Pros:

A beautiful property, with lovely room and a decent location

Cons:

Unfortunately to park on the property you must use the valet for $50 per day. That unpleasant experience upon arrival leaves a bitter taste in your mouth.

Pros:

Main building was a well-maintained historic building.

Cons:

The hotel was understaffed during a major event happening in the city. Service at front desk and restaurant were very slow due to lack of staff.

Small Wedding
Pros:

We checked into Hotel Ella for our December elopement. We immediately felt at home with how kind the staff is, amazing food, and easy atmosphere. It’s a gorgeous and lovely space perfect for a slow morning, evening out, or special ceremony. We can’t wait to join for many more celebrations to come!

Laid back but super special
Pros:

This is my third stay--staff is delightful, bed very comfortable. Location if you're in the University area is awesome. Love the fun historic, old Austin, laid back and comfortable but still schmancy vibe. Restaurant is a win.

Cons:

Like it all!
