This is a great spot to stay if you're visiting Great Basin National Park. The staff was incredibly…read moreaccomodating. Thank you for letting us check in an hour early! The suite was very, very clean. The grounds were well maintained with a family of deer and turkey! The gravel road to get into the canyon would be easier to travel with a high clearance vehicle. Don't count on cell phone service while you're there, but you won't need it. Plenty of space to lounge, swim, or walk the grounds. The scenery is beautiful. Loved watching the sunrise and sunset here. They also have a great selection of food, drinks, and other items at their market. Loved staying here!

This place is AWESOME! From beginning to end we had a wonderful stay. Staying in the canyon was…read moresuper beautiful. There is a staircase built into it that you can climb up and view the sunset which we really enjoyed. The owner was so friendly and helpful. We got a breakfast credit to use in the market and were surprised at how much it got us! The rooms were very clean and cozy. All of the lights are turned off at 9:45 pm to be able to view the dark sky and it was truly epic. The commute to Great Basin is about 20 minutes so it was super convenient for us to stay here. Can't recommend this place enough! I hope to go back some day.

There is quite a bit of seating with some pretty awesome decorations. I loved the lighting which was big wagon wheels with old lanterns attached to it. Our waiter was this nice young lad, very friendly and very kind. He was helpful on figuring out what to eat A place I would come back to when I am in town again.

I didn't give it 5 starts because a hole above the shower made me uncomfortable. Like what if there's a camera up there. I asked them to cover it with atleast some duct tape. They said they would while I was out hiking all day and they did not. Other than that staff was friendly and easy check in. I ordered a breakfast burrito and it was huge & delicious!

This place has lots of history and is the cheapest in town for a nights stay by a long shot. While…read moreit gets the job done it feels rather dirty and grunge. I'd call it a dive hotel, bar, and gaming room all in one. It's clearly the biggest gaming room in town and attracts lots of smoking and can be crowded compared to other hotel/casinos but the staff was very nice. I was in stopping at garnet hill for a geology roadtrip and it was great accommodations for just sleeping.

Not bad at all! Friendly staff, like super friendly. Looks like just an old highway motel on the…read moreoutside, and probably was prior to the interstate system being built. It's a tad run down and has its blemishes, but the room itself is clean and cheap enough for the amenities. Fridge, micro, clean bed, blazing fast WiFi. Easy in/out. Did I Mention clean?

Firstly, this is no longer a BestWestern. It is under Magnuson now…read more I came to stay in Ely by way of the Astronomy Festival in Great Basin and this was the closest place with a decent hotel that wasn't a tent or an RV within an hour's drive. 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!

Husband and I stayed here for 1 night. We got a non-smoking room with a king size bed and sofa in…read morethe room. Room was spacious. Bed is very comfortable with plenty of pillows. 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 :)

Booked two nights here to visit the area. It turned out to be a good deal. When we arrived, the…read morefront desk staff was very welcoming and helpful. 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.
