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.

Disappointing
Breakfast was included, but only included two types of dry cereal, coffee, two types of juice and two types of bars. No fresh fruit or anything hot, like eggs. Our room was near the street and traffic woke us up all night long. I would not recommend this hotel
