For a small motel it is quiet, clean and easy access. Staff was very nice.
Cameron, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Basically, a good stay.

The only real concerns were the hot water taking a long time to heat up and the noise level was occasionally loud with a couple of our meighbors.

Good Location to Enjoy Ely

Motel Ely has had nice updates to he bathroom and other areas. The ownership is very present, pleasant and extremely helpful. There are beautiful flower planters around the property. We would stay there again.

cute little locally owned motel

We stayed at Motel Ely for a couple of nights while on a quick sightseeing trip to Ely. Even though the motel is right on the Main thoroughfare through town, it is quiet. Ownership is friendly and always helpful. I always prefer the Mom and Pop motels and this one gets 5 stars.

Great location

Check-in was flawless. Bed was comfortable. Room was dated but comfortable and clean. Parking was a little scary because space is confining.

The woman at the front desk was so friendly! Made us feel like family and the room was comfortable and clean.

Was OK
Gregory, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient place to crash before / after time in the BWCA. Design of building limits air circulation in rooms, and arrangement of rooms around parking lot ensures everyone hears everything.
Randall, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Loved this place and would definitely stay again! Owner was very friendly and helpful. Only complaint was the strong smell of fragrance which we guessed was maybe carpet powder because it didn’t really dissipate despite us trying to air it out.
Sarah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very good, will return. Within walking distance of the downtown and shopping. Helpful staff.
