The room was super clean and nicely decorated. The bed was comfortable, the property was well-taken care of, and the owners were responsive to our inquiries. Location is central to restaurants, shops, etc. We will stay here again next time we are traveling through Ely. Highly recommend!

Clean room and comfortable beds. Renovations not complete but looks like they are getting there. A little trouble getting our check in info, owner was finally reached and apologized saying his phone had died. We were able to get in and had a restful nights sleep!

Property is conveniently located at the Center of Ely, Nevada. Owners are not in the property but they are very responsive and check in is easily done over the phone. Will stay again at this property in the future!

Old but clean and comfortable

The hotel was old (as is almost everything else in Ely) but the hotel was clean, check in was easy, and the showers were hot! The beds were comfortable, although a little hard, but overall a decent place, especially for the price. We would definitely stay here again.

Cheap and quirky small town motel, you get what you pay for (in a good way). I crashed here for a night on a road trip. Quiet spot, contactless check in, payment, check out etc. means you don't even have to speak to another human during your stay (unless you want to, of course), which was new to me but a pleasant experience. Would def stay here again if I'm ever back on Hwy 50.

Grand Central- Ely

The room was tidy and clean. Bed was comfortable. Good channels on t.v. within walking distance of a few restaurants.

The bed was comfortable. The heater in my room was out of order, so the owners lent me a space heater. I'd stay there again. Quiet and safe.

The room and property were decent for the price. I truly appreciate the quick response and customer service from the property owner. The motel is near a few abandoned homes and businesses, which can make one feel a little uneasy. The parking lot, though nicely marked, was scattered with animal waste, mostly due to irresponsible pet owners. We made sure to wipe our dog’s paws before they reentered our room. I know the property is still under the reconditioning process, but we’d consider returning to this motel. There are plenty of restaurants located downtown and a convenient Mexican restaurant across the street. Also, there is Shell gas station around the corner. Overall a 4/5!

Great Stay

My wife booked this for me for a two night stay on my way home from Quartzite. She likes to book quirky little place, and this was for sure that. Super easy check, clean, walking distance to everything, and I really liked that there was parking big enough for my truck and cargo trailer. This is an older motel, so of course it has it's little foibles, but I really like that it's not cookie cutter.

Love the price for a convenient and quick stop-over. Easy to find. Room access was easy. No need to check-in. Bed was clean, room was overall clean but that carpet ... yikes!! Pets are allowed, however there is no place for dogs to go potty. I had to wander the sketchy neighborhood to find a suitable place.
