Perfect place for a quick overnight stop while driving from LA to Boise. Ely gets cold during the winter, but we managed to stay very cozy. Having a door code made check-in easy and flexible. Would book again!

This is an old property, and the new owners are working to improve it and make a good experience for their guests. The check-in was done via texting, and they were very responsive.. The room was clean, and the linens looked very good. They provided a voucher for a free breakfast at a nearby restaurant.. Thank You !

Funky, with spirit! I love the fact that the new owners were up front about their investment in the older property and passionate about gradually bringing it up to speed. It’s a classic motel in need of care, which means in need of customers. The room was totally clean, easy access, and easy parking for a motorcycle. I’m sure I’ll stay again, as it’s on my US 50 route for road trips. Keep this one going!

This is a great find in Ely. There is a bit of construction on the main drag but once done, it will be so much nicer and the downtown will be revitalized. This property is walking distance from downtown. They gave us a breakfast voucher for a local restaurant (in walking distance) and the food was top notch. The property is vintage, but relatively peaceful and super clean and tidy. I'm pretty sure it's headed for boutique chic in a few years.

This is an older property with new owners. The beds were comfortable. There are no plug ins for electronics. The bathtub didn’t have a stopper and no hair dryer. Just little things. The heater worked well and the shower was fine. It was nice to be able to park right in front of the room. The owners are very friendly and helpful. I always want to support local businesses
