It's a decent place and we stayed 2 nights. If i go back to Ely again, i would rather stay there. It's a family run operation and they were extremely helpful.

Had a great stay. A little pricey but it was a last minute booking so that’s to be expected. Would definitely stay here again if I’m in the area.

We went up to Ely to spend the night then enter the BWCA. The inn was well kept up. We had a quiet night sleep and had a great breakfast. I appreciated the friendliness of the proprietor and we had a great breakfast conversation. Next BWCA trip, I will book the same hotel without question.

Not recommended.

If you like surprise charges when you arrive, a bare and puny breakfast, an air conditioner that shuts off every 60 seconds, and no elevator, this is the place for you. When tell the front desk that you are not happy, they say sarcastically "welcome to Ely."

Good service but old with no amenities

The service was great there, but the hotel is pretty run down. VERY clean, but old, and the walls are very thin. We had a kitchenette room right at the top of the stairs, and it sounded like everyone talking at breakfast was right in our room with us. It was very loud and woke us up every morning. There are very few amenities, but for what it is, it wasn't a bad stay.

Liked: Cleanliness

Okay, for basic stay.

The room was bare basics. Decor outdated, but clean. However, cleaning during our stay was inconsistent. We were there for 5 days and had one cleaning. Bed wasn’t very comfortable. TV was good. Owners seemed friendly. We basically stayed here because all other lodging was booked for Blueberry Fest.
