Traveling Mom with kids, The area felt pretty secure, it is well lit at night. I had a coffee machine, microwave & a fridge. It was very affordable. I knew it was not going to be fancy as it is an older building; I can say the property was very well maintained. The shower worked and the bed was clean and comfy. There is a thrift shop right across from the establishment. On a side note the communication between the hotel and expedia was great, booking and check in was a breeze thru the phone.
Perfect place for a quick overnight stop while driving from LA to Boise. Ely gets cold during the winter, but we managed to stay very cozy. Having a door code made check-in easy and flexible. Would book again!
Best value for a clean quiet place. Would stay here again

The room was super clean and nicely decorated. The bed was comfortable, the property was well-taken care of, and the owners were responsive to our inquiries. Location is central to restaurants, shops, etc. We will stay here again next time we are traveling through Ely. Highly recommend!
Nice comfortable bed, clean and comfy room. The breakfast was awesome.

Funky, with spirit! I love the fact that the new owners were up front about their investment in the older property and passionate about gradually bringing it up to speed. It’s a classic motel in need of care, which means in need of customers. The room was totally clean, easy access, and easy parking for a motorcycle. I’m sure I’ll stay again, as it’s on my US 50 route for road trips. Keep this one going!
I stayed in a basic economy room and it was excellent value. Nice and clean, really comfortable bed and the shower was very powerful. Would definitely stay here again.
Property is conveniently located at the Center of Ely, Nevada. Owners are not in the property but they are very responsive and check in is easily done over the phone. Will stay again at this property in the future!
This is a great find in Ely. There is a bit of construction on the main drag but once done, it will be so much nicer and the downtown will be revitalized. This property is walking distance from downtown. They gave us a breakfast voucher for a local restaurant (in walking distance) and the food was top notch. The property is vintage, but relatively peaceful and super clean and tidy. I'm pretty sure it's headed for boutique chic in a few years.
I chose by lowest price, was pleasantly surprised to find room very clean and comfortable. Right on main road so a little noisy but got a good nights sleep.

Clean room and comfortable beds. Renovations not complete but looks like they are getting there. A little trouble getting our check in info, owner was finally reached and apologized saying his phone had died. We were able to get in and had a restful nights sleep!

Old but clean and comfortable
The hotel was old (as is almost everything else in Ely) but the hotel was clean, check in was easy, and the showers were hot! The beds were comfortable, although a little hard, but overall a decent place, especially for the price. We would definitely stay here again.
We stayed @ Grand Central for 2 nights it’s a clean room no smells or bugs & quiet place with a friendly neighborhood . My husband Robert enjoyed staying specially me the wife 😇 I love to watch outside peacefull with a beautiful view beautiful small town so relaxing . We don’t mind to recommend this Motel to our friends .
Cheap and quirky small town motel, you get what you pay for (in a good way). I crashed here for a night on a road trip. Quiet spot, contactless check in, payment, check out etc. means you don't even have to speak to another human during your stay (unless you want to, of course), which was new to me but a pleasant experience. Would def stay here again if I'm ever back on Hwy 50.

The bed was comfortable. The heater in my room was out of order, so the owners lent me a space heater. I'd stay there again. Quiet and safe.
The room & bed were very comfortable. Good mattress & remodeled room. The shower was nice too. I also loved that I had access to Disney + included. So cool. Very happy with this place & great deal too!
