Liked: Staff & service
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.

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!

Charming, clean, newly renovated Silverton motel

This motel is nicely renovated, with a few changes still needed, but definitely going in the right direction! Need to have recycling cans somewhere on the property, that's important.

Great place to stay in Silverton, clean and quiet. Only complaint is that the mattress is memory foam and it is not very comfortable.

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.

All rooms are ground level, walk in showers make it easier for older or mobility challenged individuals. Only complaint is room was too small for 2 full-sized beds . Rooms have been renovated and clean.

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.

Stayed for 2 nights and at most motels when staying more than 1 night they come clean the room, make the beds, bring clean towels the next day but not here and we paid 2x as much as we did with the previous owner, and he took way better care of us! Kind of disappointing!

Didn't know that breakfast was included. Found out when we checked in. Took awhile to figure out the 2 remote controls for the tv. Phone call to the phone # provided, left a message & they never called back. We finally figured it out. Room was a nice surprise. Very clean and fresh.

Good location but no chairs or table in room. No privacy as only window on public sidewalk on the main street. Paper thin walls. Heard neighbor’s TV all night long. Housekeeping did very good job. Stayed three nights. Rates too high for what you get. Would not recommend.

It was a roof over our heads.....

Booked our trip last minute so not like I can really complain, however I normally wouldn't pay such a high price for a bargain basement motel. There isn't even an office on site, instead you have to check in to another hotel down the road. This place hands down had the most uncomfortable beds that we've ever slept on, and walls are paper thin so doesn't matter if its traffic out front or neighbors next door you are going to hear it all night long.

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

How desperate are you for a room?

There is no air conditioning and it is mid-August with temperatures in the 80's. Being from the deep south, we are accustomed to heat, but we also have a contraption called an air conditioner. We had to open the windows to try and stay comfortable. However the garbage can sitting in front of our room filled the room with sour garbage odor. Over priced, and would be considered a "cheap motel" anywhere else in America. This room was a luxury price for much less than Motel 6 quality! In hindsight, sleeping in our car would have been preferable. Travellers beware!

They won’t get another penny of my money!

My worst experience ever. There is no onsite office. You just drive a mile down the road to check in, or to talk to anyone if you have an issue. I was here for work, and their wifi was not working I called several times. They said they were going to come down and reset it, but that never happened. Myself and my wife called several times, left several messages and no one ever called us back The next morning I called hotels.com, and they were zero help. As I was loading up to leave a young lady showed up with the same wifi code, that did not work from the day before.. I ended up having to call my back to get my $933.00 back. Hotels .com offered nothing I lost 2 days pay to inconsiderate, disrespectful people with no integrity what so ever. Do yourself a favor and do not waste your time and money staying here.
