Prospector Motor Lodge

It was clean and very easy to find good value for your money

When I went to find an electrical outlet I discovered dirty, stained, paper towels between the box springs and mattress. There was hair all over in the shower. The entire room was dusty. The mirrors were smeared. They didn't clean or service the room at all in the 3 nights we stayed. Once they gave us towels but didn't touch anything else. They are conveniently closed until 3 pm each day when the surrounding recreation area has little or no service to even be able to call and complain. Obviously, the high reviews of this motel are not accurate or even real. We only stayed since it seemed to hard to find another place and we didn't spend much time there.

The quiet hotel is reminiscent of a 1950s motor lodge. Big room with comfortable beds and extra blankets. A bit dated bathroom. Very clean and tidy with cute decorations that indicate attention to detail. Microwave, small fridge, and drip coffee pot were modern add ons. We spent a night there and were pleased with the experience. I would definitely stay there again.

Checked in and found there was a window with lock broken. Notified on site staff who came to look. No way to fix unless window replaced. Asked for another room. None available. Asked for reduced rate. Owner contacted and refused! On site staff finally brought a stick to put in place so it wouldn’t open from outside. Staff great. Owner not nice. Place run down. Would not have stayed here except only thing available to book. Will not be back.

The staff were welcoming and helped with information about the area. Although the property was older the room was clean and well maintained. Had everything we needed including real cups for our tea and coffee. Most importantly they were so accommodating when we realized a phone had been left behind. After touching base with them they put it in the mail to us the same day.

The property is very old, but it was fine. Although our car was parked right outside our room, and it was locked with the alarm set, someone siphoned 1/2 tank of gas out of our car. For that reason, we won’t stay at this motel again.

I generally stay here twice a year when traveling to Arizona. The man in the office is always super nice. Everything was good in the room for an older property. It could use a few little things like stoppers to fill the bathtub. The interesting thing about this trip was the very large black bug. I didn't want to bother the front desk since I had already arrived after hours, so I put and water cup over it and left it for them to handle in the morning.

The air conditioner is at the back of the room, so it struggled to get air to the front. It wasn't extremely hot outside, but still took most of the night to get the sleeping area cooled down. The toilet was low and small, and the shower head is very low also. Tall people will have a struggle washing their hair. Most everything else was good!

Our stay was great! It was quite unexpected from the outward appearance, but the rooms were perfectly clean and actually pretty large for a motel room. The price was perfect and location was very close to the main road of town so you could just walk to all of the little shops they had on Main Street. I would definitely recommend this place and would gladly stay again!
