Location was good, on the main road. The room was basic but clean. On the downside the office is only open from 7:00 AM until 7:00 pm. So if you need assistance you have to call someone to come back to the motel.

Nice rooms but the office is only open 12 hrs. and there are no room microwaves to warm up food if you arrive or eat something you brought, after hours. The breakfast is junk food & cold cereal " milk available by request", what? So keeping those things in mind, its still a decent place.

Can’t tell a book by the cover.

Was a little hesitant as I parked as exterior looks tired but room was comfortable and clean. Needed a microwave and the front desk attendant brought one over from another room willingly. Limited continental breakfast with only cold cereal and packaged pastries and coffee pretty weak. Beds were fine and fridge was large and good working condition.

This is the second time we’ve stayed here! While the property is a little old they’ve done a good job of keeping it up. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. It’s very centrally located easy in and out. We travel by motorcycle and like to park right outside our room. We will stay here again if we’re ever in Ely
