It’s Ely so we weren’t expecting a prime room. But you could hear what went on in all the other rooms, toilet didn’t flush well, cheap tp, the frig made annoying noises all night long, not enough parking spaces. Overpriced for what is offered. Not going back or recommending — sadly.

Awesome Stay

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is in town on the main street walkable to restaurants, shopping, coffee and ice cream. Our room (#26) was clean, stocked with bathtoom toiletries and had a comfy king bed with comfy king pillows. The bathroom was stocked with all necessary toiletries. There were soft chewy cookies every day in the office which was a treat. The owner was super nice too. Will definitely stay here again if in the area.

The motel has been updated and that was nice. However, the bedding is slippery and hot, stale smelling, and the towels were well used and stale smelling as well. Hard to get past the smell.

Nice place, fix heating in carpeted room

The family suite is an apartment above the check-in office. It is huge! It is very quaint and neat. We brought our dog and setup his kennel in the carpeted room that unfortunately didn’t have heating overnight. It didn’t help that temperatures dropped overnight…The rest of the apartment is very warm and cozy! Besides that, excellent place to stay in Ely!
