Small, modest rooms but surprisingly clean and well-kept. I slept well and bathroom was very clean. Owners have done a nice job updating this older property. Good value. Several good food options just 5 min away.

I am originally from Ely. I have stayed at many places there…. But this was my first time there. I was pleasantly surprised at the room. First of all… it was clean ! The bed was comfortable…. The water pressure was awesome and there was plenty of hot water ! Also had a microwave and a refrigerator…. Plus a coffee maker. I would stay here again…..
