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. More

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. More

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

I couldn't have asked for anything more. The mountains were gorgous; the price was more than reasonable; accommodations were clean; rooms were quiet and Andy, the owner, remains as friendly and as gracious as he has been during my previous stays. I On this particular trip I had business in Durango but stayed at the Prospector and drove into Durango... More

Stayed at the Prospector on our niece's recommendation for a family reunion over the 4th of July. Have to agree with others that Andy, the owner is a genuine host; he made our stay even more enjoyable. Our rooms while not luxurious were clean and comfortable and he even refilled the coffee maker with fresh ground coffee each day!! We... More

The host/owner, Andy, is great/easy to deal with. He is a big part of why we enjoyed our weekend in Silverton as much as we did (great recommendations on "to do" & dining). He's casual. efficient and accommodating. His motel is old. I'd call it "Route 66" style. For being old; it's the cleanest old I've experienced. The chairs, desk,... More

What a town! Andy at the Prospector was so kind and helpful. His rooms are clean and comfortable. Nothing fancy but they are affordable. 25 of us stayed at the Prospector July 5 and 6 2008 and enjoyed ourselves. We will be back. More
