This is probably the cheapest place to stay in Silverton -- I think I paid $50+tax during peak aspen season. And while the accommodations are bare-bones, there's nothing wrong with the place. The bed is a little old, the TV was small and reception was spotty and the bathroom was what I'd call "old school", but the property is well... More

I was here with my boyfriend in June 2012 and we were satisfied. Room wasn't the newest but clean and comfortable, air conditioning worked. Owner was very friendly and helped with everything. We can recommend it.

The pros: the price was much less than the competition, the rooms were clean, the WiFi was excellent, good location (but since Silverton is small, there are not too many bad locations), & the owner is very nice & helpful. The cons: the bed visibly sagged & was not very comfortable, no toiletries except for soap, no clock in room... More

This is a great place to stay. The price may be budget but the heart of the guy that runs it, Andy is as wide as the Grand Canyon. He looks after you, helps you to find a place to eat and offers you great service. And not in a salesman like way but as a genuine guy. Better than... More

Over from the UK on a freestyle motoring vacation. The Prospector is a no frills very basic motel in the delightly dusty old town of Silverton Colorado. The rooms are clean, not much incoming light so appear a little dull. The bathroom was clean, there is heat and cooling, TV. The water was hot when needed. Andy the propietor is... More

This was our second stay with Andy at the Prospector Motel in beautiful Silverton, Co. Our king room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Andy, the owner, was as affable as every, providing helpful information on places to go, things to see and roads to travel. The Prospector is not all shiny new but well-maintained with obvious loving care.

Don't let the outside fool you. We would stay here again without hesitation. We arrived without a reservation, but the owner, from the midwest was most accomodating to us. Our large room was very clean and quite. There is no pool, but we were there to see the town.

This is a no frills motel that is inexpensive and great for an overnight stay. The motel was clean and we experienced no issues during our stay. Andy was not there when we arrived but had left a note about where our room was and left the keys in the room. He puts fresh designer coffee in the coffee makers... More
