The staff when we checked in was super friendly and helpful. The beds were horrible, pretty sure one of the beds was broken. It was fine for one night passing through. We got to have our dog so that’s important.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Booked based on high reviews. A clean room overall but it fell short of expectations. No microwave oven, no smoke detector - wired for smoke detector but missing. Friendly and helpful staff. Would probably not stay again.

It's Ely at night on a weekday. Not much going on. Bristlecone is the best place in Ely in my opinion. Mexican restaurant next door is good and rooms don't stink of cigarettes or pot like the other hotels.

I always stay here when traveling to/from family in Elko. If they don't have a vacancy, I push on to Elko/Vegas. My only regret this go was that I arrived late and was put in the room closest to the highway so I had some noise but managed to sleep anyway.
