Most of the motels in Ely are old structures from the '50s and perhaps even earlier. The owners of the Magnuson have done an excellent job of refurbishing the room. It was clean and tidy and the carpet looked new. Internet access is a little difficult but that's true in Ely generally. The TV kept fading off and on again it may be the issue with dish which is not of the owners making The water was lovely and hot. They had a large assortment of items in case you forgot them including small packets of toothpaste. I would definitely stay here again on my occasional trips into Ely
Do not trust the glowing reviews. This is one of the worst motels I've stayed at of nationwide travels. We expected outdated for $87 but not a room that appeared to be in no condition to rent. The subfloor was rotted, bulging in places and severely uneven. The rotted wood cracked anytime we walked around the room. There were no baseboards and gaping holes between the carpet and wall and we couldn't help wonder what creepy crawlys were coming through there and getting onto the bed skirts that dragged on the floor. Beds and springs were shot and creaky. Bedding so old and threadbare that you could see through them, blankets scratchy, tv and ice machine didn't work, and the whole room was in need of a deep clean. We would have slept in our vehicle if overnight temperatures hadn't been below freezing.

The parking lot was a real mess and the area sketchy. I didn’t see any security cameras either. Discouraging if you have stuff in your car. The office was supposed to open at 7 AM for continental breakfast but at 7:15 the door was still locked. I just wanted coffee and finally at 7:30 someone showed up but I assumed they would have to make the coffee, so I just went across the street. Otherwise it was clean and there is an attempt to update the place. The bed was comfortable.
