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.

Quirky western themed, great value & would stay here again. My only negative would be that there was some garbage from a previous guest under the edge of one bed.

Comfort in Paradise!
I checked in pretty late -- the staff made me feel welcomed immediately and comfortable as a solo traveler. Loved the art in the lobby and the moveable table on wheels in my room. Shower was great. Clean. I don't think they have an elevator but I was able to park near the stairwell door. Bed was comfortable and the pillows too! Plus-- Hallmark channel! Lol
