A heads up on being trapped in the parking lot for the marathon for most of the day Saturday, would have been nice. The rest of the experience was great.

For the price , our stay was good. We had the kitchenette and everything worked and was clean. However the futon in the room needs replacing badly as well as the mattress in bedroom. Also there was noTV in the main room, only in the bedroom. Best parking of any hotel in Ely proper
