FABULOUS GEM! This place is super cool and a nice updated take on the “Route 66 roadside motel”. I arrived after riding a motorcycle across the state and the self check in was AMAZING. Room was super dooper clean. Mattress and pillows were comfy…I slept like a baby. The Roku TV was a nice touch. Great Mexican restaurant across the street.

I’ve definitely paid way more for way less. This little property is a diamond in the rough. New owners are working diligently to constantly improve. A great place to stay as we passed through.

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.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
While check-in was easy (though impersonal, mediated by no human beings in the flesh) and the owners of the property seemed to be nice via text messages (could have been AI), and while the bed was comfortable and sockets for charging plugs were conveniently located on the nightstand, the room was very small, there were no luggage racks or place other than the floor to put suitcases, and the brown shag carpet and floor slanting down toward the back of the room and the low bathroom counter and old bathtub were all signs of the age of the place and suboptimal maintenance. The ice machine didn't work, and the vending machine sold mostly sweet stuff. If it had been half the price, it would have been more worth it, but at $123 for the room we felt ripped off.

One nightstand lamp did not provide enough lighting in the room. I believe, in time, improvements will be made to correct this.

Love the price for a convenient and quick stop-over. Easy to find. Room access was easy. No need to check-in. Bed was clean, room was overall clean but that carpet ... yikes!! Pets are allowed, however there is no place for dogs to go potty. I had to wander the sketchy neighborhood to find a suitable place.
