Reviews said it was quiet but it’s on a main road & so there was traffic noise all night. Shower had mildew on tile. Chip in toilet. Sink did not drain. The (included) breakfast was cereal (no milk), packaged breakfast bars. Disappointing.

Bring your own bath soap
Our room was next to a major highway and traffic could be heard all night long. The room was fairly clean and comfortable. Walking distance to dining and shopping. Free parking. Continental breakfast offered. Bring your own bath soap.

First room we had was not great but we got moved to a wonderful room that appeared newly renovated. Very charming, and comfortable. Breakfast was packaged sweet buns so unimpressed. And the laundry used very strong scented soap so being sensitive to scents we both had headaches. That was my only complaint and not everyone realizes how much Gain and Fleecy bother others. If not for the laundry soap I would definitely stay again.

It's a waste of your money to stay here.
The heaters made a buzzing noise all night. I could not sleep because of it. I thought if I turned on the bathroom fan it would drown the buzzing sound out from the heater. The bathroom fan sounded like a diesel truck. So that did not help. I did not brother the front desk cause they could not change out the heater or the bathroom fan. This hotel needs to be remodeled. Do not stay there.

Nice hotel
We wanted an inexpensive hotel that is clean and functional and Bristlecone did the job. It's nothing fancy, but it was clean, in good condition, and comfortable. Breakfast is pretty meager, some cereal and packaged muffins, etc. Everything in the room worked well, bed was comfortable, and the heater worked well. I would stay here again.

It's Ely at night on a weekday. Not much going on. Bristlecone is the best place in Ely in my opinion. Mexican restaurant next door is good and rooms don't stink of cigarettes or pot like the other hotels.

I always stay here when traveling to/from family in Elko. If they don't have a vacancy, I push on to Elko/Vegas. My only regret this go was that I arrived late and was put in the room closest to the highway so I had some noise but managed to sleep anyway.
