Room was great—clean, comfortable, and attractive. However our main issue came from the valet protocol. Please advertise valet only and or mention options of parking on the street. If valet is only possible, include it in nightly fee. The current system is misleading and appears to simply be a cash grab

Hotel was nice and clean but there was a mixup with the rooms and another couple was given access to our room and took some of our belongings. Hotel Ella was supposed to refund us for the missing items but have yet to receive anything.

Geeat historical hang

I was so excited to stay here. I passed this building all the time as an architecture student. The staff is very nice and accommodating. We had a mini suite (which is an extra roomy room) and it was adjacent to the old balcony area next to the columns. We had a friend come and we ate dinner out there with food ordered from the hotel. Everything was tasty, and delivered with gusto. It was fun

Had a wonderful stay, in Austin for a concert at the Moody Center and Hotel Ella was conveniently located. The staff was courteous, helpful, and professional. We will stay again, but hopefully we book when there isn’t a wedding. Several amenities are not available to guests that are not guests of the wedding.

It’s not the staff’s fault but they simply did not have enough people on staff during my stay and therefore the service was really slow and the staff was obviously comfortable with it. Seemed like no manager was on site.
