    Wallpaper peeling on all walls.
    Sharon G.

    Pros: good location. Good indoor heated pool/hot tub. Bkfst decent ( good waffles). Cons: extraordinary loud a/c unit, no ceiling fans, sheets are pilled and thin, front desk staff ( tastes and goth gal) rude and unhelpful. Lights out in bathroom/hallway of room. Asked 3x to be fixed to no avail. Told will 'eventually' be doing makeover, so mgmt not allowing bulb replacement (?). No extra blankets in closet. Staff wouldn't honor company website for 2 stays promo. Wallpaper peeling off, lampshades cracked/broken. Dark rooms.

    King size room

    La Quinta in ely is a good spot at the end of the loneliest road to stay. Room a bit outdated, some old furniture, flat pillows with multiple hairs and the bed seemed to curve upwards in some area. Bathrooms were clean though I prefer a shower over a tub with a curtain. You can't beat free breakfast! Overall 3.5 stars.

    Dining area.

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.

I was worried about noise since my room was on the first floor close to the slot machines, but I didn't hear much noise. The shower was wonderful pressure and it gets HOT. Fantastic post hike! 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.

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.

I have been traveling to Ely on and off for about 20 years, so I`ve stayed at a lot of the hotels around town, but decided to gamble on a motel in town for the first time. 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. Let's do two lists for my stay. Pros: Good location Quiet at night(other guests respected an unspoken quiet time after 9 p.m.) Internet is pretty good Streaming services are welcome Exterior is cute Owner Ian is communicative and friendly Best price in town during their revamp Hot water Felt relatively safe as a solo female traveler There was a friendly orange cat who hung out with me for a bit Cons(This is for room 5): The walls are a mess and need repair(holes everywhere) Carpet gave me the ick Lack of outlets Bathroom is in need of...a lot(including better cleaning) Shower handles fell off when I would turn (lol) Curtain rod fell down when I closed the curtain (lol again...) 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.

There is a mini fridge, microwave, coffeemaker, iron, iron board, and hairdryer. You also get a packet of complementary chocolate chip cookies and 2 water bottles. How thoughtful, it's the little things that count :) Casino is small but this would have been perfect had my mother in law joined us for this trip. Wouldn't have to worry about her getting lost. 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. However there is a couple other restaurants that are walking distance from here. They have a grab and go breakfast bag but we didn't get it. Gym is not on the property. It's about 3 blocks away. You will be given a pass to Anytime Fitness. Dog friendly!!! And as of 5/6/23 free of charge for your fur baby. Only con is there isn't a designated spot for your doggie to do their business. However, this wasn't a problem for me since I like to walk my dog for at least a mile so I just walked around the area...I saw some deers !!! The price was worth it for us. We paid $136 for a Saturday. The room was clean, lots of amenities, friendly staff at the front desk, and my favorite it is dog friendly. We would stay here again if we return to Ely :)

We got in around 2pm and took a chance that we could check in. Luckily, there were rooms ready for us and we put into a ground floor room at the "annex' which is diagonally across the street. I'm sure it was another motel at one time and was taken over by Ramada for an expansion. The room we got was a ground floor and in the corner. 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. Like it's been pointed out in other reviews here on Yelp and other sites, the swimming pool and hot tub are in the lobby, just past the slot machines. I've never seen that before! Overall, it was a great experience staying here and will again whenever we are back in the area.

Ely is kind of a town that time forgot and I was a little nervous and dismayed when I pulled into this place off the main drag. 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! It was sooooo comfy, like pillow top mattress comfy and the pillows were plump and plentiful! I was only there for two nights and considering I was sleep deprived due to late night stargazing and the 2hr roundtrip trek to Great Basin NP, it was a welcome relief to come "home" to a warm, clean room, comfy bed, a Law & Order marathon, and a strong wifi connection!
