    Weddings are often hosted at property, advance or posted notice of common area closures and alternate accommodations would be helpful. A charming place to stay.

    The place is beautiful with great spacious rooms. The front desk clerk was very helpful. The valet guys were awesome. The only issues we has was the AC struggled to keep up in the restaurant. Felt bad for the waiter as he was drenched. He kept apologizing and said they put a ticket in to repair. We skipped dinner there after the first night. Breakfast was not as hot. Also a few of the waiters seemed to be having bad days as they were not a s friendly. Overall we would stay again due to room and valet was top notch but plan our evenings at another restaurant.

    Attended a wedding that was held at Hotel Ella and also stayed on site! Great location, fun pool and the room we had overlooking the pool was nice. The front desk staff, Austii and Noah were very helpful as well! Only downside- better AC needed in main lobby and the overnight valet parking is expensive but the valet guys were great!

    I really enjoyed my stay at this quaint hotel. Excellent value and walking distance to UT campus and my conference venue, but had a nice and quiet refuge atmosphere. Staff was excellent, friendly and courteous.

    If you know you will need your car before 7am, make sure the front desk has the clicker to let you out of the parking lot, or you will sit there until valet shows up AND still get charge $50 for your time.

    Nothing like the photos. Motel level accommodations with a nice restaurant & kind waiter. The motel level was hidden under a decorative veneer. Price too high for the reality of accommodations & services rendered.

    I’ve stayed at our hotel a number of times .. alas I had to cancel a day before arrival because my meeting was canceled .. I called the hotel and let them know .. however was told I had to call hotels.com to cancel.. let the hotel know that I was going to cancel .. tried to call hotels.com that same day but was not able to get through . So called the next day that said day of arrival they called the hotel and was told they would not be able to cancel at that short notice.. so lost out out on the full cost of the hotel .. so not happy
