clothes are nice as are the soaps. The shampoo, conditioner and body wash are in large dispensers so you know prior customers have had to handle them and it just seems really unsanitary. The noise level from the parties, after parties, and dining areas make the make the experience horrible customers not there for the events. Totally unacceptable experience for the price. We spent $700 for 2 nights and didn't rest well or feel comfortable walking an the carpet in our room without socks or shoes on. I would not recommend this place.…

Greetings rvrota, Thanks for your review of us at Hotel Ella. Sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your standards, however I'm happy to jump on a call to discuss everything with you to better understand how we missed the mark. As for comments relating to our location (restaurants, shops), cleanliness in the bar/room, and amenities offered (residential size bottles)-- I'm taken aback as we are typically praised for all of those items! Please feel free to contact me at heith.pino@hotelella.com at your convenience. I look forward to hearing from you. Best, Heith Pino General Manager

I cannot say enough positive things about this hotel! Southern comfort is an understatement. The staff were all very helpful, the restaurant featured a brand new menu and it did not disappoint, and the hotel felt like a home away from home. My friends and I will be recommending Ella for years to come! Thank you!!!

The hotel is lovely, the service is absolutely top notch. They go out of their way to make your stay pleasant. The rooms are nicely appointed and very comfortable. I like to have a tea set up in my room. It is not an amenity usually provided. But when I showed up, it was in my room upon arrival.
