A nice place to stay, very friendly. Second time we've stayed here and we will definitely be back.
There was not much to choose from in this town so we ended up with this one. Its old and out dated. The bed wasn't bad but needed more pillows, and it didn't have the bedspread that can be taken off and washed after ever stay, so you just have a sheet and blanket that I'm pretty sure doesn't get washed after every stay. I would not stay there again. Breakfast was pretty awful too, not much to choose from just sausage and some kind of flat eggs. I hate giving bad reviews but this is not the kind of place you want to stay in when you're on vacation and the cost was outrageous! It was a hundred dollars more than any other night! Never again!

It's a decent place and we stayed 2 nights. If i go back to Ely again, i would rather stay there. It's a family run operation and they were
extremely helpful.

Had a great stay. A little pricey but it was a last minute booking so that’s to be expected. Would definitely stay here again if I’m in the area.

We stayed one night as a jumping off point for a BWCA trip. We found the staff very helpful and the room very comfortable.

It's an OK vacation motel. Clean and well-maintained and
centrally located. No complaints really.

Older hotel,but are doing major updating everything in our room was brand new and the halls and lobby area looks like it has new carpet also. It was a very quiet stay.

We went up to Ely to spend the night then enter the BWCA. The inn was well kept up. We had a quiet night sleep and had a great breakfast. I appreciated the friendliness of the proprietor and we had a great breakfast conversation. Next BWCA trip, I will book the same hotel without question.

Property is decent. The staff was friendly. Breakfast was Ok. But the room was way overpriced. I would not stay again for the price of the room.

The service was great there, but the hotel is pretty run down. VERY clean, but old, and the walls are very thin. We had a kitchenette room right at the top of the stairs, and it sounded like everyone talking at breakfast was right in our room with us. It was very loud and woke us up every morning. There are very few amenities, but for what it is, it wasn't a bad stay.

The room was bare basics. Decor outdated, but clean. However, cleaning during our stay was inconsistent. We were there for 5 days and had one cleaning. Bed wasn’t very comfortable. TV was good. Owners seemed friendly. We basically stayed here because all other lodging was booked for Blueberry Fest.
