Loved this B&B. The day of my arrival, I received a text message from the innkeeper, providing basic information and was greeted by her when I arrived. No check-in desk or registration--you're essentially in a home and welcomed as such. The inn is well kept, especially considering its age, and feels very much still of that era. The bedrooms are at the same time charming, cozy and elegant. You sign up for a breakfast time slot and choice of meal, and when you arrive downstairs in the dining room, the innkeeper--who has cooked your meal herself--serves you. Other guests were quite friendly during my stay. There was a feeling of comradery because we were all sharing a home (albeit, a large one). I got the feeling some of these guests had stayed there before. Some take breakfast in their pajamas, something you'd never see in a hotel.
The only complaints that I have are that conversations in sitting areas can be heard loud and clear inside rooms. There is also a dog in the neighborhood that barks continuously in the mornings. Nonetheless, there is an unbelievable quiet at nighttime, both in the neighborhood and in the inn. And the bed in my room was hands down the most comfortable I have ever slept in, with a very cushy mattress, pillows and comforter. I slept rather well during my stay.
If high-end, expensive hotels are your preference, Ellerbeck may not be your cup of tea. If, on the other hand, you like a "home-away-from-home" experience, this is the place in SLC.
