Our stay was for one night on our way to Great Basin NP. The beds were comfortable. The rooms could use some deep cleaning and it was on the main road so it was noisy. It's an old hotel but served our purpose for the night.

Hello, older well maintained hotel. Nice beds, I didn't take a picture to post but the room we got actually was nicer than the ones posted. Our room had lovely white top of bed. microwave & fridge. Ice is across the street at their second property(short walk) Keep in mind you are off a hwy, you may hear the big trucks passing. Few steps always across the narrow street there is a casino, store easy to walk to. Would stay here again.

Exhaust fans in the bathroom were very loud. If you have the air conditioner fan on the traffic noise is isn't too bad.

Parking was easy as there is no casino. This hotel desperately needs to be renovated. Room was big, bathroom was small, sheets were old. Coffee was good, "breakfast" was prepackaged muffins. I would look for other places in Ely before I would go back here.

The motel was pretty clean. Phone in the room did not work. TV was hard to figure out, but we really didn’t watch it that much. 😄 They have a small breakfast area in the office that had cereal, muffins, sweet rolls, fruit, coffee, tea, juice. This was a one time trip to Ely, NV, so I doubt that I will ever be back there again.

The rooms were a bit dirty, the pillows were just thrown onto the beds and did not look as if the bed was freshly made. The floor was not vacuumed and the air-conditioning did not work. It was stifling in our room all night long. But the staff was wonderful.
