Room was great—clean, comfortable, and attractive. However our main issue came from the valet protocol. Please advertise valet only and or mention options of parking on the street. If valet is only possible, include it in nightly fee. The current system is misleading and appears to simply be a cash grab

The room and hotel were very clean, and the staff was courteous. The internet password was not provided and I couldn't reach the front desk by phone to get it, nor was anyone available when I walked down to desk.

There was no staff at the check-in desk when I arrived, which was fine as I was heading to the in-house bar to meet a friend. Bar service was friendly and made excellent cocktails. I did arrive mid afternoon on a Sunday and the hotel in general was not busy. The room was clean and large. The valet made sure it was easy for me to get my car the next morning for a 6 AM check out. The lobby offers coffee and water, but unfortunately, the coffee was not ready when I was checking out.

We were in room 108 and it felt a little like a dungeon. Not sure if we backed up against the laundry room but it was loud and shook the wall.

Hotel was nice and clean but there was a mixup with the rooms and another couple was given access to our room and took some of our belongings. Hotel Ella was supposed to refund us for the missing items but have yet to receive anything.
