Breakfast was served in a charming basket and included premium yogurt, OJ, cheese and nuts, bagels or croissants, coffee and small immunity elixirs. I spent some time around the pool and loved the music that was playing over the speakers. The staff was very friendly and the neighborhood was quiet despite being only a block away from Duval St.

I absolutely loved my stay at Ella’s Cottage. The location was perfect, the rooms and outdoor areas were stunning. Really great service with breakfast baskets and super friendly staff. The only downside was that my room was located very close to the maintenance staff office/storage so unfortunately in the morning I was woken up and could hear everything going on. Side note beware that the roosters will wake you up at sunrise!

Everything was well-kept and clean, the delivered breakfast baskets were wonderful (and a LOT of food!), and the staff were all friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I was travelling alone but always felt perfectly safe, and even stayed an extra night! The hotel is also very conveniently located, right next to a stop on the Duval Loop bus stop.
