My boyfriend and I stayed overnight Sunday, September 11, 2022 with a reservation.  We arrived 9:45 p.m., before the office was to close at 10 p.m.  The office had already closed.  We were able to enter Room 135 because I saw a staff person had affixed to the office door an envelope with my name that contained the keycard.  

When I entered and turned on the light, I immediately saw that the bed was unmade.  We quickly saw that staff hadn’t changed the sheets, which contained a few hairs with a stain on the fitted sheet.  The two trash cans were not emptied.  There was no soap or shampoo.  The lack of a fridge made the terrible situation complete.  We felt we had no recourse to go to another hotel in Ely, a spec of civilization in a middle-of-nowhere region of Nevada, every other motel likely closed.  

We left the next morning around 6:50, before the office opened at 7:00.  Because there was no key drop, I affixed a sticky note tersely bulleting the deficiencies, stuck it to and wrapped it around the keycard, slid the card in its paper holder, and propped it on the metal push/pull bar of the office door.  

The management never contacted me or offered at least a partial refund.  We will never stay here again.  Do not stay here.

Room not serviced for check-in, and office had closed early

It is easy in and out, as you can park right in front of your room.  The room is clean, it is comfortable, the bed is long enough for tall people, and it is quiet.  We arrived after 8 p.m. and the office was closed, and arrangements were made for us to get in.

Easy to load into the room from the parking lot

Yes the rooms are small, but we've seen much smaller. I'm on a walker and I had plenty of room to move about. Quiet, comfortable. Well located. Easy check in and check out. Good TV. Good Wifi  Plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Comfortable bed. No extras but all the basics.

Serviceable and more

for some dumb reason I reserved a room here.  When I arrived it was scary dumpy and divey like the rooms were used only for short times.  I couldn't drive away fast enough.  Couldn't get a refund thru Expedia but the front desk guy would have refunded if he could have.

avoid at all costs

Don’t let the unprepossessing exterior of this hotel put you off.  It’s clean, comfortable, and cheap.  The staff was helpful, and they provided a very generous breakfast.  It’s about an hour away from Great Basin National Park.

Great Value

Stopped due to Trip Advisor rating.  Not sure if reviews are accurate as there is more than one Magnuson Inn.  Room we rented was a one queen bed room.  Turned out to be rather small, no room for a desk or seperate chair.  Some road noise could be heard, but not too bad.  Beds were comfortable.  Room was clean.  Air conditioner was relatively noisy when compressor kicked in.  We were charged more than Trip Advisor's noted price, but we just stopped in w/o getting an advance reservation.  They offer a continental breakfast, but offerings were meager.  Coffee, a few juices, and some breakfast sandwiches and few muffins.  Just passing through, but if I were to return to Ely would probably opt to look at some other options in same price range.

There is more than one Magnuson Inn

There are two Magnusson Hotels in Ely, both of which are motels, not hotels.  This review is for 1101 Aultman Street.  We choose it as we drove up Highway 6, sight unseen.  We were fleeing back to Canada as per government orders.  From the road it does not look like much, rather dated and quite small.  The desk clerk was excellent, very helpful.  Our room was large, the king size bed did not consume the room, lots of coffee, very important with all restaurants closed.  As an aside, we rather liked the town of Ely, if we drive to Mexico again we will come this way.

Pretty Darn Good

The staff was wonderful.  We booked a double bed room.  It had a separate area for each bed.  In the back room there was no TV or air conditioning.  There only was an oscillating fan.  The room was clean but it was older.  We only stayed the night so we were okay.  There was breakfast included but opt not to eat.  

Older but clean

If you are on a budget this is the place to stay.  Rooms are clean, linens are  nice .They provide a most basic breakfast ..  It bills itself as pet friendly but then charges you $20 for the pet (that is if you tell them).  Office is unattended so you have to ring for someone to help you.

Spartan but Good

Motel was available for a late night check in on our way from Parker, CO to 
San Rafael, California for a wedding.  The rate was reasonable for an average room with just the basics.  The continental breakfast was not that good but OK.
