I can't say enough about how friendly and accommodating the staff at this hotel is. Every single employee we encountered took time out of their day to say hello. The hotel also had so many little touches that made the stay enjoyable. From free popcorn, to little treats left on the bed, free dink tickets, a free gift in the gift shop, this hotel just knows how to make you fell welcome. The room itself was very clean and perfectly comfortable and the food and the service in the hotel restaurant and bar exceeded out expectations. When passing through Ely, the Prospector Hotel will be the place we will stay every time.

We liked the pet wing and the comfortable beds. Friendly staff. Quiet. Our fajita salads we ordered from the restaurant were not good. They consisted of lettuce, carrots, cucumbers and tough chunks of chicken (nothing even resembling fajitas). The complimentary beer was good and cold though. Easy check in and out.

The property is older and gets a decent amount of use, but it appears well managed and maintained. It is clean and the staff is friendly. When in Ely, it’s hard to imagine a more fair deal.

Pleasantly surprised. We travel with a service dog and the room was clean, large, and included nice touches for the dog that included a dog bowl, treats, dog bed, and a poop bag. There was no carpet (had 2 rugs) which we loved. And we loved the decor. The front desk staff were friendly. Would stay again.
