Stayed in family suite. 2 rooms with to queens in each. The living room is big and the couch turns into a bed for two. You could easily add another air mattress. Kitchen had everything you need. Pots, pans, coffee and more

What more could you ask for? Clean, comfortable and affordable. A base camp in town to plan, sleep and clean up in before and after your excursion.

We will Canoe on back again!

Great little hotel! Perfect location for exploring Ely on foot, and very clean room. Being dog-friendly was important too. We left a charging cord behind and Shauna mailed it to us! Super nice experience

The motel has been updated and that was nice. However, the bedding is slippery and hot, stale smelling, and the towels were well used and stale smelling as well. Hard to get past the smell.

Fredrica

It’s Ely so we weren’t expecting a prime room. But you could hear what went on in all the other rooms, toilet didn’t flush well, cheap tp, the frig made annoying noises all night long, not enough parking spaces. Overpriced for what is offered. Not going back or recommending — sadly.

Nice place, fix heating in carpeted room

The family suite is an apartment above the check-in office. It is huge! It is very quaint and neat. We brought our dog and setup his kennel in the carpeted room that unfortunately didn’t have heating overnight. It didn’t help that temperatures dropped overnight…The rest of the apartment is very warm and cozy! Besides that, excellent place to stay in Ely!

Fantastic attention to issues.

We had a problem with the heat in the room. The owner quickly addressed this and gave us a new room. She even carried some of our bags to help us move. Rooms are a bit small, but expected. Overall, she went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of. Highly recommended.
