What guests say
8.6 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 540 guest reviews
The Prospector Hotel earns strong, largely enthusiastic reviews for its clean and comfortable rooms, genuinely friendly staff, appealing Western atmosphere, and standout on-site Mexican restaurant — with many guests returning year after year. The most consistent drawbacks are the absence of an elevator (a real inconvenience for guests with heavy luggage or mobility needs) and casino cigarette smoke that can drift into lower-floor rooms and corridors. Overall sentiment is warmly positive, with most guests rating the experience excellent value for a remote Nevada stop.
