Main Motel - An Independent

We booked with Expedia at a very reasonable price. The room was clean and had all the amenities one would expect…tv, microwave, refrigerator. The owners were extremely friendly and ready to please.

Accidentally left the card in the room while I went to get something out of the car and the door automatically locked me out. No one in the office and no one answers the phone. Avoid this place and go somewhere else where you are actually able to get ahold of someone. Not worth it.

First, we don't normally stay is a motel with few stars. But we are grateful for the vacancy as Ely was pretty much sold out the night we were there and the place we stay at frequently was sold out. The best part was the price and the clerk. Michelle us very friendly, available when needed, and helpful. So why three stars? I can't rate against other motels in this price range as I don't that experience. The room was clean and had enough room for one night. At first, we didn't think the TV worked but it was the remote that didn't work. Batteries, I guess. We did figure out how to operate it manually and were able to get the channel we like. There were no cups in the room, but Michelle brought some right down when we asked. We didn't take a shower because it looked like there might be some unusual substance in the tub. Upon further inspection I think it was rust where there was a chip in the porcelain. Parking is tight but works. The place is quite old and hasn't been updated. It was quite at night and about two blocks from the Rack where we usually eat dinner when in town. Also, there's a small park down the block.
