Room and hotel generally very clean and in good condition, Nice little bar. Staff very friendly and nothing too much bother, seemed very interested and aware. A nice gentle walk into the very nice and interesting main area and short taxi ride home, All in all a very good experience and I would re-visit no problem..

We stayed at the Ellison for 3 nights and can not recommend this hotel highly enough. The rooms are spotless and comfortable and a generous size, the location is central with great parking. But above all the staff are absolutely wonderful, we were there last minute for a family funeral and the staff could not have been more accomodating, Patsy especially was so accomodating it made a difficult situation so much easier.
