10/10 Exceptional

In the main road of ely where all the restaurants, theatre etc are present. Rooms are clean. Owner is super friendly and helpful. She helped suggesting us with few hikes which are good in the winter/snow and also gave us food suggestions. Rooms are pretty clean and sufficient for travel days. the internet speed was very good without any issues. It’s an old motel but well maintained.

This is an older motel right on the main road in Ely. Check in was easy and the owner was welcoming and recommended a couple of nearby restaurants. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was a nice, quiet place to spend the night.
