Don't judge this book by its cover.
My family and I stayed in Ely on our way to Las Vegas. I wanted to stay in the 'Brand New' La Quinta Inn, but my husband really didn't want/plan on paying $90. So our next option was the Best Western for $54. On the outside it looks a little run down (it's an old building, expected not to look brand new). But the room was totally remodeled. New carpet, new bed and bedding, new furniture, new bathtub, no smoky smell at all... It also came with a refrigerator and microwave which was really nice since we have kids, we could put their milk/juice in and not have to worry about keeping the ice chest cool enough. I would definitely stay here again! No it's not a super fancy hotel, but for $50 it was Great, more than I expected.
