When I first pulled in I was worried, but the room was comfortable, the workers were on property. We had issues with TV and the maintenance guy worked on it until it was fixed. Had issue with being double charged and manager came in from home to fix it. Very nice people, yes it’s older property but they are definitely trying to make it better. I definitely would stay again just because I felt safe and the employees were very friendly and helpful.

Clean Motel
Its a very old motel but pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness. Staff was nice and beds were better than I expected. Pretty quiet room. Medium temp water but decent pressure. For the price you cant expect much. It was clean.

You get what you pay for.
The hotel was in a state of disarray when we arrived. The parking lot pavement was falling apart. The building was old and in need of cosmetic upgrades. It looked like a roach motel from the out side. We asked to see the room before we committed. The room itself was decent at first glance. The bed was comfortable but had only three fairly flat pillows (would’ve been nice to have two each for my husband and I). The room seemed clean at first glance as well and was free of offensive odors, but we later found a used bar of soap in the shower, dirt in the tub basin and makeup stains on the bed linens. The bed linens were also thread bare. There was no Wi-Fi that we were aware of. Amenities stated that there was a free breakfast—there was not. The walls were thin and the yowling neighbors kept us awake until late. The hotel was pet friendly but required a $20 cash deposit (cash only, you can’t use a card for this so we had to go find an ATM, which also was not available on the property). In the end, it was a cheap hotel and it was sufficient for our last minute decision to stay overnight in Ely, but you get what you pay for. Next time we will definitely budget for a better hotel.

Broken window and no working AC had to sleep with door open beacuse it was so miserablly hot.

To even check into our room and this was listed as a hotel which by definition is an inside entry is a Motel and should be listed as such

This place is absolutely terrible. The pictures are completely deceiving and in no way represent the actual place. We opened the door, walked in and immediately walked back out to find another place to stay. We truly are not that picky or fancy but this place is a complete ripoff. I can’t believe it’s even offered as an option on Expedia. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra $50 and stay somewhere else.

Don't stay there
I have stayed in several dumps in my life and for the price I didn't expect the Taj mahal I stayed at the Nevada hotel in the past and for an old building it was well maintained. they claimed this was a hotel, I made the assumption It might have normal hotel facilities. I was tired when a got there and the room smelled musty there was not top sheet on the bed and the tv had a poor reception.

This property Is in extreme disrepair on the outside. At least the room is clean. Lots of noise from traffic and train. This is barely a basic motel. Won’t be staying here again.

The room was fine for just sleeping. The outlets were not working well in our room, but it wasn't a dealbreaker. However, at night, there was a man yelling and swearing outside of our room. We were not sure who he was exactly yelling about, but it appeared to be some sort of domestic issue. In the morning we tried letting the front desk know, but there were no staff to speak with..

Nice manager but...
Manager is working hard to revamp an old motel which has been abused. There is still plenty to do but I admire her fortitude. Bedwas comfy but queen sheets on king bed, no coffee or cups for coffee maker, not enough towels or TP (cleaning staff issue?). I can't really recommend it as it is now but hopefully the future will improve ratings. Good little continental breakfast and coffee in lobby.

At first look I was concerned what the motel looked like from the outside. The interior was a pleasant surprise. Smaller room but updated. I feel it was worth the money.
