Stopped in for one night on a drive from Las Vegas to Idaho. The staff was super friendly and accommodated our after-hours arrival. Location was great, well-lit with a little dog area in front of the room. Clean, comfortable room, perfect for the price! If we're overnighting in Ely again, this will be the spot.

Very big, clean room. Older motel with nice character. Comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Pet friendly. A nice place to rest your head after a few hours on The Lonliest Road.

Let me just start with the people who run this hotel are so nice and professional. Very homy feel to our stay. Very very clean. Was a pleasure to stay. Will stay again.

Budget level but more than adequate for a quick stay. Has all the basic necessities. La Fiesta restaurant around the corner had good food.

Well let me start with we check in our 1st room and the heat didn't work so we called the front desk and she did came down and told us to let it run for a min ( it was 24 degrees outside) so we were like ok and went to dinner at the la fiesta restaurant ( that's a whole another review, it sucked) when we got back to the room was still cold so she moved us rooms which was an upgrade. Great!! We got in our new room and the heat worked great! So around 10pm we heard a lot of commotion outside from like 5 guys yelling about how we had their room and they were going to ask us to get out. Text the chat line because when you call the front desk it just rang. Anyways my husband went out and calmed the situation down. The guys got in their room which was on the top floor ( we were on the bottom) and they were loud AF. They left and came back at 3 am drunk and loud so needless to say I didn't get any sleep. When I woke up and was in the bathroom there was a single bed bug on the shower curtain. That was it and I was ready to go. I travel all over the country and stay in thousands of hotels and motels. I probably won't stay here again.
