Although associated with a casino, we frequently stay at The Prospector because of its affordable rates and high standards of cleanliness and service. We have no issues with this hotel, though we would advise finding other dining options in Ely (though admittedly limited) because the in-house, privately operated Mexican restaurant in The Prospector Hotel is less than responsive to issues that may arise. We experienced it on a night when it was out of rice (how about that - a Mexican restaurant without rice....). Instead of hopping down to the local grocer, they simply served their dishes without rice (just beans!) with no price adjustment. Upon leaving, we attempted to pay with a credit card only to learn that they charge a service fee. Yes, there IS a sign displayed to inform patrons, however it's situated so as to be nearly invisible when walking in to the restaurant. Then, they spring it on you when you attempt to card your charges. We see that as deceptive, if not outright opportunistic. We wish to add that this is NOT the hotel's fault.

Great staff and overall pretty clean, with eclectic decor. They do their best but still the smell of smoke was almost everywhere. Food was served promptly but just average in character. Nice pool, hot tub without jets but plenty of bubbles. Miss breakfast. Overall 3.75/5 for us.

There is no elevator and quite a few stairs. The whole place smells like cigarette smoke. The pool area is dangerous. They painted over the concrete by the pool. I fell and broke my sacrum and I watched many others fall as well. The parking lot has many low places and you have to wade through deep puddle to get inside. Room was decently clean but the trial size toiletries provided had obviously been used before and levels were low and crusting around edges. Walls are thin and you can hear more than you probably want/need to.
