Motel Ely

Motel Ely

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at Motel Ely for a couple of nights while on a quick sightseeing trip to Ely. Even though the motel is right on the Main thoroughfare through town, it is quiet. Ownership is friendly and always helpful. I always prefer the Mom and Pop motels and this one gets 5 stars."
