Great place. Clean and cozy. The room was chilly even with the heat up, discovered the next day the window on the door was open. Very quiet stay. No one was around, wasn’t sure if we could put things in the fridge. No local tv, Netflix was provided which was a nice touch but we wanted weather. We would definitely stay again! Appreciate they don’t charge extra for a dog.

we stayed here last year in a different room and really liked the location and ease of checking in.
Bonus !
free coffee and pastry at the nearby coffee shop!
this year , we had the upper most floor and was not perfect for a tall person but still a great place to layover for before or after the BWCA.

Really enjoyed the convenient self service check in. Room was clean and comfortable, and the price was reasonable for the season and area. The included breakfast from the nearby coffee shop was a nice touch! Will definitely stay again next time we're in the Ely area!
