The property was very unique, and we loved that it was historical. Staff were extremely nice and even upgraded our room when they learned it was our 30th anniversary. They went above and beyond to provide anything we needed. It was a wonderful experience in every way!

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.

This hotel is a great find next to UT campus. The rooms are on the smaller side but we weren’t there to be in our room. The staff and service was exceptional!

The property is aging and needs to be updated. The beds were comfortable and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The worst part was that I was awakened every time the airconditioner came on. It was blowing so hard the I had to put the covers over my head because it was blowing my hair. Because there was only one small vent for a larger room it heated up very quickly between cycles. Very little sleep and very uncomfortable.

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!

They charged for parking $50 dollars and nobody told me about that when I did the check in. TV didn't work and I waited more than 15 min to pick up my car.

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.

We had an amazing time at Hotel Ella a few weeks ago! Issac is simply the best! He is personable, funny and very accommodating! All three of the valet staff members were great as well! The beautiful boutique hotel is a combination of mid century mod mixed with a neoclassic design. We will definetely be back! Sincerely, The McGowens

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!
