I loved the ascetic of the hotel. The owner might want to invest in the self closing hinges for the room doors. Housekeeping accidentally left my door open and I was gone for most of the day. Thankfully, nothing was taken or broken.

First time stay

So, the staff was very pleasant and had smiles on their faces. Helpful and sweet What I didn't like was you had to reserve parking, an their was non. You had to make reservations at the restaurant upstairs. We didn't know that and had to order out. That was kind of disappointing. The shower was not clean and the sheets were not fresh. Overall, it's the cutest little boutique hotel. Now that I know about all of the reservations needed. I'll definitely return.

The staff were kind and helpful. I enjoyed my stay, it was relaxing and comfortable. I think they should add more gluten free foods/health options for people with allergies or other health restrictions in diet. Overall it was a great place to stay.

I just returned from a 3 night stay at Hotel Nell with my teenage daughter. We both loved everything about our stay. Everyone was helpful and friendly from the front desk to the housekeepers, to the wait staff at The Treehouse and the little cafe in the lobby. One night I came down looking for coffee creamer and the cafe was closed but the front desk went over and poured me a glass of half and half to take up and keep in the refrigerator in my room. Much appreciated! This hotel is quaint and charming and it's in such a fun urban neighborhood with lots of great shops and restaurants as well as a Trader Joe's within walking distance. Before arriving we upgrade to the largest room the hotel offers and it was lovely; felt more like an apartment or Airbnb than a hotel and had a well stocked kitchen with dishes, refrigerator and a stove. We will definitely return.
