We had a late check-in (didn’t arrive until 11:30 pm) and the owner waited up for us to assist us. Room was clean and comfortable. Only complaint is the breakfast options weren’t amazing. But other than that it was great value for the price.
Small hotel, the staff was so nice and made sure we had everything we needed!!

Missing a towel.
Breakfast room locked 1 hour after advertised time.
No one answered phone numbers posted on front door when help was needed.
Bed was wobbly and leaning to one side. Needed replacing.
Soap was so thin it broke apart in shower.
TV was difficult to work and DISH screen was on all night long - no shut off.
Desk manager was very nice, courteous as was her husband who managed a sister-property up the street. Couldn’t have been kinder. That’s what surprised us when we got into our room.
Michelle, the front desk staff, was so warm and welcoming that she set the tone for a lovely stay. Close walking distance to restaurants, casinos, city hall and churches.

New management doing great things. Good breakfast. Staff competent and attentive. The usual losers in the adjoining rooms.
I was not able to check in because I was traveling with a cat and, in spite of being "pet friendly" they do not allow cats. There is no indication of that on their website or on Expedia's website. And shame on Expedia for not listing when there is an added charge for pets.
Overnighter The place is perfect. on 50 across the street from a gas station. A restaurant across the street. On the road at 6AM no problem.

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.
