“Great place to stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

I have stayed at this motel a few times, and it's usually the first place I check when I'm staying in town. The motel is actually several small cabins located on the property. It is located on main street near highway 1. This visit was on 12-27-11, we were in town doing a little ice fishing. We rented the 2 bedroom cabin for $55 per night, which is great compared to the more expensive Super 8 or the Grand Ely Lodge. We didn't need anything fancy like a pool, or continental breakfast. just a clean, quiet, comfortable place to stay. The cabin had a rustic, notty pine feel. The cabin consists of 2 bedrooms, a small bathroom, and a table with a couple chairs. The blower on the furnace was a little noisey when it would kick on durning the night, but the beds were comfortable and the cabin was clean. The owners are friendly and helpful with directions, a fishing report, or local info. We would definetly stay here again.

“Love LOVE this place!!”

The LakeLand Motel is a fantasic place to stay! The Cabin we stayed at was the single cabin with a full bed, table, chairs, bath, tv, AC, and closet. The cabin was very nice and cozy! It is smaller than a normal motel room but that was no bad deal, it was a great place. We stayed at this cabin for $50 dollars!!!!! That is such a great price! Some motels around the area wanted $100 for there place but they were not as nice as the lakeland motel.The owners were very nice and they really took pride in there buisness, they really cared for the people that stayed with them. I would definately recommond this place to others! My family and i would for sure go back in our next trip to Ely! =D

“Would highly recommend this property”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2011

We were there for a Legion convention. Were pleasantly surprised at the property. Look like little cabins, a bit rustic but very clean! Bedding was very comfortable and pillows were perfect! Owners were very friendly and helpful in finding restaurants. The prices were cheaper than other properties in the area. Would highly recommend this place!

Room Tip: You can park right outside your room (cabin)

“not the best not the worst, great for the price”

My wife and I stay here every year before our annual trip into the boundary waters. we get a single for $55. $55 BUCKS!!! Definitely the cheapest place in Ely and honestly it's not that bad. All of the rooms are in separate cabins so their is never noise issues. While I wouldn't say it's the cleanest place I've ever stayed in, it does the trick for the night before a camping trip. I have actually recommended this place to friends for the same purpose we use it for, and they have been pleased.
