Found the Bristlecone Motel via Tripadvisor and since it had some decent reviews we decided to give it a try. What a pleasent surprise. Very clean, pretty friendly and definetly great value for the money. While there we, I, forgot a box I was taking to my daughter in Texas. A small box with a couple family bibles in them.... More

Traffic noise from the highway but clean and comfortable room with a queen-sized bed, small table with two chairs, small fridge, small coffee-maker brews just one cup at a time and came with one decaf & two regular (delicious) coffee in packets. Microwave available in the office, if you need it. Good sized CTR-TV which had HBO but the low... More

After a long day we found this motel from recommendations from trip advisor. Clean, comfortable and a friendly gal at the front desk. We were very pleased with this motel. We would definitely stay here again.

We needed to stay overnight in Ely and after searching on TripAdvisor we settled on this property. I agree with a previous review that this is a great mom and pop establishment. We stayed in the room with 3 queens, which was perfect for our travel group. We found it to be very clean, even in the nooks and cranies... More

We stayed here on our drive to Las Vegas. The area was beautiful, but cold and snowy. This motel is exactly as described, homey, comfortable and clean. Had a frig and coffeemaker and the best shower. I would definitely stay here again when driving thru beautiful Nevada.

What a pleasure to find this room. Mom & pop Drive-up, 2-story operation; park in front of room for ease of unload. Manager showed us a darling 2-bed room that was warm, clean, modern, and had fantastic beds with thick, wonderful pillows. Even the shower has good water pressure. Small fridge and Coffee in room but no micro. Comfortable and... More

Excellent, clean & reasonable overnight stop en route from south to north. Quiet. Can park right outside door (we always choose ground level); has fridge, coffee-maker in room. Will stay here again on our way back & forth.

In a seven week road trip in south western USA this was, by far, the worst place that we stayed. Our room was very small, dowdy and getting on towards shabby. The towels were thin and skimpy (and mainly green!). The motel is located right on a busy crossroads and our room was right next to the road. We could... More

I am sorry you had that experience staying with us. The noise from the street does tend to be a little distracting, beings we are located on highway 50. I am also sorry you didnt like the towels, they are one of our most complemented items. They are from the JC Penneys Home Collection and not the average motel towel.... More

Even though we were assigned what was probably the least-desirable room in the motel (ground floor on the highway,) we slept very well. The bed was excellent, room very clean, towels big and fluffy, and internet worked well. The bathroom is miniscule, but sufficient. The location is convenient to stores, restaurants and even a casino.

This motel has a friendly staff, rooms that are as clean as they smell and the parking is excellent. It's close to the grocery store and post office, too. The internet works great. It even has a table with chairs to use as a mini office. I slept good and woke up feeling great. It's a nice place.
