    Charming, home away from home atmosphere. The only motel in Ely with patio seating. We pride ourselves on cleanliness and courteous service to our customers. Great beds and linens. The motel is within walking distance of three restaurants. Free wi-fi and pets ok. In-room coffee.

    Great stop before taking on Highway 50!
    The room was clean and comfortable, the price reasonable, and the customer service friendly and helpful. Good bed, good rest, good place to stay. It's an older property, but very convenient. I liked that it didn't have a casino and was a non-smoking facility.

    Satisfactory stay overnight!

    Thank you Larry for taking the time to write a review. We are happy that you stayed with us and would stay with us again. We will be remodeling this winter in order to offer a larger breakfast. There is also a pillow in the drawer of the armoire or stand. I will advise the front desk to disclose that upon check in. Thank you again and hope to see you in the future.

    Terrible customer service.
    Booked and paid for a room through expedia, but they did not have one for me when I arrived. Told me that it was expedia's fault that they had sold me a room they didn't have. Did not offer to try and help me find another room in town, they were all booked too. Emailed later and…

    I apologize for your experience. There was a communication error between expedia and our system. I spent 2 hours on the phone with them to rectify the problem. I assure you that you were not charged for your room, we do not have expedia collect on our behalf. Once again we send you our sincerest apologies.

    Convenient and Clean
    The staff were extremely friendly and the room was very reasonably priced. It was clean and even though located on the hi way, it was very quiet. A continental breakfast was available at 5 a.m. There was a nice restaurant located across the street.

    I have a small Havenese dog (12 lbs), is there a pet fee? Would a ground room floor be available with the dog?
    I don't recall any pet fee for the motel, but if you get a room, you should avoid rooms near the road as there is a grade and the semis are down shifting for the grade which is not good for a light sleeper.
