Only person staying at the property and I was put in the noisiest room (107) right next to the busy highway. I would have asked to move rooms but the staff was gone by 6:30. This is my third stay here, and my last, as each stay has been progressively worse. Last time the water to my room was shut off. Two hours later the water was on but was a disgusting brown color. Not fit to wash in or brush my teeth. Since I travel through Ely regularly I will definitely find another place to stay.

Room was clean and the staff was polite. But it could use newer remodeling. The breakfast was a meager offering, but better than nothing. And what they had was suitable. I appreciated it because our one night stay was just to rest, get up and have coffee and be on our way. And that is probably the exact clientele they are used to. I would stay here again if I needed to.

Always a nice stay considering the choices. It’s like visitingyour parents house. If they aren’t up when you arrive they leave a special note to tell you where the key is to get in!! This is always our go to motel in Eloy.

I arrived later in the day and after staff had closed the office, but they made sure I was able to get into my room, putting a lot of thought into it and reaching out to me for instructions. The room was a good sized one, although the windowed door was a curiosity I had never seen before.

We have stayed at this hotel many times over the years. This time the place seemed a bit more rundown and not as clean as usual. We love the spacious room we stayed in, and the price was fair.
