I really liked the remote checkin which allowed me to not worry about arriving late. The place had a really high rating on Hotels.com, so I expected it to be nicer. It was fine and possibly the rating reflected how nice it was for the money. Definitely worth it

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It was a great place, especially for the price. The check-in process was super easy, the doors have keyless entry. The owner was super friendly. The place is not a luxury hotel by any means but it was clean. For a hot second, I thought that there was no shower in the room but it was just hidden behind the door. It needs a little paint, repair, etc. The bed was too firm for me personally. But the room was comfy and warm and just what I needed after a giant snowstorm and a 13 hour drive. I'd stay again.

The bed was comfortable. The heater in my room was out of order, so the owners lent me a space heater. I'd stay there again. Quiet and safe.

Great Stay

My wife booked this for me for a two night stay on my way home from Quartzite. She likes to book quirky little place, and this was for sure that. Super easy check, clean, walking distance to everything, and I really liked that there was parking big enough for my truck and cargo trailer. This is an older motel, so of course it has it's little foibles, but I really like that it's not cookie cutter.

Good night's sleep

Room was just right for our needs. Centrally located in Ely with plenty of places to eat (Hometown Pizza makes a mighty mean pie), casinos, and shopping nearby. Although we required little room service other than clean towels the third day, it was always available should we have wanted it. Motel is being further renovated. Highly recommend.

Está muy bien y muy limpio! Pero batallamos demasiado con el wifi durante la estancia y el calentador principal no funcionó nunca y ese día hacía muchísimo frío….
