Old but clean and comfortable

The hotel was old (as is almost everything else in Ely) but the hotel was clean, check in was easy, and the showers were hot! The beds were comfortable, although a little hard, but overall a decent place, especially for the price. We would definitely stay here again.

I chose by lowest price, was pleasantly surprised to find room very clean and comfortable. Right on main road so a little noisy but got a good nights sleep.

I stayed in a basic economy room and it was excellent value. Nice and clean, really comfortable bed and the shower was very powerful. Would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful and Quaint

We chose The Grand Central Hotel understanding it was under new management, operated by a young family. It is a charming hotel, not new, but cute and peaceful. One of the managers, Ian, was quick to answer my questions and extremely helpful prior to our arrival. It's a smaller size room we rented, one bed, it was very comfortable. It's a pet friendly hotel, no extra charge, perfect for our 17lb dog. It's not a fancy hotel, but you can tell the owners take pride in the upgrades they've made with more to come. Check in was super easy. The Mexican restaurant, Rivas, is located directly across the street and was very good. They had outside tables, so you can take your pet. We will be sure to stay at The Grand Central Hotel next we come to Ely. It was great for an overnight getaway from St George, Utah.

Cheap and quirky small town motel, you get what you pay for (in a good way). I crashed here for a night on a road trip. Quiet spot, contactless check in, payment, check out etc. means you don't even have to speak to another human during your stay (unless you want to, of course), which was new to me but a pleasant experience. Would def stay here again if I'm ever back on Hwy 50.

Grand Central- Ely

The room was tidy and clean. Bed was comfortable. Good channels on t.v. within walking distance of a few restaurants.

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.

Very comfortable stay!! 😊

The room & bed were very comfortable. Good mattress & remodeled room. The shower was nice too. I also loved that I had access to Disney + included. So cool. Very happy with this place & great deal too!

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.
Yvonne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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

Good value, clean room. Wish there was a face to put to the stay. Felt a bit like a vending machine eperience. Thank you, though. I would stay here sgain.

Cheerful, clean, and a comfortable bed. A real coffee pot in the room and the fridge had a freezer section. The "virtual desk clerk " thing meant no one was on site to straighten out the tv, though the manager (?) walked me through it by phone. And he came over and fixed a plumbing problem right away.
