Very clean and comfortable. Old, but homey. Would for sure stay here again
Very clean rooms,built in 1950,furniture outdated.water doesnt want t go down drains.Once you have parked you cannot leave ,10feet between parked cars on both sides.Will not stay here again.
The owners are extremely helpful & accomodating. Our room is tidy & clean. A bit dated, but priced accordingly and ... let's face it, I'm here to sleep.
Motel room was cleaner than big name hotels ive stayed in. Quaint little room. Smelled great. Parking is easy. On the same street as everything else like stores and restaurants. Id stay here again. I have zero complaints. As a single female, I felt safe here.
Very quiet, economical and clean accommodations and friendly staff. Small cozy room with a decent size bathroom. Very fluffy white towels were a big plus.
The room was clean and had all of the amenities I needed for my stay. The owner was very friendly and helpful. There is a gas station / convenience store across the street that came in very handy. Would stay there again.
Friendly and easy. A comfortable and enjoyable one-night stay.

Travelling with friends/family and we were a little perturbed that the room keys worked on each other's doors but the dead bolt that we didn't get a key for kept us secure for the night. The rooms are a little dated but eveything was clean and worked fine.

Clean....basic....friendly staff....good coffee....I miss my bed.
We had a great stay! The owners are fantastic and work hard to make your stay fantastic! Our room was clean and comfortable. If I return to the Ely area and need a place to stay, it will definitely be Motel Ely!
