I am originally from Ely. I have stayed at many places there…. But this was my first time there. I was pleasantly surprised at the room. First of all… it was clean ! The bed was comfortable…. The water pressure was awesome and there was plenty of hot water ! Also had a microwave and a refrigerator…. Plus a coffee maker.
I would stay here again…..

We stayed in a room with 3 queen beds, one being in a separate room. It was very nice, and the owners were very friendly and accommodating. We had a great stay and would highly recommend!

Nice clean place
Perfect for our needs. Had three queen bed's for me and the four girls. Very clean rooms with plenty of towels. Comfortable bed's. Microwave, mini fridge. We were able to open windows for fresh air. Was nice weather. Very close to Voyager Park. Very walkable safe town with lots of cool shops. Owners were very accommodating. Definitely would recommend.
