Room was clean but looking a little tired, needs some updating. Front desk gentleman wasn’t too accommodating or pleasant. Had to pay extra to get into my room at 2pm as check in is 3pm, despite the room being ready for occupancy. Restaurant food seems to have deteriorated . Couldn’t get a cup of tea… only coffee pods available in room. Thinking that the establishment needs a little push to improve.

Rooms are spacious and clean Beds are comfortable. Decor is dated with mining equipment kitsch, but the hotel’s name is Prospector, so to be expected. Rooms are non smoking which is good since there is enough smoke to go around in the casino. Staff is very friendly. Hotel is very pet friendly. Gym is adequately outfitted. Indoor Pool was closed when I was there. I would recommend this hotel.

We loved our short one night stay here in Ely, Nevada. Great staff, check in was fast and easy, room was clean with comfy beds, pillows and hot water with great pressure for the shower. Restaurant was good and all staff were friendly and helpful. The hot tub and pool were great for our relaxing evening and gave the 4 year old some play time after a long day in the car.

From beginning to end, we had a fantastic stay and experience!! We received complimentary drinks to grab at the lounge, great welcoming service from all employees, and great food at their restaurant. The room, itself, was clean and comfortable. It had everything we would need. We are so happy with our stay that we are planning a couple future trips around the area now JUST so we can stay at this establishment again! Super pet friendly and honestly, family friendly, too. My four year old enjoyed the pool very much. He said it was so colorful and fun!! Can’t wait to come back.

I stayed in a pet-friendly room, and as soon as I walked in, I wanted to leave immediately because of the strong smell. It was quite unpleasant and very difficult to tolerate. I have stayed in other hotels’ pet rooms before, but none of them had this level of odor. In addition, the room felt quite old and worn, which added to the overall discomfort. I would not choose to stay here again. The parking lot was also very full, and I noticed that some cars from the neighboring hotel appeared to be parked in this lot as well.
