Our room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable but nothing to see out of windows except other houses. Would have liked a vanity in bathroom, pedestal sink is not convenient. The one thing I would say that we didn't like at all was that the parking spaces were so limited.

we stayed here last year in a different room and really liked the location and ease of checking in. Bonus ! free coffee and pastry at the nearby coffee shop! this year , we had the upper most floor and was not perfect for a tall person but still a great place to layover for before or after the BWCA.

I was driving a big work truck, and parking was a little tight. Check-in was easy, once I got the door code for remote check-in. Its an old building with creaky floors, but remodeled, clean, and very cute. Shared kitchen is a nice feature.

Exceptional stay
Wow, so impressed! This cute house turned Inn is in town walkable to everything. There are 5 bedrooms with use of the common area living room with fireplace, dining area, kitchen and dining table on the outside deck. We were in The Crimson Room which had an outside entry door too. Coffee and teas, games and books and cards are available. Free coffee and a breakfast item was provided at the coffee shop one block down the street. Refrig/freezer was nice to keep our drinks and cooler items cold, ice was nice to have for cold drinks. Our room was cozy with built-in bed, little sofa and large bathroom. Everything is new-like, no carpet anywhere so smelled nice, and in excellent condition. Self check-in was easy. We met other nice guests while we were there. I would highly recommend if you are ever in the area. Thank you to the owners for such a great stay. We will definitely be back.

Wouldn’t stay here again. Drove past the hotel 3 times before “finding” it. Hotel sign not very visible. There was a few sticky, black marks on floor of hotel room. There were no batteries in the remote for the television. I called the after hours number and told them and they said they would try and find someone to bring batteries. The “Ivory” room were booked is advertised with a television and cable tv. You need a remote control to work the tv. I would never stay here again. It has been about two hours since I reported tv remote not working. I have not heard anything back from anyone.

As somebody who is allergic to dogs, I guess I would have liked a bit of a heads up that they allowed animals on this property. There were several clumps of dog hair left behind on the ground throughout the room and the bathroom. I did take photos, but I did not alert staff. We did not spend much time in the room, we pretty much were just there to sleep. Pretty pricey for just one night, but it is a tourist town so it was expected.

We stayed here 3 nights with our two dogs in the Crimson Room. We enjoyed the great location and walkability around Ely. Other than a dusty headboard the room was very clean. I also liked the convenient access with key codes. The Crimson Room is really small and with our bags, shoes, and two dogs who slept on the floor, it was a real challenge. The private entrance was a nice feature with the dogs. It would have been nice to have a shelf or side table or something to set things on. The only place to lay anything down like a phone, keys, or a cup of coffee was on the headboard of the bed (which was very dusty). They do need to fix the interior door to the Crimson Room. It's loose and anytime someone else opens or closes a door in the rest of the building the Crimson Room door rattles. Another thing to keep in mind is the place is covered in wood (floor, walls, and ceiling). It looks nice, but there is little to no fabric anywhere and that makes every little noise audible. When I was laying in bed I could hear people going up and down the stairs at various hours. The first couple nights we stayed, there were guests in the other rooms that decided to party and be loud in the common area till late in the night which was annoying. Overall, I would say it's a great place to stay in the right situation. Like if you have a large family gathering or a large group, it's a nice idea with the shared common areas.

Had problem accessing room with new password entry locks. Had to wait about 20 minutes for a person to arrive to provide assistance. There is not adequate lighting outside the Evergreen room to be able to see the numbers on the password entry pad to succeed in accessing the room. Loved the dining/gathering room and kitchen availability! An appearance update for the "boutique" experience would be to have the pillowcases on the bed be pressed/ironed. The crinkled, un-ironed edges on the pillows looks tacky and lacks a professional appearance, if going for an upscale boutique look/status. Everything else was great! Would come back again. Evergreen room was very clean. A light breakfast through Northern Grounds was enjoyed in the morning.

Stayed in the Indigo room and it was just lovely. The beds were comfortable. The place was very tidy and neat. Everything was provided down to the Q-tips and cotton balls. I will definitely stay here again and recommend it for anyone who wants to be in the downtown area close to everything within walking distance.
