Room was clean and tidy. I had to go a block down the street to pick up the key which was taped to the outside door. A little confusing but got it figured out. No chair in the room. Tv remote didn't work. A smoke alarm in another room kept beeping all night due to low battery, fortunately I had ear plugs. All in all, I got a good nights rest, a shower and the in-room coffee.
Great in town option with all the basic amenities you would need. Special call out to the staff who helped me by mailing me my toiletries bag back to me that I left behind.
Needs last minute accommodation I was a bit apprehensive but the room was very clean no bed bugs and the staff was great

Family friendly pleasant stay
Although July is still a little warm there was no air conditioning. It wasn’t bad. Very clean and update d some. Updated bathroom. Nice little place to stay and while you’re there, check out handlebars and the woodfired pizza place. They were amazing.
Prospector Motel is rather old, but this is not necessarily negative. First of all, it is affordable while hardly anything else is in Silverton. The rooms are spacious (all of them have 2 Queen size beds), well lit and equipped with fridge and microwave. Very clean environment. Very comfortable bed. I really enjoyed my stay.

Check in was quick and easy! Front desk was friendly, beds were more comfortable than previous places we have stayed at. Some of our towels had what looked like make up stains on them which was disappointing. Overall, not bad for the price though and you can’t beat the views surrounding you!
Always clean and always easy to work with because we typically come in late to register.

It looked like a rat hole at first and my wife she would pay for another hotel, just anything else please. I said, let’s not judge a book by its cover, at least men are around doing improvements.
Inside, the room was nice, clean and comfortable. As good as any mid priced room anywhere. Stay was fine, slept well.

Property outside was very dumpy we were worried inside was going to be bad but we were pleasantly surprised. Very clean! Gals were pleasant checking us in at the gas station down the street and the gentleman offered us coffee no charge at the gas station when we checked out. Overpriced for amenities since there were none. Very remote area so I suppose I shouldn’t complain.
This was a very last minute booking for me and I had to find a place that was pet friendly. I found the Prospector and hit "book" the day before I was to arrive. There weren't many options in Silverton, in fact this is the only one I could find on such short notice. When I actually saw the property I wasn't super impressed and wondered what it was gonna be like inside. I gotta tell you like my momma did "don't judge a book by its cover". When I opened the door to my room I was shocked.....spotless. It was so super clean and I couldn't have been more pleased. Who would have thought that I would have liked this place so much. I was only there for a night but if you are looking for a room thats clean and in town, this would be a great place to start. Thanks Ya'll
