We stayed here mid October. Our friends had a room by the restaurant and we had two efficiencies down the road. It was a long walk between the rooms, at least a 1/4 of a mile. Their room had two doubles and a twin in a separate small bedroom, and a small shower only. It had a tiny fridge, too. But their room was recently painted with clean carpets and newer looking bedding. They had wifi access. Our rooms in the efficiencies were definitely bigger, but older decor. We had a larger fridge, microwave, and toaster, as well as dishes in a few kitchen cupboards, which we washed before we used. We had a bathtub with a shower. One of the shower heads was great and the other was terrible - only misting a harsh mist. The rooms have brown wood paneling which dates the rooms. The mattress was comfortable, though. We were able to bring in a double cot so we would have enough beds for our kids. No TVs and no wifi access at the efficiencies. We ate our own breakfast, but ate dinner at the Lectrolux cafe. The restaurant decor definitely has character. Three different Electrolux vacuums hung from the ceiling. Colorful paint on the walls and tables and interesting movie posters and photo art for sale completed the decor. It has seating for about 20 people. The food was quite good with good quantities of food, too. After dinner, the owner didn't mind when our group of 11 stayed and played games in the restaurant. We just knocked on his door when we left so he could lock up.

This place is so great! It is completely different then other motels and hotels we've stayed in the 5 weeks of our holliday. We slept a night in one of the rooms next to the restaurant and we loved it. Don't expect luxury, but when your level is a clean bed, a shower and a toilet in a clean room, then this ís the place to be. The owner, Terry, is a special man. Looking at the details of the interior in the restaurant, I would say he's a smart man with humor who loves his work. The food he servers is his little restaurant (also shop and once a week movietheater) is delicious and if you like a glas of wine, then this is the adress for a good advice. Terry had worked a long time in the wine business. Bring earplugs when you don't like classical music. He's a Mozartfan and playes it often on the cd player in the restaurant.
Go see for yourself. It's a simple place, but so peacefull.

I and two other people stayed at Silver Jack this summer, taking two (converted trailer) rooms. Both had a litany of dead insects on the floor. The accomodations are very sparse for the money.

The reason they have a non-refundable policy is because some of the rooms (including mine) are infested with either mosquito nests or bed bugs. I was eaten alive during my one evening and had to deal with the bites for a week-and-a-half.

My advice: drive to Ely.

We stayed in one of the twin bed rooms and I thought that the mattresses were very comfortable. It is what it is. A motel in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. It was old and a little run down, but for all that , the food was great and it was relatively clean.
