It was an inexpensive room for a one night stay near Escalante. It was convenient to hiking. It would be great if there could be more pillows and more blankets to make this stay more comfortable.

The room was clean, slightly dated. Towels and bed linens adequate but low quality. The worst part of our stay was the rock hard beds. Terrible night’s sleep.

If you’re just looking for a place to get a good night’s rest, this is a solid option for a one night stay. I appreciated the contactless check-in, which made arrival quick and easy.

Great place to stay in town. Plentiful parking and so easy to walk to the handful of great places to dine and visit. Room was nicely updated and perfectly clean. Spacious bathroom, plenty of clean, white towels and we enjoyed our complimentary coffee outside in the cool desert morning. I would absolutely stay again.

Overall The Prospector was Good+. Close to great eating and shopping places. Convenient for our trips to Bryce Canyon. Quiet. Nice laundry facility. The beds were somewhat hard and were double beds. My wife and I prefer Queen sized beds and a little softer. This is just a personal preference. Others may find the beds more than adequate. The electrical outlet offerings for phones and laptops were not readily convenient. Lighting (floor lamps, bedside lamps were dim). Upgrading to reading style lamps for the bed would be a good upgrade.

Clean room, new furniture and carpet, room looks very good. Spacious room anbd bathroom with plenty of towels and toiletries. They have pop corn to do in the microwave. There is no staff present at the hotel, not even in front desk, where there is a phone and you must call to get a room code that you will enter in a code keyboard in your room door, to be able to access your room. Guests must call for anything they might need. We found some insects in the room. There is way too much space below the room access door which is open to the parking spaces. We saw snakes right out the bedroom door sunbathing in the parking space. Room walls flood like a waterfall when it rains and water also enters the room underneath the door.

Very clean and spacious, the TV was much larger than it appears in pictures online, it was a Roku device that had live TV or you could sign into your streaming services (and it automatically signs you out when you leave), the bathroom was clean and spacious, complementary coffee and microwave popcorn was provided, parking was easy, no need to worry about keeping track of your room key because every door opens with a 4 digit code, housekeeping was super friendly, pretty town

This is an older motel. It seems to me that they are remodeling it. Our room just had the basics, which is not a complaint. It totally served its purpose-we hiked all day, ate dinner, and just slept there. Beds were comfy. Towels and linens were clean. Room was clean. No complaints. Just know you are getting an older, no frills, but fully functioning, hotel. Location was within walking distance of several restaurants and a grocery store. Didn't actually see any staff during our visit.

An efficient, practical motel. Everything clean and operational. It's nice to be able to park your car right outside your front door! Areas for improvement: There's a 'virtual' reception. The onsite cleaning/management staff were very helpful and accommodating, but whoever was answering the phone to deal with reservations let the team down. Single heavy curtains. It'd be nice if there were some light shade curtains that let you see out without letting passers-by see in. The lights outside the front doors of the rooms were very bright and white. Great for security. Not so great for ambiance.

This stay was only one night as we made our way across Route 12 towards Green River. This hotel was approximately halfway between the places we wanted to visit. The room was very clean, with a nice bathroom and shower. What I missed about this stay was the self check in. We arrived just prior to 3:00 to check in. When I went into the lobby, I picked up the phone to call and someone said check in was 3:00. It was ten minutes to 3:00. Maybe if I had realized it was self check in, it would have been smoother. I realize people have other responsibilities, but why couldn’t someone have been available? When we came back a little after three, someone was there. This might be nitpicking, but we came to experience Utah and I booked on Expedia and I expected someone to be there after traveling for 6-7 hours. On a positive note, we thought having microwave popcorn in the room and real glass coffee cups was great.
