Would not recommend. You could tell it wasn't dusted recently but otherwise it was ok, small rooms. The service was terrible, however. I left a pillow in the room and immediately called and spoke with the owner about this. She informed me that she would promptly call the supervisor on duty and that she would have this individual contact me to arrange when I could grab my pillow, before I left the Ely area. This never happened and I tried calling back before I left Ely and spoke to another supervisor whom assured me that this pillow would be mailed to me. This was mailed to me, however, this agency billed my credit card without my approval, voiced that I would be refunded, and then was ignored and not replied to again. You can find better places to stay regardless but the customer service was extremely poor, and remains poor, as I made every effort to obtain my belongings before leaving town and was never told I would be charged $30 for shipping.... not cool

Cozy place

Great place. Clean and cozy. The room was chilly even with the heat up, discovered the next day the window on the door was open. Very quiet stay. No one was around, wasn’t sure if we could put things in the fridge. No local tv, Netflix was provided which was a nice touch but we wanted weather. We would definitely stay again! Appreciate they don’t charge extra for a dog.

Quaint little inn right downtown with easy access to shopping, restaurants, and bars. The rooms were well appointed and had everything we needed and plenty of space. The common area downstairs was perfect for snacks/meals and an all around welcoming space to relax by the fireplace and meet some new friends! Don’t forget to stop at the coffee shop with fresh locally roasted coffee and fresh baked goods! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Simple Place

The place is basic a a good value -- There is no "front desk" or on-site rep. Look for your email for access information. Also might be a little hard to find as it is a house on main street Ely. Just rely on Google Maps and you'll be fine. Parking in on the side of the house or off the ally in back.

We were surprised when we arrived that there was no one present to greet us, just a piece of paper with door codes and basic rules/instructions. We were not aware that the property was basically an Airbnb or Vrbo. The property itself was clean and well kept. Our room was nice except for the bathroom. It had a pedestal sink, so there was nowhere to put toiletries, and there were no towel hooks or rods, so towels had to be draped over furniture in the room. The shower was great - no complaints there. The bed and the pillows were extremely comfortable - some of the best we've ever used. We were told that there was a "grab and go" breakfast, which was true but misleading. Breakfast was provided at the coffee shop a block and a half down the street, not in the building, and it consisted of a free cup of coffee and muffin or $7 off your purchase of other food. The food was good, so we can't really complain, but it was not what we were expecting. The TV used Roku, and we weren't able to find anything to watch, but that might have been our fault for not being tech savvy. The TV instruction page said to press the AT&T button on the remote, but there was no AT&T button. This was a minor inconvenience because we don't go on vacation to watch TV. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would likely stay again.

Not much to like, Called twice and left messages about the lack of heat no one returned the calls. Very limited parking and it was so dark in front we had a hard time finding the entrence. It was NOT worth the money spent to stay there. When returning to Ely We will stay in a different town before going back to this place. When paying $170,00,a person should get a warm clean room at the very best. We have stayed in better places that cost less than 1/2 this amount. We deserve some monetary consideration to make it right,

Our room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable but nothing to see out of windows except other houses. Would have liked a vanity in bathroom, pedestal sink is not convenient. The one thing I would say that we didn't like at all was that the parking spaces were so limited.
