Junction Inn Suites & Conference Center

What guests think

Across recent reviews, Junction Inn Suites & Conference Center is repeatedly praised for very clean, comfortable rooms and a quiet setting near Ely, with reasonable value, while breakfast is typically basic and area dining options are limited.

Service is often described as friendly and helpful, though a few reviewers noted issues like an overbooking call, a wrong room type on arrival, or confusing temporary credit card holds. Amenities feedback is sparse, but comments point to a generally simple, no-frills setup. A good fit if you want a low-key base without many extras.

Hotel is really nice. Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable and pillows are super soft. The parking lot is plenty big. We had no problem parking our boat and truck. Lots of room for our dog to run around out back.

The hotel was clean and the rooms were fairly nice. Nice and quiet while we were there. We stayed 5 nights. Staff was friendly, but there was no daily maid service provided so had to request clean towels and trash bags, but that wasn't too bad. Breakfast was ok if you only want a quick bite (mini muffin, yogurt, breakfast sandwich that you have to microwave, oatmeal or cereal, but not a lot of room to sit and eat in lobby). Vending machines (soft drinks and snacks) were nearly empty the whole time we were there. Otherwise, it was not bad at all - it met our needs. No extra amenities.

The room was clean and bed was comfortable, however the TV did not work. IA staff member came to my room and got it working but after about four hours it stopped working and I could not use it during the rest of my stay. The breakfast bar was very basic with cold cereal and microwaveable sausage biscuits, no fresh fruit.

Rode up from Indiana to see the Split Rock Lighthouse and need a room to stay the night but everything was sold out around Two Harbors but I found this hotel and decided to book it. Great little hotel. Clean, comfortable, and quiet. Got some much needed rest after riding over 1,000 miles on a motorcycle. A+

The front desk clerk, Madison, was very helpful with tips on where to go for fall colors and hikes. Madison was like a breath of fresh air after driving almost 400 miles. The other staff was also friendly. The room was clean and much quieter than your typical motel. I had 2 nights of good sleep. Some have complained about the continental breakfast. This motel isn't like a high priced chain hotel that charges more than enough to pay for a bit more. This is a reasonably priced motel that provides an adequate breakfast to start your day. In summary I consider this motel well worth what they charge and wouldn't hesitate staying there again when back up there.

The hotel was fine the only thing I didn’t like was they charge your credit card twice once when you check in and then again when you check out, one of them sits in pending for 3 to 5 business days which holds your money, After complaining to the manager I was told they got rid of that credit company. I was told they had many complaints.

Booked a room only for the hotel to call when we were almost in the town and say they were overbooked. I've never seen a single hotel call and say they were overbooked until now. We stayed in tower for nearly half the price so that made it a little better to have to drive back and forth.

I was misinformed about the price. I boooked on line, double queen with 2 adults. Brought 1 nephew extra, and was charged $20 extra per day. When I checked in, they said I wouldn't be charged extra. I think it's ridiculous to be charged extra for a double queen room which should allow 4 people at the price.
