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…..

We stayed in a room with 3 queen beds, one being in a separate room. It was very nice, and the owners were very friendly and accommodating. We had a great stay and would highly recommend!

We loved staying at Hotel Ely! They have screen doors so you can actually have your door open to enjoy the beautiful weather. Shops and dining are easily walkable.

I was in Ely for just 2 nights for hiking and eating, best restaurants up there and I have some favorites. The owner was friendly and suggested a trail I could manage, I am fat and out of shape. She also told me about a local favorite restaurant. Motel was clean. Good water pressure and air conditioning. I will return

This is now one of my favorite motels. The staff was friendly and the room was extremely clean. After 6 days on the boundary waters this place was comfortable with a welcoming warm shower…however, you do need to bring a hairdryer.
