Had a great stay. A little pricey but it was a last minute booking so that’s to be expected. Would definitely stay here again if I’m in the area.

It's a decent place and we stayed 2 nights. If i go back to Ely again, i would rather stay there. It's a family run operation and they were
extremely helpful.

Not recommended.
If you like surprise charges when you arrive, a bare and puny breakfast, an air conditioner that shuts off every 60 seconds, and no elevator, this is the place for you. When tell the front desk that you are not happy, they say sarcastically "welcome to Ely."

Good service but old with no amenities
The service was great there, but the hotel is pretty run down. VERY clean, but old, and the walls are very thin. We had a kitchenette room right at the top of the stairs, and it sounded like everyone talking at breakfast was right in our room with us. It was very loud and woke us up every morning. There are very few amenities, but for what it is, it wasn't a bad stay.
