Lots of options in Ely
Room was clean and comfortable. Fine for one night.
Property is very run down. Breakfast was included but lobby was locked and closed in the morning so we were unable to access. Disappointing. Help arrived at 7:40am. Breakfast was supposed to be avail at 7am. Tried to contact manager but no response. Next time we will pay a little bit more and find a better spot.

Only good for a quick sleep, no WiFi or breakfast
Bad WiFi, not enough to use a website. Dirty. We did like the layout of the double room, which had a separate sleeping alcove for one of the beds. Also, we’re informed that breakfast started at 7:00 in the morning, and the front office was still closed at 8:00 when we left.

Awesome service
We had a late check-in (didn’t arrive until 11:30 pm) and the owner waited up for us to assist us. Room was clean and comfortable. Only complaint is the breakfast options weren’t amazing. But other than that it was great value for the price.

Great value and location
Great value and location in the historic town.
It was under new management and so was affected by the transfer. Room was dated but comfotable.
There was no ice machine, but we did have a fridge.
It was good to have breakfast included, but there was no milk for the cereal, and no staff on hand to ask.

Check in was fine, but we never got breakfast and no one could get into office for us to sign out. We left the key cards under the office door
