We liked Jeffery the cat, the loft. We didn’t like the price, thought it was a good hotel charging a bit too much. The bed on the 1st floor of room 23 was very uncomfortable.

The best vacation ever!
Everything was just wonderful, from the accommodations to the proximity to Duval Street. Our room was clean, comfortable and with our private patio was the perfect place to relax early in the morning or for a nap in the afternoon. We will absolutely be back to Ellla's Cottages, Room 19!! Our perfect hideaway...

It was a quiet area except for early morning traffic on Simonton. The free Duval loop bus has a stop right in front of Ella's.
