Clean and Comfy

We have stayed at The Bristlecone before. It’s a nice hotel. The beds are comfortable. But most important, affordable while not lacking on cleanliness.

Best of the non chains in town

Overall, it was a good one night stay. The room was very large, tile floors were great for dogs. Location was great. & of all the non-chain hotels in town, this one was definitely a top pick. The floor was a bit dirty, The door did not meet the floor so there was probably a 1/2 inch gap at the base, but I would come back. Overall fine stay. And a bargain.
Catherine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The only drawback to this stay was the weak internet-I could not do some work that I needed to. The motel had an old fashioned feel to it but it had all the amenities and was lovely and quiet.
Madeleine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ok but not the best

The rooms have no microwave and the breakfast is not like any motel we have ever stayed at
Cindy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean and Comfortable

Older hotel, but clean and comfortable. Was filled up the night we stayed. Accepts pets with a reasonable fee. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast is pretty basic. Cereal, muffins, and breakfast bars. Not really more than that. Would stay again if I come back this way.
James, 1-night trip

Clean & Affordable

There was some lag between the booking on the site & its showing up in the motel's system, but it worked out. The room was tidy. The bathroom was clean; there were a couple of Cheet-oh pieces on the floor. The location is close to many businesses.

Overnight stay.

Have stayed here before on our “snowbird” travel. Is clean and office personnel friendly. Have small dog and had 2nd story room, a little hard on us older people and dog going out for midnight dog business. But overall nice place.

Night in Ely

My room was right next to the main road. Very noisy. Also the air conditioner was extremely noisy.
Kathleen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was very clean and nicely furnished. Convenient, right on our route.
Penny, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice motel by Ely standards

This a clean no frills roadside facility. It is directly next to a highway that is fairly busy/noisy until around midnight. The staff is friendly and helpful. The morning snack is not a breakfast with hot coffee and cold juice. The food is all package in small proportions, If you want a real breakfast go elsewhere (if you can find it)
