Beautiful place right on Garden Lake with access to the Boundary Waters! The motel had comfortable beds and a basic kitchen. My son and I borrowed a canoe for the day and had a beautiful, long paddle to BWCA. We also visited the Wolf Center, hiked, and had a great tour of the Poineer Mine. A very peaceful spot to come home to on our vacation— we hope to return!

Was ok - stayed 2 nights but no breakfast/food despite a restaurant on the property. Had to walk down cement stairs to get to room. Could not enjoy view or open windows due to heavy smokers being outside quite frequently. There are talks about this property being torn down this fall.

Outside of some newer carpet, it didn't look like the place had been updated since the 1960's. NO TV or WIIFI. Lumpy old beds (probably original mattress), Old uncomfortable chairs and sofa/sleeper bed, Worst night of sleep I've had in a long time.

Minimal Comfort

Room was ok, but not spectacular. It was clean but could send an update. Had problems getting the door keys to work. Staff member had used an empty room close to mine to hold her dog while she worked. The poor pooch barked constantly while left alone and so I went to the office to complain. She removed the dog right away. I don't think I'd stay at this place again, even though I liked the location.

We arrived in the dark and had to leave early in the morning so really didn't get to see much of the property. Arriving in the dark was...dark! Lighting around property was limited it seemed. We had lot of stuff to unload from our truck and our room was in the back. We used the access road in back as there was no instruction on map as to how to get to the back. There was no lighting at back of building or on stairs going up to our room which also didn't have any lighting at the door. Luckily we had flashlights. Bed was comfy but the overall look of the place was that it needed a bit of sprucing up. Freezer door in fridge was broken. Cabinet door wouldn't close due to panel above it was broken also and had slid down. Top of stove fan needed cleaning. Just lots of little things that if taken care of would make a huge difference in appearance. But not bad place to stay for a night

This is a classic, old north-woods resort. The room was very clean, well equipped with new appliances, furniture, paint and flooring. The scenery is gorgeous and lots of places to hike. There are lots of families with dogs, good parking and Ely has fun things to do. Loved it!

Older gal who checked us in was rude and did not explain where our cabin was, check out instructions, or anything. Location of the resort was amazing. Also the terrain to get to our room was not maintained well and was very tricky and hard to get to get luggage to and from the car to the room.
