Lots of options in Ely
Room was clean and comfortable. Fine for one night.
Property is very run down. Breakfast was included but lobby was locked and closed in the morning so we were unable to access. Disappointing. Help arrived at 7:40am. Breakfast was supposed to be avail at 7am. Tried to contact manager but no response. Next time we will pay a little bit more and find a better spot.

Only good for a quick sleep, no WiFi or breakfast
Bad WiFi, not enough to use a website. Dirty. We did like the layout of the double room, which had a separate sleeping alcove for one of the beds. Also, we’re informed that breakfast started at 7:00 in the morning, and the front office was still closed at 8:00 when we left.

Awesome service
We had a late check-in (didn’t arrive until 11:30 pm) and the owner waited up for us to assist us. Room was clean and comfortable. Only complaint is the breakfast options weren’t amazing. But other than that it was great value for the price.

Was passing through town for the night and was looking for a place that was clean, comfortable, and affordable. This place checked all the boxes. Ely is a small town and the area immediately around the property wasn't terrible or anything, but it's not overly inviting either.

We only needed a place to stay for one night. We had to go to another nearby motel to check in and call the clerk who was at another motel at the time… she was very nice however and helpful. Parking was limited but we lucked in for our small trailer/car combo. Room was clean. Never felt unsafe. Pet friendly. Located downtown. If you only need a place to sleep. It is fine.
