Adventure Inn

Adventure Inn

10/10 Excellent
"I had a great solo trip to Ely, Minnesota and enjoyed staying at the Adventure Inn for 3 nights. The staff was very friendly and helpful with suggestions for restaurants and things to do in the area. They dealt with one situation with a very loud guest having a party well after quiet hours had ended. I would recommend staying here giving them a 10 out of 10."
