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.

Good stay
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.

Needs Some Work
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.

This is an older property that is attentively maintained by the current owner on a tight budget. It is very affordable and was perfect for our quick overnight on the road. It is clean, quiet, safe and comfortable. We will be back!

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.
