Staff was wonderful and helpful. Very limited breakfast items, apple juice was just straight water, showering left you stinkier than when you entered due to smell of water, booked a king bed; definitely did not sleep in a king bed, horrible pillows, overall, it would be a 3 for me just for the way the staff was.

Road Trip Night in Ely.

The motel clerk was very helpful, kind, and efficient. The beds and shower were amazing. Good coffee. The sink water flowed slowly, just had to be patient. Really enjoyed our stay there.
