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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
