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.

Great value and location
Great value and location in the historic town. It was under new management and so was affected by the transfer. Room was dated but comfotable. There was no ice machine, but we did have a fridge. It was good to have breakfast included, but there was no milk for the cereal, and no staff on hand to ask.

Check in was fine, but we never got breakfast and no one could get into office for us to sign out. We left the key cards under the office door

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.

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.
