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

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.

Property is conveniently located at the Center of Ely, Nevada. Owners are not in the property but they are very responsive and check in is easily done over the phone. Will stay again at this property in the future!

Neither Grand, nor Central. One of the worst, if not at the very bottom of the list of garbage dumps.

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.
