Top Ely Hotel Reviews

Motel Ely

10/10 Excellent

"The personal touch by the owners. Full of information and very accomodating. Room spotless, A/C was great, altho didn't need it much. Parking can be tricky but FELT VERY SECURE on the entire property."

Poplar River Condos

8/10 Good

"Nice room. Very clean. Our bed was squeaky and the room too warm (we just opened windows), but otherwise. Truly wonderful stay."

Northwoods Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

Oveson Pelican Lake Resort and Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Hot tubs and pool down the price should have been lowered"

Caribou Highlands Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is incredible, super warm, accommodating and also nice to chat with while you are getting checked in. The property itself is very well maintained, and the location is really great. Close to the lake and a great sunset view. Highly recommended!"

The Cliff Dweller on Lake Superior

8/10 Good

"We have been staying at Cliffdweller over the past 10 years. I have to say I am a little disappointed in the direction it’s heading. It felt much more person with the care initially. But now it’s just like any other budget hotel. The view is great. But breakfast not until 8? Way too late. And not much to speak of. It’s lost its charm which is what made it special. For the price it should be better."

Timber Trail Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great property. Right on the lake. They rent stand alone cabins and also have several motel style cabin themed rooms. There wasn't a TV in the motel room but was a fire ring outside!"

Saganaga Lodge

8/10 Good

"Could have had more tp and bathroom supplies. Beautiful views. Lake access. Super updated."
