Nice stay in Ely

We had a wonderful time in Ely and enjoyed our stay at the Grand Ely Lodge. A pretty lively hotel even in the dead of winter, with a decent restaurant, friendly staff, and nice location close to town. The rooms was large and comfortable. Internet was fast and cable TV was extensive. Plenty of parking. Would stay here again during our next trip to Ely.

Bed was average; dinner of the highly recommended roast beef and walleye were both tasteless, as was the wild rice - bland and overcooked.
