“A very well kept motel that brings back the motor lodges of the 50s and 60s. It is simple, but very cozy. Loved it.”
+Ely is a small, beautiful town in far northern Minnesota. Every year they have an Ice Festival where you can view fantastic statues made entirely out of snow/ice. I went up to see the sculptures and stayed at the Motel Ely, It reminded me of motels when my family took road trips. This motel is so quaint, yet every room has a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The beautiful wood paneling made me think I was in a cabin in the woods. I want to emphasize that the simplicity of this place makes it very comfortable. The rooms were extremely well taken care of. The best thing is that there are no phones! I loved the whole experience.

“Big Thumbs Up!”
+Loved Motel Ely! Not your typical modern soulless motel/hotel. While the furnishings are mismatched and rooms are small, everything was spotless and charming. Very cozy. Mid-century-style mini fridge was a nice amenity, and there was a small coffee pot in the room. Proprietor was super friendly and offered info about Ely as well as recommendations for restaurants that were spot on; she clearly values community and supports local businesses. Highly recommend this affordable spot.
