It’s a casino in Ely, NV so we didn’t expect much. Rooms are smallish. Beds are ok comfortable. There’s no elevator so you have to cart all your luggage up a flights stairs. Family of 4 so that wasn’t fun. On sight restaurant called Margaritas had some of the worst Mexican food I’ve ever had. The hotel staff was very nice and responsive. Parking was easy and convenient. I probably won’t stay here again.

Room was very clean and well decorated -- very inviting. The halls were filled with quality decorations that invited looking. The lobby and outside also had many, many decorations done very well and invited, again, slow down and enjoy. The restaurant had very good portions and food and reasonable prices. Very clean casino.

Fun hotel

The Prospector Hotel and Casino is a funky little hotel with fun decor. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The one thing I will point out is there is no elevator so we had to lug our heavy suitcases up two flights of stairs, so if you have any mobility issues ask for a main floor room. They give you a coupon for a free cocktail or beer at the hotel bar when you check in which was nice. The restaurant had great food and good service. The casino only had slot machines and video poker but we aren’t gamblers so didn’t care about that. All in all we had a good stay and I would recommend the hotel especially for the price.

Had to stop here and stay a night unfortunately the person I was headed home with was being a dick head so I got out of the car and threw my water at him because I refused to be spoken too like I’m some kind of garbage bag of a person. So I found this lovely hotel in my stroll thru this lovely town.

I’ve stayed in Ely before but not at this property. I am very impressed. I was right by the pool and the entrance to the casino floor and I didn’t hear anything. No issues with noise. The pool is small but great and the hot tub was very welcome after 8 hrs of driving that day. The bed was very comfortable, room was clean and well appointed and spacious. The only downside is if you are on the 2nd floor there is no elevator to help with luggage. All staff was very nice and courteous. I will definitely stay here again.
