Room was ok for a night rest stop. Check-in staff was friendly and professional. Ladies running the morning breakfast were rude and lazy.
I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the room. The facility is obviously older but is in remarkable condition and you can see that the roof was just replaced. The room was very clean and nice. My only issue was the bed that was somewhere between plywood and concrete hard, but managed to get a decent night's sleep.

Sufficient for one quick night stay. It’s a basic older place but met our needs. Breakfast was sufficient.

Good value for money
Stayed for 3 nights. Big room and reasonably comfortable. Bathroom was small and could be a bit cleaner. Friendly staff. The motel is just out of town but we did not mind. Overall good value for money
Great staff. A perfect place to spend a night after seeing the spectacular spots nearby.

It would have been softer to sleep on the floor. Beware of the low hanging rack. My husband almost took an eye out. No plug for the tub and the coffee maker was a joke. It was really hot when we first checked in, but the AC did work well once it was turned on. Not bad for a last resort place to sleep, but definitely not comfortable and not worth the money.
The owners father insisted that I pay in full up front even though Expedia had my card details. Breakfast was meant to be included but the office remained locked up the following morning. The following day my credit card was processed for the nights stay along with bank fees. I have called Expedia twice and 2 weeks later no refund. I will NEVER use Expedia again.
Room was spacious. Mini-fridge was definitely MINI. Air conditioner in a strange location and VERY loud. Fortunately it kept the room cool. Parking directly in front of room was convenient. For the price would recommend.
Very Vintage. Owner and Family very nice and accommodating. Room was very clean and equipped with mini fridge, microwave, and coffee pot with glass diner coffee cups. Hair dryer and bath essentials provided. There is a sitting area under neat large shade trees to enjoy the wonderful weather and scenery. If you like staying in a home type atmosphere and non-chain hotels/motels I recommend the Prospector Motor Lodge. Oh if you are looking for a swimming pool you will not find one at this property. My rating is a 5.

Limited staff for infotmation. Very clean. Great for quick overnight. Great price
Older property; large room with sofa & coffee table; only one bedside table-inconvenient; bathroom window in need of repair. Tolerable place for one night.
Good cafe up the street for breakfast called Yak's.
We had not checked out of our room and had left some personal items with my purse and wallet in the room. My husband put a sign on the door saying service later. And when I came back to the room they were in the room cleaning it and handed me my purse and other items. I told them they weren't supposed to be in my room yet but they didn't seem to understand English. I went to complain at the front desk and she said someone had checked me out but both my husband and I still had our room keys and had not checked out. She didn't seem to really care about the problem but it made me feel very violated that they had my purse my wallet with all my credit cards and were in my room when we thought it was Secure.
I loved the room. It was wood panelled and had vintage furniture and fittings which I really loved. It was comfortable and quiet, and the staff were so lovely. We would definitely stay again
This is a retro style motor lodge with pine paneling and beams. I love it! It's very comfortable and the towels smell amazing. I would definitely stay here again.
