Prospectors Inn

A great place to stay Very roomy, very clean, most importantly a comfortable bed. Especially before a 12 hour driving day.

We booked a large room and got a small room. Paid $50 more for the large room. Room was full of stains on couch and floor. Bathroom door didn’t look like it had ever been clean. Guy at hotel desk said manager would call me in a couple of days to deal with the over charge. Never heard from them.

While not fancy, room was spacious, quiet and comfortable. An economical option if staying for an extended period and a good set up for preparing your own meals.

Your standard questions really don't apply, here, for the Prospector Inn was not a typical roadside inn. From the outside, the place appeared run-down, as if closed for business: peeling paint, broken pavement, weeds, gravel parking area, poor signage. The entrance, as such, led only to a series of corridors, clean and painted brightly white, several signs pointing, past a cold drink machine, to the closed "Office" door. I rang the bell and was pleasantly greeted by the owner (?), who checked me in and showed me to my room, which was clean, but spare, with up-to-date kitchen appliances. Stains on the sofa. No air conditioning (on a very hot, sultry August day), but a fan that helped bring cooler evening air inside. Modern, clean (but small) bathroom. Fast wifi, once I figured out how to connect. (Several "Prospector" sites listed and I seemed to have to search at random to hit the right one!) Perhaps better suited for someone needing a longer-term stay with kitchen than for a room for only a night or two. No public amenities other than that soda machine along one corridor. No "public" spaces inside, just the rooms along those bright, white corridors!

The room was not well prepared compared to most sites for the cost. No air conditioning, no coffee, ants in the bathroom, no dish washing stuff except soap, no towels in the bathroom or kitchen, reception was some employees room. Places needs to up their game.

This is obviously a repurposed building that's being turned into an Inn. Took a bit of a chance and were pleased. Needs some finishing touches for sure but good price, large rooms (apartment like), spacious kitchenette, bathroom, sitting area. Very clean. Would certainly consider this on a return visit. Finish the renos, you've got a gem here!
