Not a new place, but we've stayed here numerous times over the years. It's a tad dated but clean and convenient to Ely explorations. The parking lot is a bit cramped though, especially when people park pickups in it. Comfortable beds and small town homey character.

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.
