For an older hotel...It was very clean and well taken care of. Our friends had a small dog, so it was nice that they are dog friendly. I loved the casino and gift shop.
We've stayed at the Prospector at least a dozen times! We travel with our dog, and we love how pet friendly they are. It's also great they have a restaurant on site. We're tired after driving all day, and it's nice we can get food right there. The rooms are spacious, check-in is easy, and we highly recommend staying there.
Room was super comfy. Hot shower with lots of pressure. The bar was in transition, but still covered by a great bartender. The reception area has very cool items on display. Nice people!
I love this place and use it as a hopping point between Boise and Las Vegas. The staff are wonderful and you just feel a happy feeling when you are there. Shout out to Carrie. Thank you for making our stay even better.
Staff were friendly and helpful. The room is well equipped - free water bottle , toothbrush and toiletries., refrigerator. Microwave, the hot water is hot and the AC works great. The bed was very comfortable.
Additionally. Breakfast opens early and us fantastic
If you’re traveling with a dog, you have to stop at the Prospector in Ely. It’s the dog friendliest place. We’ve ever stayed. The staff were wonderful. The places are very clean recommended highly
