First off, I would like to tell everyone about the good aspects of the Prospector Motel. The hotel was clean, super clean, the clerk that checked us in was very nice, the beds were the most comfortable I have slept in. My husband and I were so excited to have a clean comfortable room to sleep in after driving from Utah where we had been tent camping for a few days. Now onto the rest of the review. When we arrived at the hotel, there was a gentleman sitting out in the parking lot that said that we had to read the note on the door, but he was pretty sure that we had to go to the gas station to check in. Um Ok. So we go to the gas station, we talk to a the employees there and check in. For some reason we got charged another $20 at check in, but were never told why, just strangely charged it. We went back to the room to hang out. All sounds good, right?? We got into the room and realized that the main part of our room was blisteringly hot, about 78 degrees according to the thermostat in the room. We made sure the heat was turned off (it was) and we opened the windows in the bathroom and the main room because there is no air conditioning in the rooms. Ok, well that is fine, the check in instructions say that there is always a breeze and to open the windows and enjoy the fresh Colorado air. This was fantastic Until about 7:00 pm when the apparent residents of the motel returned home and proceeded to cook their dinner on the BBQs outside our room. In addition to this they yelled and screamed at their kids, each other and smoked (weed and cigarettes) right outside our room. This lovely mixing of smells enhanced the experience of staying at the Prospector Motel until about 11:00 pm. We shut our windows around 9:00 to try to limit the noise and smell wafting into the room. Around 4:00 I woke up drowning in a pool of my own sweat since the room had heated back up to over 78 degrees, and in my sleepless stupor I realized it was actually quiet outside. I immediately opened the window hoping for a breath of fresh air ahhhh relief!! This lasted until around 4:20 AM when I heard one of our neighbors shuffling and hacking outside our room, right before lighting up a cigarette Son of a. Ok. Well, closing that window back up. My husband and I woke up at 6 and proceeded to leave the hotel immediately. Like I said earlier, the hotel is clean, the beds are super comfortable, if you like sleeping on the surface of the sun, or you want to smell someones second hand cigarette and marijuana smoke this is the establishment for you. Personally, I will not stay there again. Fun fact, three of the Motels in Silverton are owned by the same person, so I am not sure if you would get a different experience at any of the lodging establishments there.

Silvertone Colorado A wonderful, charming place, a town at 9250 feet of altitude, with its high snow-capped mountains, a historic place, I enjoyed it very much, I hope to return soon!!

Not much to look at from the outside but inside our large room it looked, smelled and felt clean. Also they have all been newly renovated with a fridge and microwave included. There was an unit in the room, not sure if for a/c or heat but we slept with the windows open so didn't need it. Pleasant stay for passing through.
