Michele

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was spacious and comfortable. Bed and bedding was comfortable. We did not use any of the other hotel amenities. Hotel is very pretty and in/out access to our room was great. Room view is very nice. We had a car and used street parking, which was very easy and convenient. The A/C was really loud and the air coming out of it was blowing so hard it was blowing my hair around while sitting on the bed (from the vent across the room). That was a major complaint of ours. Little touches could be improved though: shower head was terrible, the toilet paper holder was not on properly, elec socket in bathroom was improperly installed, the over the sink bathroom mirror was not practical, please name the nespresso pods (regular, decaf, what even is it?), no wascloths provided.

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.

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.
