Historical Hotels in Ely, MN

"The room was nice. Everything we needed. Very basic but clean and friendly staff. The only thing we didn't like was the people walking up the wooden stairwell just outside of and above our room and someone pacing back and forth on the deck talking on their phone. It was very loud in our room and they walked up and down the stairs at 5:00 a.m. and woke us up."

"Clean, friendly, good location."

"Very nice cabin. Clean and well kept. Having the John boat and canoe were a nice bonus seeing we were on an island. Lol. Host was very responsive and Rob was too. While we were there it got cold, so we needed to use the gas burner cast iron heating unit. Couldn’t get it lit and they were very helpful on that. Reading the instructions became helpful. Another knee slapper. Push in the knob while igniting with the pilot button. The instructions were on the floor attached to the legs. Hard to read, so maybe put those instructions in the great information binder that was there. Unfortunately for us, the four days we were there it got cold, windy, and rainy. Just kept coming at us. Late in the season I guess. We thought to use the john-boat with trawling motor and regular motor to fish and go into Ely, but with water and rain, we hunkered down. Great overall experience. "
