One of the oldest hotels in the state, this six-story local landmark dates from 1929 and towers over Ely's historic downtown.

The hotel has a restaurant and small casino, and leather-clad bikers seem to love the place.

This motel at Ely's main intersection was built near the town's old-time jail; the rooms are assigned cell numbers and there are prison bars around the booths at its fancy steak house. Rooms are basic and clean.
