“Aloft Grand Hotel Ella aims for a family-friendly experience amidst Ella's nature and attractions, but falls short. While the mountain views are indeed stunning and the international cuisine is ambitious, reports of language barriers and maintenance issues undermine the promise. With ongoing construction, a stay here currently involves a gamble between potential and frustration.”
