My husband and I were driving to Montana after exploring Arizona and literally cruised into Ely on fumes. We were tired and looking forward to sleeping comfortably after having been camping and hiking.  I did not want to relive the most awful experience at a Howard Johnson Hotel in Tuscon over a week earlier, so I was a bit uncomfortable that the Great Basin Inn was located on what appeared to be a rather shady area and the office itself was located across the parking lot and connected to a liquor store. That is the only negative. I wasn't so sure the room would be ok but was too tired to ask to look and didn't want to drive around searching for another one. I was very pleasantly surprised with the room. It was clean and the owners put some effort into adding a little charm to what could have been just a regular boring room. The bed was very comfortable, the bedding was colorful and not standard hotel looking. the room was spacious, we don't care about television but there was one. There was a cute little end table with coffee pot and microwave unlike any of the other places we stayed. There was also a little fridge in a charming armoire. Of course it's nothing fancy but we aren't into fancy as much as comfortable and charming-which it was. Also had free wifi. If our travels take us back we will definitely stay again.

Almost a Five Star Rating

This is a small, older motel and we knew not to expect anything fancy.  The lady that checked us in was very nice, and we enjoyed the many collectibles and family pictures on display while we were waiting.  My son and his friend had no problems with the beds in their room, but the ones in the room used by my husband and I were quite lumpy.  The bathroom was a nice size, but the bathtub had a "leproous" appearance so we did not use it.  The shower was in better shape.

Nice people, older motel, some parts need improvement

Horrible place!!! Walked in and saw a horror story about to take place! I went to office to get my money back and leave, lady told me that the people who stay there know what they are getting!!! I left and they only refunded half my money!! The window btw had a board on it and the door couldn’t lock!!! Horrible!!!!!!! The bed looks like someone died and old dried blood was on it! This place should be closed down!

Horror Hotel- should be closed down!!!

Lesson learned.  We didn’t book ahead at one of the bigger chain hotels and they were all booked up.  No choice but the Great Basin Inn.  It was so dirty.  So gross.  The mattress had mold on it so we got another room.  The bed was fine but that carpet...ughhhhh.   The sink had hair in it.  The shower - more hair.  I literally gagged.  We laid some of our own blankets on the bed and slept like that.  We got the heck out of there ASAP that next morning. Do. Not. Stay. Here.

DO NOT STAY HERE

Dirty floors they didn't even vacuum greasy dirt build up Stains and visible dirt, coffee pot was dirty with old grounds and old dried spilled coffee on coffee stand, bathroom tub wouldn't drain and black dirty stains that looked like it had never been cleaned. The only good part was the heater worked but was very load

WORST PLACE EVER

I am a college graduated professional moving to Ely/  Although Not impressed with what I saw on outside of GBI, I called for a monthly rate.  The heavily accented lady seemed nice enough but asked personal questions to get around answering my question.  After forcing her to respond (a price $100 more a month than other motels in the area), I politely declined.   However, wish I could have blocked my telephone id.  I began to feel that I was being sized up for prostitution!   Lucky for me I know how to air a threat to  press charges.

They cannot be serious....

first off, when we got there it was 20 degrees and the door to our room was open. Thats  because you couldnt shut it from the outside. the heater didnt work for about an hour but finally did. we did go ask the manager but she said she had been across the street drinking and couldnt help. the linen was dirty and of course the manager couldnt see the stain but it was there. what a dump. also, there was no knob on the door to the bathroom, and no plate on the light switch.floor was dirty as was the carpet. STAY AWAY !!!!
