Great location and cool property. Will definitely stay here again. Would recommend putting tile or engineered wood under and around the sink area rather than carpet. Other than that, Hotel Ella gets an A+

The room was spotless, and the bartender was incredibly friendly, which made me feel especially comfortable as a solo traveler. I felt completely safe and truly loved every aspect of the hotel. The bed was very comfortable, the shower had excellent water pressure, and the drinks were fantastic. The valets and front desk staff were all extremely warm and welcoming. I will absolutely be staying here again.

Great location nice room ,loves the bed linens smelled so fresh. Only downside was like any big intercity hotel parking was expensive it was 33 precent of the total room cost, that seems excessive.

This hotel is in a historic home. It’s beautiful and the front desk staff is fantastic. Unfortunately they did not have hot water in the hotel and the valet was atrocious. We waited more than 35 minutes for our car.
