Hotel Nell is very cute with a rich history & the staff we interacted with was so kind but the parking situation is expensive & nightmarish. The staff seems a little confused on where you can park & when & there is an entire lot unused attached to the building which was incredibly frustrating. Our first night there was a drying fan on the floor in the hallway, I believe for a leak in another room, inconvenient but not at all an issue.. the second night the fan was no longer there & you could hear someone breathe too loud in the room next door. Wouldn’t likely stay again but mainly for the conveniences of parking & privacy, not because of quality or service.

Overall the experience was good. Check in was a breeze. I wish I had more knowledge at exactly how little parking there actually was for the hotel. Having to park and walk 20mins wasn't ideal without that knowledge. There were humidifiers everywhere that were quite loud and able to be heard in the rooms. Overall the noise wasn't too much for us but closer rooms may have had a harder time. The air conditioning vent in our room leaked condensation our entire stay. Lastly, and unsure if this has to do with the hotel or if it's separate but we were ignored heavily our first night trying to eat at the rooftop bar, we ended up leaving and finding a restaurant elsewhere. The second night we were seated and were taken care of but we're unaware that we should have made a reservation. Overall I would say it was cute and a comfortable stay, just minor things that would make me less likely to stay again but not refuse to give it a second try.

It was clean and service was great. However, the bed was on the floor which was off putting. The TV did not work, not even turn on, which they had to fix. They had the cleaning bin in front of our door for hours at a time, multiple times, making it very difficult to enter/exit the room. I just expected more based on the price per night.

I love staying here. The property is beautiful. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. I love the rooftop restaurant. We were given two free margarita vouchers to use at the restaurant upon check-in. They have a limited number of parking spots, but there is a parking garage that cost the same amount nearby. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and I would stay here again.
