The room is spacious and very clean. The cozy little bar in the hotel serves light meals, and the bartender was personable and fun to listen to as she shares her stories. They also offer valet service, which was fantastic. We felt very comfortable and relaxed, and I would highly recommend Hotel Ella if you're in Austin, TX.

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.
