The Grand Central is nothing fancy, but it is truly clean and comfortable. One of those last little motels that you can stay in that is safe clean and inexpensive. Loved it.

My favorite part is parking right in front of my room, unloading my things into the room, having a code to get into my room, and I really like the ambience of the TV being on the screensaver.

Old but clean and comfortable

The hotel was old (as is almost everything else in Ely) but the hotel was clean, check in was easy, and the showers were hot! The beds were comfortable, although a little hard, but overall a decent place, especially for the price. We would definitely stay here again.

Remote checkin via text. A code is sent to you for entry to your room. Very old school decor but the bed and bedding is top shelf

Peaceful and Quaint

We chose The Grand Central Hotel understanding it was under new management, operated by a young family. It is a charming hotel, not new, but cute and peaceful. One of the managers, Ian, was quick to answer my questions and extremely helpful prior to our arrival. It's a smaller size room we rented, one bed, it was very comfortable. It's a pet friendly hotel, no extra charge, perfect for our 17lb dog. It's not a fancy hotel, but you can tell the owners take pride in the upgrades they've made with more to come. Check in was super easy. The Mexican restaurant, Rivas, is located directly across the street and was very good. They had outside tables, so you can take your pet. We will be sure to stay at The Grand Central Hotel next we come to Ely. It was great for an overnight getaway from St George, Utah.

I’ve definitely paid way more for way less. This little property is a diamond in the rough. New owners are working diligently to constantly improve. A great place to stay as we passed through.
Melissa, 1-night trip

Love the price for a convenient and quick stop-over. Easy to find. Room access was easy. No need to check-in. Bed was clean, room was overall clean but that carpet ... yikes!! Pets are allowed, however there is no place for dogs to go potty. I had to wander the sketchy neighborhood to find a suitable place.
