Had to go outside to get to the room. Room was small and air vent blew right on us. $45 per night for the car was excessive

Loved the look of it and the location.

One didn’t have easy access to the car 24/7. Very early hour check out, even though we gave all the heads up, was problematic.

Location was very good. Staff were very nice. Keith at the reception was wonderful.

Pricey, cost of parking is separate and there’s really no other choice.

Location and atmosphere, could use room darking shades on pool side.

Swimming pool I inviting due to overwhelming water feature always on !! We thought original restaurant was special when we booked turned out not to have a real chef part time student staff . Not up to expectations as per web site. Very expensive per night over F1 weekend for the quality.

The rooms were very ordinary, view was of a fence, more seating and better use of the room square footage would be better

Looked a little worn around the edges. Shelves in room had veneer stripped off and pool chairs were torn at edges.

Great pool, staff and room.

It was a surprise for our anniversary to my wife but the room was canceled before we arrived unbeknownst to me and we had to stay elsewhere our first night. The inconvenience of having to locate another room at 11 p.m. was a bad start to a great weekend.

I was pleased with the accommodations as well as the amenities despite not getting to use them all. I also like the fact that after a rocky start to our stay the hotel staff was able to rebound and go above and beyond to help make our stay memorable.

Room, pool, Lobby

All the physical aspects are great. The staff was fairly off putting though and the valet was 15-20 minute wait most times irrespective of whether they were busy or not.

It’s a small hotel since it’s in an old mansion, so the rooms can feel small. They could update their gym equipment as well.

I like that it offers a different experience as a boutique hotel.

No laundry service. I queried with the staff who had no idea, the receptionist was new and asked the person from the restaurant who said they would find out. No-one got back to me, so when I got back that evening, I went to follow up and new people were there who also didn't know the answer. Very noisy airconditioner

The overall feel of the hotel

It is hard to find your room.

I booked through Hotel Ella's website which directs you to Booking.com. Per my booking.com reservation, I received an email with the quoted prices including pricing of $25 per night for valet parking. It noted the total price did not include 17% tax or a resort fee of 6%. When I got my receipt via email long after we had left the hotel, I noticed I was overcharged for both parking and resort fees. It took 3 phone call and 2 emails to finally get someone to refund the overcharge and I only noticed the credit on my credit card account as no one from the hotel ever responded via email or phone. They also didn't refund the entire overcharge, and offered no explanation or apology.

We stayed here when my daughter was at UT Orientation. It is a great location walking distance from campus with very nice decor, comfy bed and clean room. We enjoyed the historic aspect of the main hotel and had tasty drinks and appetizers in the bar one night. I swam in the pool one afternoon and there was bar service available poolside if you like. The pool is tiny but nice to cool off in and has nice fountains and in Austin it is so hot so it was a welcome amenity.

The room we stayed in had large square footage, which was used weirdly inefficiently - a tiny bathroom with a huge empty anteroom, for example. A table and a couple of chairs would also fit nicely in this room but there was no table.

Great location, the building is historic and very interesting, the rooms are large. The beds and comforters were very good. The staff was very pleasant and helpful every time I spoke to them.
