Amenities at this facility are at best pathetic. Worthless ‘breakfast’ with greasy prepackaged goods, rotten fruit and poor choice cereals, coat rack no hangers, no microwave or fridge, no clock, matted carpets, 31” tv, not even tissues and shower water was just barely warm enough. Motel 6 would outrage it at a much cheaper cost.

I stay here regularly enjoying this independent motel. This time the winter salt had not been swept from the sidewalks, I had no mini fridge in my room, the hot water was not hot for an evening shower and the breakfast bar was not restocked. I am sorry to report this because I have like staying here and will do it again and hope that these details are fixed next time.

We stayed there years ago and it now needs to be updated. The drapes were old fashioned and very wrinkled. The bedspreads were not large enough to cover the box springs and not attractive at all. There was no microwave in the room which was inconvenient since we got takeout for dinner and couldn’t reheat it. Breakfast was very sparse but we did get an apple that was good and we filled our to go cups with coffee. We had to wait a few minutes for the office to open for the breakfast bar. The outside of the facilities need some repairs The room seemed clean and the bed was comfortable. It was quiet. There was an additional pet fee that had to be paid on site after paying our registration fee on line. We probably will not stay there again.

From the minute we checked in, the staff was so helpful and accommodating. The room was spotless and big. Although this is an older motel, you can see that it is been updated and is in the process of updating. We will definitely be back on our next visit to Ely.

Disliked: Staff & service
Being Easter weekend,and a stated staff shortage , we were presented with the office that was closed when we arrived, and didn’t open at 6:30am on Sunday morning, and thus we didn’t get any breakfast. Though our stay was pleasant enough by the leaving of keycards in a good location and being notified by text message as to where to find them, the presumption that an unreliable message platform was a sufficient way to check us in was potentially dicey approach. Should the text message not arrived, my phone have been out of charge, insufficient signal to retrieve messages, all are just a few eventualities that might have made this shortfall of office staff result in our being left without a room for the night. So though this worked out, the fact that the office didn’t open on time, we got not included breakfast and therefore had to waste additional time in Ely procuring coffee and food this morning was a bit disappointing.

I was a late arrival and the staff had to close early due to a staffing shortage. I received a text message explaining the situation and that the manager would leave the key under the front mat. I arrived 45 minutes after close and the key was right where I expected it to be. She went above and beyond to make sure I had a room for the night!!!

Nice little independent motel. It was clean and comfortable. Parking was very strange, with several desirable parking spots impossible to get a car into without driving over a lawn/unpaved area or a curb. There was no hand soap. The office was closed when I got there at 9 PM, so the key was under the doormat. And the room temperature was set at 80 degrees! It was easily turned down to a reasonable temperature. I did sleep well there.The motel is being actively renovated, which may explain some of the strange ness. Even so, I liked the property and will stay there again on my next trip.

Very nice overnighter.
Excellent staff. Older but updated and well maintained property. Very clean. Our room was next to busy highway and a bit noisy until traffic slowed. My biggest concern was a bit too much light coming through main window. Updated black out curtains would be great. They offer coffee, juice and some breakfast snacks in the morning that were much appreciated.
