The room in the picture wasn't the room we got. Otherwise, it was fine. There is no staff at the Inn. I would stay there again.

It was pretty good. We're use to someone being onsite for immediate assistance so this experience with a "self serve/self help" situation was different for us. However, when I called the owner Adam for assistance he was VERY helpful. We would stay there again. It was very neat and clean.

Best place to stay in Ely! So comfy and well thought out. Close to everything in the downtown area. The Kwazy Wabbit is a must if you need a beer.

Quaint little inn right downtown with easy access to shopping, restaurants, and bars. The rooms were well appointed and had everything we needed and plenty of space. The common area downstairs was perfect for snacks/meals and an all around welcoming space to relax by the fireplace and meet some new friends! Don’t forget to stop at the coffee shop with fresh locally roasted coffee and fresh baked goods! Thanks for a wonderful stay!
