    I've gotten so lucky with Holiday Inn's across the country, and I've stayed in so many (Platinum Elite status). I rarely leave reviews for them because in the end, they're just all the same. However, this location in this lil town blew them all out of the water! I know, how unexpected! Here are some highlights about this particular location: NON-SMOKING: I rarely travel to Nevada because I have no interest in smoke-filled casinos and bars. My nose and lungs totally appreciate this hotel's "no smoking" policy. CHEAP BUT GOOD: For two nights, book two days before arrival, we only paid about $360.00. The building seems pretty new. The entire room was huge and spotless. Comfy bed, great water pressure from the shower and amazing offering for breakfast. BREAKFAST: Phenomenal spread. You get it all. Bagels, toast, pancakes, cereal, juices, sweet treats, hot food including eggs, omelets, sausage, bacon, biscuits and gravy along with all the condiments you may need. And it's damn tasty. This is your best option for a clean, quiet and comfortable stay in Ely.

    Being a Holiday Inn IHG Platinum member I get early check in if available and a free room upgrade. This hotel is one of the better Holiday Inn's I've stayed at, and I've stayed at a lot! The hotel is nice and well maintained and the staff is friendly. The prices thought, I guess out here in Ely, prices are just high due to location. Room was about $170 a night. Here for a couple of night is all, and it's all expensed out, so no biggie. The room was nice and everything worked fine and I didn't find any hairs another color than mine. WiFi was fine too. Free breakfast is included. It's pretty much the same as all the rest of the Holiday Inns with all the same selections. I do love those cinnamon rolls! The coffee is out 24/7 so that's a good thing. This was probably the best choice out here in Ely to stay.

    This hotel seems to be very new and is probably one of the best places to stay in Ely. I found everything to be very well maintained and especially clean. The breakfast is included and I also thought it was much better than what is typically offered at other places.

    Beautiful hotel in Ely, NV. I am a Holiday Inn Express fan. I think they are the cleanest, nicest, most affordable hotels you can find in their respective price range. And this location is no exception. This is a new, very nice hotel in Ely, NV. If we stop on our trips to/from Idaho/California Ely is the closest thing to "halfway" so it's nice that there is a Holiday Inn Express here now. They are pet friendly at this location which is a HUGE plus! There is a $10 additional fee per pet, but it's well worth it. The rooms are large, and clean. The beds were very comfortable. The hotel, as I said, is new so all of the features are updated. Our room had a mini fridge, coffee maker, and microwave in it as well. They have their standard Holiday Inn Express Breakfast which is the best hotel breakfast in my opinion, and it's included in the price of the room. This location also has an indoor pool and fitness center. We didn't use either, but they looked nice. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The only note I have, is there was some kind of sensor (smoke detector, CO2?) directly over our bed which blinked ALL night, and BRIGHTLY! It kept my wife and I both awake. I eventually had to cover it up so we could get some sleep.

    Warm oatmeal and pancakes for breakfast! Plus coffee.

    Holiday inn Ely This was the cleanest hotel we visited on our entire trip! There was no dust anywhere! We all were very impressed how everything was clean. The breakfast was not a takeout bag, for a change, but they had two ladies who served people whatever they wanted (hot and cold choices). People stayed 6-feet apart. I was able to bring the food up to the room for my kids which was great as I didn't want them among others during Covid. There was coffee downstairs but also in the room. The hotel has a hot tub and a pool which were also very clean. Everyone had masks. View from our room was great. Highly recommended!

    I love the view even though its a garage yard. The snow on the back hills with a light snow are beautiful..

    Its been a while since I wrote a review but I wanted to do one today. We were driving to Twin Falls, Idaho from Southern California and needed a place to stay for the night. This Holiday Inn will definitely be one we come back too. The rooms were clean and the people were very friendly. After a long drive and feeling tired with kids this place was a God sent. Not to mention the free breakfast which was a win win..

This hotel and gambling hall is located off E. Aultman St. which is also Great Basin Hwy. Out front are a few big sculptures. Parking is free here. I booked the room using Spark.com website. I got a Dlx Dbl Rm 2 Queens for $104.08 x 2 nights + $28.09Tax = $236.15. Breakfast is not included. Our room was on the second floor. I don't think there is an elevator here. We used the stairs. Upon check-in, we were given 2 drink tickets good for 2 Well Drinks from the Prospector Lounge. The room was nice, nicer than I thought it was going to be! It was nice that there was a safe in the room as well as a microwave and a larger mini-fridge. In the room, we were given some candy and earplugs. We didn't need the earplugs. We didn't hear anything going on in the hallway during our stay. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well! We stayed here for two nights. If you desire to have some wine in your room, there are two bottle of Wolfgang Puck Wines for purchase. There's an on-site restaurant called Margaritas. It seemed like a cozy place to eat. We saw the steak and decided to give it a try, but we should have opted for a Mexican entrée instead. Maybe it would have been better. The Gambling Hall is the casino. It isn't in a room with a divider or barrier so the smoke is pretty prevalent. I truly felt like I was transported back to before the 1980's when smoking was allowed everywhere! I think smoking is not allowed in the Guest Rooms. I would not hesitate to book another room here again.

This might be the only hotel at this tier that offers you a toothbrush and toothpaste (even though the brush was terrible, but it was something!) Note that there is a microwave and refrigerator for your convenience in your room. Also, there's a coffee machine to make tea. The Mexican restaurant was also very good at a decent price. I'm a seasoned traveler and I am happy I got to stay here and would stay here again if I ever come up this way.

It had a king in one room, a queen in the other, and a full pull-out couch in the common area. There was also a kitchenette (mini fridge, microwave, sink, counter and cupboard space). The bathroom was roomy and had a spa tub with jets. We were in the "executive rooms" building across the parking lot from the main building (literally only a 30 foot walk). It is two story and did not have elevators. The couch bed, when folded out, partially blocked one bedroom door and made passing to the other side of it impossible without crawling over the bed, which was unfortunate. It was also a really low-quality, lumpy, springy mattress. But at least we had bed space for everyone. There is only one a/c unit (in the common area) , so to cool the bedrooms you have to keep the doors open. The jetted tub was a really nice surprise. The one jet behind the back was pretty weak, unfortunately, but the other four were good and strong and felt great. Breakfast was good: waffles, biscuits and gravy, cheese omelettes, a variety of cereal, toast, muffins, fruit, oatmeal, yogurt. The juice was really good: real, fresh orange juice instead of the usual watery stuff, and POG juice! There was also a great selection of 8 different teas, all good brands (no Lipton!) which I really enjoyed. The kids loved the pool, which is heated, and the hot tub. It is a chlorine pool. If you have to stay in Ely, this is the place to do it.

I`ve been traveling to Ely on and off for the last 20 years and have stayed here and there around town, but decided to try to save a few bucks and stay at Rustin Inn last time. I thought perhaps this was a diamond in the rough. Maybe I have high standards when it comes to a place being "clean". I don`t know. Let's just do a pros and cons list to make this easy. Pros: -Cheap. I paid $55 for a night -Location was on the main road, so it felt relatively safe -Hot shower -Nice owner -Parking right outside your room Cons: -When I arrived, no one was in the office, which is totally fine, but there was a note on the door that had guest names and the rooms they were staying in(directing them to the room number). I don`t love a note with the room I`m staying in to be available for anyone to view -There is a difference between rustic and dingy. I had room 14 and it was okay, definitely had seen better days. My issue was with the cleanliness. The sheets were formerly white but now were a tan color from wear. The pillows were flat and the actual pillows had stains on them. Pillow covers were the same worn color of the sheets. I slept in my hoodie because I didn`t want to lay on the pillows. Random hair(not mine) in the shower and a less than pristine toilet. I know, I know. This is a cheap motel. The front office looks so cute with the lights and homey feel. The motel has a lot of potential, but it needs repair, updated items, and a deep clean. I`ll pass on this place in the future. For $20 you can stay elsewhere that will be cleaner and more comfortable.

The price was right and who doesn't want to save a buck sometimes? I want to come back when this place is in better shape because there is a lot of potential, but yes, it does need work.

Need more of a lock on the door (keypad and chain lock is OK) Towards the back of the room there is a noticeable dip in the floor I really want to come back and stay in a refurbished room sometime. Some recommendations to the owner( that they didn`t ask for): Gut the carpets and replace with floors, add better top door locks, designate a smoking area so guests who smoke can go there(I am not a smoker and there was a guy who was constantly smoking outside of my room), add short curtains to cover any light that comes through the blinds, hair dryers(even small, cheap ones) would be good. Look, I get it, this is an old motel with decades of repair and grime that is being cleaned up. This is a place that is totally fine for others as is and it was a good price. I can see the direction the owners are going in and the retro vibe they want to achieve, but try to stay in a refurbished room if you are picky about what I have mentioned.

She loves to gamble but husband and I aren't into that so we didn't play. Pool and jacuzzi are inside. Gives me 70s vibe but I think it's groovy. Didn't use it though, forgot my swimsuit. There is a restaurant on site that is open 4pm-9pm. We didn't eat there but that is convenient so you don't have to leave the property.

The room showed some signs of wear, but it was very clean and comfortable. It was spacious enough for us and our 2 dogs. It came with two bottles of water in the fridge and cookies, both were complimentary. Breakfast was pre-packaged at the front desk and it had a breakfast sandwich, juice, breakfast bar and fruit, all in paper bag for you to take with you either back to your room or on the road. There is no fitness center at the property, but you sign out a fob and go a short distance up the street to Anytime Fitness, which beats any hotel fitness center.

The outside facade leaves a lot to be desired, but this place is the pillar of the old adage "don't judge a book by its cover"! Though, some of the other guests staying at the hotel were a bit suspect. After a weird interaction w/the front desk clerk (who I could not get to understand that I had already paid for my room through my Orbitz reservation) where I had to call my credit card company to tell her the charge for the room had already been made and who seemed a bit out of it, I finally made it up to my room. Thankfully, I was on the 2nd flr and had no one staying on either side of me, so I had a very quiet experience. Also, parking seemed limited, but there did not appear to be a lot of other guests there when I was, so I never had a problem finding a space, especially right in front of my room. To my very pleasant surprise, the room was spacious, well appointed, clean, had great water pressure in the shower, a big tv, micro and fridge...and the best part (I rarely say this about a hotel) was the bed!
