10/10 Excellent
"Clean, comfortable room at a reasonable price. We just needed a quick stop for one night. The fridge and AC were appreciated. Would stay here again. The owner was very kind and helpful, especially ensuring that we wanted to stay in spite of recent fires in the area. We enjoyed our stay in Ely."
