Newly remodeled rooms are very nice as well as clean and comfortable. Hotel staff are outstanding!!!
Pros:

We were traveling with my wife's older cousin. She is nearly deaf and has significant lung issues. She requires the assistance of a service dog which she had with her. When we arrived the hotel, only rooms on the 2nd floor were available. She enjoyed the hotel so much she asked if we could add a couple more days to her stay. The hotel was able to accommodate adding two nights. Lori at the front desk was able to more her to the first floor in a dog friendly room (dog bed in the room). Additionally, the cleaning staff was able to clean the new room quickly which made the transition between the two rooms seamless. The staff at the hotel are exceptional and quite friendly! We would highly recommend this property.

Would likely use again if I was in the area
Pros:

Very nice hotel rooms and a great restaurant

Cons:

My only concern was the smell of smoke in the casino. They did a great job of keeping that out of the hotel section, but you have to walk through the casino to get from reception to the hotel rooms and to the restaurant. Otherwise it was great

Good value in Ely
Pros:

Friendly front desk staff.

Cons:

If you have any sensitivity/allergy to cigarette smoke DO NOT stay here. You have to walk through the casino to access your room. Once you are out of the casino the smoke/odor is not as noticable.

Perhaps more options than Baker if you’re planning on going to the National Park about an hour away
Pros:

Friendly greeting. Room request for quiet location was met by putting us on the 2nd floor and we did not experience any noisy neighbors which was nice
AC a bit noisy kicking on and off like most hotels but kept room cool.

Cons:

No body asked about our stay or say thanks for visiting. Every place we went (lobby, no smoking section of casino, restaurant and hallways)smelled of old smoke excluding our hotel room. No way to avoid it.
However to be fair, it is still probably one of the better choices available in town.
Bar stated that they were out of stock for our first 3 beer choices so we settled on the few options that were available. We often like to hang at the bar to watch games and play the slots but think the bells and whistles are becoming a bit too loud and obnoxious for our taste. We actually played less and left sooner than we normally would because of the noise.

Hotel pratique pour une halte sur la route 50
Pros:

Lits confortables, SPA sympatique, petites touches d'attention un peu partout. Restaurant dans l'hotel qui était pas mal meme si le cadre était un peu morne (aucune fenêtre donnant sur l'exterieur) mais le service très attentionné.

Cons:

Odeur un de cigarette froide (apres il est autorisé de fumer de dans le casino donc c'est pas surprenant). Déco un peu dans son jus. Clim/Chauffage un peu à l'ancienne.

It's a decent place to stay.
Pros:

The staff was super friendly. The main areas were clean. It was hard to monitor the temperature of the room. The microwave in the room was dirty.

Cons:

The bathroom didn't have enough towels. We checked in with four people and there were only three towels in the batahroom.
