Top Ely Hotel Reviews

Caribou Highlands Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The property overall was good for 6 people. Some of the windows didn’t have curtains to block out light in the early morning. We had access to free fire wood and kitchen had all items we needed for cooking."

Poplar River Condos

8/10 Good

"We thought the room was great, clean and a beautiful view of Lake Superior. The property was beautiful with a great walking trail all the way around it. Only thing I would say is it would have been great to have blackout curtains in the room, it gets light out around 4am. But all in all it’s a great place to stay and great pricing for the 3 nights we were there and all the free amenities and accommodation are also a great perk!"
