Motel Ely Amenities

Motel Ely has gone green! We’ve supplemented our existing environmental practices with new initiatives to further reduce waste and improve resource efficiency. Some of our new initiatives include the installation of water-saving showerheads, installation dispensers for amenities to eliminate waste, extensive recycling, and a towel reuse option for motel guests. We also use high efficiency light bulbs as well as green cleaning supplies.

Around Town

Ely has a variety of activities and attractions to do all year round! Multiple restaurants, coffee shops, local outfitters, and shops are all within 5 blocks of Motel Ely.

The International Wolf Center, just a mile from the motel, will help you learn about the natural history of wolves by observing the resident wolf pack and touring the “Wolves and Humans” exhibit, while the North American Bear Center promotes and provides educational facilities, exhibits, multi-media presentations, and when prudent — live animals — particularly those needing clinical rehabilitation.

ATV Snowmobiling Ely, MN

ATV Friendly

Motel Ely is snowmobile and ATV friendly, offering off-street truck and trailer parking in our overflow parking lot located across the street next to the Holiday Gas Station. We can accommodate most off-highway vehicles, individual snowmobiles, open and enclosed snowmobile trailers, ATVs, other off-road vehicles, and ATV trailers.

We want to remind our guests of the Minnesota Snowmobile Regulations that all snowmobiles require registration, either from Minnesota or the snowmobiler’s home state. Additionally, non-residents operating an all-terrain vehicle (ATV), off-highway motorcycle (OHM) or off-road vehicle (ORV) on state or grant-in-aid trails, must purchase a Non-Resident Trail Pass

Sections 8.08 and 8.09 of the City of Ely Code limits where and how ATVs and snowmobiles may be ridden with the city limits. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us!
