Sad little breakfast: coffee, fruit, cereal, and plastic wrapped sweet rolls or muffins. Juice machine was broken. No vent in the bathroom. Check in was quick and easy, but that's the only postive thing.
The room is smelly. The surrounding environment is noisy and not very safe.

Room was out of toilet paper. We asked for more and were told we would have to wait until morning. A roll of paper towels we keep in the car was what we used.
Lots of road noise as well.

Property is a little below average. The room was ok be you could tell the floor was not clean, need air conditioning and when it came in it sounded like a “jet engine” and it only stayed on frequently for a few minutes.
The reviews of this property were very over rated. Would not stay here again.
We always stay at this hotel when in Ely if we can (sometimes it is full). The service is great and people are friendly and helpful. In addition the rooms are especially clean and maintained. The only complaint is the scarce breakfast that is not a good variety.

So, we walk in and there is trash on the floor. They just scooped the old soap out of the dish and left the goo in the tray.
There were french fries on the floor and tops of junk food on the floor.
There was a hair band in the bathroom full of hair.
So we called the clerk and she offered to go vacuum but she was running the desk where people kept coming in asking for things.
They left about 1 use on the toilet paper holder and no backup.
The gfi outlet at the sink did normt work so my wife could not dry or curl her hair in the mirror.
The real kicker was when we opened the refrigerator and found left over bologna in the fridge - totally unclean.
It was such a same because the room itself was nice - the bed was comfy, the pillows good, the tv worked but we refused to the bath or shower because we were not sure it was ckean
The front desk clerk said she would never leave a room like that and would report it to the head housekeeper. That sure did not help us and housekeeping totally failed so we would not go back or recommend it
Nice room, good internet. Juice machine out of order for breakfast so had to improvise for taking morning pills. Will see if fixed tomorrow. Easy parking and convenient to everything.
