Bristlecone Motel

We liked our stays here in 2026 and 2007, passing through on a bicycle E-W trip back then, and returning from a MT to the SW trip now. Very clean and pleasant, good-value, quiet place. And it’s so easy to just walk across the street for meals. There’s an upstairs two-bdrm suite, very nice, if you are more than two people. We were three in 2007.

Very clean and spacious room. The tile work in the bathroom and the flooring was the best job and neatest I have seen even better than high priced hotels. The breakfast was adequate but limited. A very convenient location for Ely or anything nearby. Friendly and helpful staff.

Aylee and Erica were both extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel is a bit dated, but I was plenty comfortable and it suited my needs just fine. I'd definitely stay here again when I'm in town.

We stayed 3 weeks for work. Never once did they come clean our room. We had to ask to borrow the vaccume and get new bedding so we could do it ourselves. Had to empty our own trash and haul it down. Had to go down many times to get new keys cause we kept getting locked out. The manager is friendly but the young girls who work in office are extremely rude..

Positive: It was easy to find, the young woman at the front desk was helpful, and it was walking distance to an inexpensive Mexican restaurant Negative: No amenities, also no plugs for the tub or sink
