Our stay was for one night on our way to Great Basin NP. The beds were comfortable. The rooms could use some deep cleaning and it was on the main road so it was noisy. It's an old hotel but served our purpose for the night.

Hello, older well maintained hotel. Nice beds, I didn't take a picture to post but the room we got actually was nicer than the ones posted. Our room had lovely white top of bed. microwave & fridge. Ice is across the street at their second property(short walk) Keep in mind you are off a hwy, you may hear the big trucks passing. Few steps always across the narrow street there is a casino, store easy to walk to. Would stay here again.

The people that rated this hotel a 9 must have pretty low standards. Birds nest on the air conditioner by our heads as we opened the door. The reason why we chose this was 3 guys and a room with three beds. Tiny bathroom. The AC was difficult to figure out; kept shutting off and actually one of the heat registers started kicking on as well. Beds are old and need replacing. But it served its purpose -- a bed and a shower.

Parking was easy as there is no casino. This hotel desperately needs to be renovated. Room was big, bathroom was small, sheets were old. Coffee was good, "breakfast" was prepackaged muffins. I would look for other places in Ely before I would go back here.

The staff at the front desk were very nice.. This is a dirty hotel. Bathroom was dirty, like the base of toilet had not even been cleaned. Bathroom floor was dirty, room floor had doritos on it. Outside the trash was overflowing and multiple ash trays were full of butts. I would definitely not stay here again
