I stayed here for a week, and for the price I'd stay again.

First, there's the Virtual Front Desk (or whatever it's called). I get that it's probably a way to save on staffing, but that thing gave me the ick every morning when I went to grab coffee.

The toilet had a personality. It would only flush if I stood there holding the handle down until the entire flush was finished. Not the end of the world, just...odd.

I upgraded to a room with a microwave and refrigerator because nightly popcorn is a tradition. Turns out there weren't enough outlets to have both the TV and the microwave plugged in at the same time, so I had to choose between entertainment and popcorn. That's a choice no one should have to make.

That said, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the AC cold, the water hot, and the shower pressure was absolutely out of this world.

Overall? It wasn't fancy, but it was clean, comfortable, and the price was right. A few little quirks, but nothing that ruined my week.

I specifically asked for two rooms side by side due to travel with children and that was not accommodated. Was told at check in they were side by side and it wasn’t. Booked my room over 2 months in advance with notes and apparently the staff doesn’t read the notes or plan. I had no soap or anything in the room. Luckily I brought my own and was only staying 1 night.

Worst motel check-in experience ever. I felt lil I was in the movie Total Recall. I had to talk to a kiosk with a young lady that spoke broken English over a terrible speaker. Thank goodness a woman came out from a closed door behind the check-in counter to help translate or I never would’ve been able to check-in. Then to top it off my card key didn't work and I had to go through that terrible experience again. I finally just yelled at her to give me another key card, which she understood loud and clear

Good location at top of the hill just above downtown on US 6-50 close to Subway, just about only place open nearby for late evening food, since downtown is torn up with construction. Electrical outlets near bed difficult to use, though with extra effort they work ok. King bed good, though a queen for 2 would be preferable. Main issue was no microwave, coffeepot or fridge in room. Ice machine and shared microwave in lobby.

I stayed at this motel several years ago and due to the horrible condition of the property, vowed never to stay there again. But I checked the most recent reviews and they seemed pretty good. I thought maybe they had updated the place. The room appeared better at first. But apparently they just placed Band-Aids over everything. In the first room, water was literally seeping through the floorboards in the entire room…from the bathroom all the way to the front door. They moved us to a second room. There were visible leaks and sagging on the ceiling in the bathroom. The front door was crooked so the deadbolt wouldn’t lock. Everything was dirty and dingy in general.
To make things even more unpleasant, they do not have actual staff at the front desk. You speak to and check-in with someone through a computer from an outsourced call center. However, they did have a staff member available to address the issues with the water leak in the first room.
I cannot fathom how this place has received the amount of good reviews it has. I frequently stay at Motel 6, so I know what to except, and the bar isn’t set very high. But this place is just bad.

Weird to walk in and walk to a screen in the lobby, but whatever, I can adapt, but there is nothing like a kind, warm body behind a desk. The person on the screen in check in was hard to understand and seemed annoyed when I couldn’t understand him. Room was super small and the ‘renovation’ was poorly done….caulking that looked like a kindergartener did it and missing tiles. Dirty back board on bed. Dirty TV that didn’t work well. Lawn was weedy and over-grown. Hair, not my hair on the bathroom floor. Do not recommend.

Automated check in. Twice we've stayed here and our Request for lower floor no stairs has never been given. Hotel was next to empty both times. We had to carry our 50lb dog up/downstairs because she can't climb stairs. She's not A small dog. If you offer rooms for dogs allow them for lower floors as well, especially in cases where seniors are involved. We will not stay here again for this reason. Stairs are not easy for all people with dogs.

This place has really gone down hill. No one works the desk at check in. You have to speak to someone in India through a kiosk located in the office. I couldn’t understand anything he was saying. Finally got the key to come out of the kiosk but of course it didn’t work. Let’s just say check in was a disaster. Microwave broken. No coffee in the room. In wall heater would not stay on. Shower curtain to short and not long enough. Bathroom all wet after shower. Only one ceiling light in the room and the bed stand lights did not work. The window curtain does not close all of the way because the AC heater is partially in the window. No tissue paper. The Indians that own this hotel are so cheap they won’t pay for tissue, coffee or heaters that stay on and don’t automatically shut down. But being so cheap you won’t hire someone to work at the desk is just too much. The Person on the Kiosk in India that they pay a dollar a day could not fix any of problems. Do yourself a favor and skip the Motel 6 in Ely.

This is one of the sketchiest experiences ive ever had. I went to check in but there was no one there except a big screen. Then an Indian pops up to check me in that barely spoke English and Im certain he was located in India. He proceeds to tell me scan my ID so i do then he tells me to scan the other side, then i have to scan my credit card. So now all my personal information and CC info, is all located on some computer in India. I felt like i was being scammed for sure. Then you consider everyone has to do that. They probably have all the personal information linked to a CC on thousands and thousands of people sitting on a computer in India. How does that make you feel? The hotel itself was under construction so not the best but the room was descent. Because of the check in situation im not sure id ever want to stay there again. What if the hotel was bought by an Indian then a couple years later he declares bankruptcy or sales the place. They now have the personal info of thousands of people.

We did poke our noses into a different casino-related property down the road and immediately departed due to the odor of smoke. We'll stay there again on the way back.

I have never checked into a hotel with a guy in a box before. That was an experience I hope to never have again. We have stayed at this place once before and it was fine.
We were probably one of maybe four rooms occupied. I asked for a room on the ground floor and was told since I booked through Expedia I didn’t pay enough to have a room on the ground floor. I should have booked directly through them to get that privilege.
When we got to the room it was ok until we went into the bathroom. The toilet was clean thankfully. The shower curtain had what appeared to be nose burgers wiped on it. Yuck. The shower had pink and orange mold all around it. Yuck again. Needless to say we didn’t use it. There was a hole in the wall where there should have been an exhaust fan. We will not be staying here again.
