Independent Ely hotels

"Very cute room. A nice view of the lake and walking distance to the shore. Would recommend and for future bookings!"

"Very simple hotel, but everything you need. Great location and easy parking. Would stay again!"

"Wonderful little motel. The room was very clean, comfortable bed. It is a very small room with only one smaller table to put stuff on. Just mentioning this for couples that might stay here. If you wish to spend much time in the room it’s a bit small. But it’s Ely, most are outside much of the time. It is a nice 10 minute short walk to shops. It is also right across the road from a gas station for snacks and drinks. There is a microwave and fridge in the room which is a big plus. Was very happy with my one week stay."

"The hotel was clean, our room was nice and clean, the beds were comfortable. The front desk staff was decently friendly, but the food, the continental breakfast was awful."

"The only problem we had was that we couldn’t turn the tv on or off. Staff was helpful with the problem. Good continental breakfast."

"Room was smaller then expected, toilet not working properly, key didn’t work to get onto Fitness/ hot tub area. Probably would not stay at again "

"We stayed two nights during the off season (May 2026). There were very few guests staying at the resort. There were not enough towels, etc. for two people and I had to call for more supplies. I asked that they be dropped off inside the door as we would be gone most of the day. They were left on the ground in front of our door on a rainy day (they were in a plastic bag). No room service was done during our stay (beds weren't made, used towels not exchanged). I called the front desk and was told room service was only completed upon request. They should have told us that at check in time. Although the front desk employees were friendly and professional, the operating policies were not acceptable. I would not recommend this resort hotel."

"We loved the outdoor fire pits! We don’t have that at home so it is very nice to enjoy a bonfire with the sounds of waves near us. It was very relaxing 10/10! The staff here were very very lovely. The grill was good although we were getting very tired and was waiting for our check for about 15 mins. Otherwise everything was amazing!"

"Really nice property and rooms in a great location on the Lake Superior coast."
