Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Was a little hesitant as I parked as exterior looks tired but room was comfortable and clean. Needed a microwave and the front desk attendant brought one over from another room willingly. Limited continental breakfast with only cold cereal and packaged pastries and coffee pretty weak. Beds were fine and fridge was large and good working condition.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This is the second time we’ve stayed here! While the property is a little old they’ve done a good job of keeping it up. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. It’s very centrally located easy in and out. We travel by motorcycle and like to park right outside our room. We will stay here again if we’re ever in Ely
Great layout of the room and while an older building it has been updated in the room. Great effort by staff to have info on TV channels and business map of Ely.
We loved it here! Travelling with our teens - coming here felt like going on a sleepover at Grandma's house - in all the right ways. Cozy nostalgia - from the long carpet to the fake plant on a shelf, to the shiny bedspreads - it was quaint & comfortable and felt familiar and welcoming. Room was very spacious (we had the 3-queen room) and the shower was nice, beds were comfortable. Quiet area. Breakfast left much to be desired, but we made do. Would stay here again.

Disliked: Amenities
Office not open. Key underneath door mat with another customer key. TV does not work. Would not recommend Bristlecome motel and would never stay again, unless of course you like having someone else with keys to your room and a TV that doesn’t work.
