Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
I liked the aesthetic of the hotel and rooms and most of the staff were pleasant. However, I found some things could have been improved upon. My room was the deluxe king room, and the TV cabinet was missing the sliding doors which looked sloppy. Also there was no closet, just an armoire with limited handing space which was hard to organize my things. The carpets also were musky smelling.When I arrived, there were plenty of dirty room service dishes outside of rooms, and they were not picked up for at least 2 days. I dined in the restaurant for dinner my first night, and the food and service were really good. However, I attempted to dine again twice for breakfast but did not enjoy those experiences. The waiter on one day seemed annoyed to be working, which made it uncomfortable. The next day, there was only a waitress on staff that seemed overwhelmed with only 3 tables. I was left for 30 minutes with the menu with no service which was a waste of time. Lastly, the elevator was broken for three days which could be inconvenient for those with mobility issues or when brining or removing luggage from the upper floors. I hope to return to Austin, but don't think I will come back to this hotel.

Beautiful old mansion remade as a hotel. The side building however lacks the same grandeur. Rooms show wear and limited in-room comforts like an ironing board are missed. The in-room dining is extremely limited. Lighter options and snacks would be a good idea. That said, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The young man tending bar in the lounge is especially charming and welcoming.

Very friendly and professional staff. Clean and well maintained. My room’s coffee machine did not work , so the on-site manager came within 5 minutes and relocated to another room, a great one. A bit expensive since only valet parking is available but I will say the money is well spent. Five star overall.

Needs a serious refresh

Hotel Ella is a family mansion converted into a supposedly hotel. I don’t the conversion was complete or smart. Take for example the bathrooms for guest on the entry level. They are located outside the main house and remind me of campground bathrooms. There’s small elevator that 1 person can take otherwise you have use the stairs. The rooms need a total refresh, paint, new linens and drapes, storage in the bathroom because there is none, new electrical outlets that have USB slots and new carpet. There’s on site small bar with some food and a restaurant that was closed for private event on my visit. It looked nice. Redeeming qualities: fish tacos were excellent; the outdoor space and front porch are very nice. Staying in the auxiliary building not so nice. Location is great. Won’t stay until they do a serious and much need renovation.
