Clean, comfortable room at a reasonable price. We just needed a quick stop for one night. The fridge and AC were appreciated. Would stay here again. The owner was very kind and helpful, especially ensuring that we wanted to stay in spite of recent fires in the area. We enjoyed our stay in Ely.

Lovely little motel with retro charm. Enjoyed a clean room and comfortable beds in a well-maintained facility. Not much fancy here, but an easy location in a cute town, and it suited our "up north" visit super well. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed the staff and the motel is cute and clean. It was old and not updated for convenience, comfort and our electronics, but quaint and an unusual experience.
