A clean (that's huge!), friendly motel in one of the most beautiful parts of Minnesota. You will not regret staying at this family-run business. More

I will agree the room was clean and the staff was very helpful! We got the last room available and it was the smallest room ever. She did tell me they were going to remodel that room. I would probably stay there again! More

I do agree with the others here the rooms was clean and the staff was very helpful, the only thing I was disappointed in was the room was so small and the bathroom was even smaller, she did tell me they were going to remodel the room. More

In July we visited Ely with a group of motorcycle riders from our church. Roger and Debbie were very welcoming, they even provided the people of the motel with a fire pit to sit around Saturday evening. As far as the motel goes, it is old and not fancy but is very well maintaned and comfortable. Everyone from the owners... More

I was in Ely on business and wanted to stay to enjoy the area. The owners made sure that I knew what was available in the area and were very gracious. The accommodations were excellent. Each day the room was cleaned and restocked. I have never stayed in a motel that had such high clean standards, it was very nice.... More

After a 9 day canoe trip to the Boundary Waters, we landed at this clean, friendly, cheery hub in Ely. The bathtub was retro perfect and hot hot water. Nice nature wallpaper makes rooms feel big. Staff friendly, helpful, down-to-earth. Seemed super safe and family friendly. Great location, we could walk to downtown or park or wherever. We'll be back! More

Clean, affordable accommodations; five star treatment from owners. This is a great get away destination for a few days away from it all. Beautiful scenery along Highway 1. Great, friendly clean town. Owners were very pleasant, and helpful. I'd highly recommend Motel Ely for a great travel experience. More

Enjoyed the trip from Thunder Bay down Hwy 61 to Hwy 1 up to Ely. Beautiful road lots to see. Was greeted by both Roger & Debbie Murwski at the Motel Ely. Being both Harley owners, they treated us great. Very clean rooms at a fair price. They even prommised great weather. Which they delivered. Will be going back this... More
