“Clean and affordable”

The Prospector is a wonderful motel that is clean and affordable. We stayed there in the summer of 2006, the fall of 2006 and the summer of 2007. We have always been pleased with our accommodations. The owner of the motel, Andy Hanahan, is a gracious host, always willing to a give a recommendation for dinner, share stories of the area, or give an occassional "ride" to a hiker to a trailhead. We relax at the motel after our days jeeping and hiking the many trails in the area. We understand he has recently upgraded his rooms to accommodate the skiers that visit Silverton Mountain in the winter. We are sure the Prospector will be as popular to the winter crowd as it is to the summer explorers of Silverton. We love it there!

“A great little motel !”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2006

We were looking for a typical small "road trip" motel in June 2006. The Prospector lives up to that description. Rooms are clean, roomy and comfortable. As far as I know it is the only single story motel in the main city area. Used as a staging place for exploring the mountains in the area. Second generation owner, Andy, takes personal attention to detail. Let him know exactly when you will be arriving so he can have the room and key ready for you, otherwise he's likely to be out and about in Silverton. Silverton is now a very small and well preserved 19th century mining town. Restaurants to recommend are the Brown Bear Cafe and Handlebars.

Stayed June 2006
