OMG. Stay here if you can. Only one small challenge - thin walls and door gaps make it a bit noisy, but they supply ear plugs. Great people, great place 😁

Room was clean but looking a little tired, needs some updating. Front desk gentleman wasn’t too accommodating or pleasant. Had to pay extra to get into my room at 2pm as check in is 3pm, despite the room being ready for occupancy. Restaurant food seems to have deteriorated . Couldn’t get a cup of tea… only coffee pods available in room. Thinking that the establishment needs a little push to improve.

Rooms are spacious and clean Beds are comfortable. Decor is dated with mining equipment kitsch, but the hotel’s name is Prospector, so to be expected. Rooms are non smoking which is good since there is enough smoke to go around in the casino. Staff is very friendly. Hotel is very pet friendly. Gym is adequately outfitted. Indoor Pool was closed when I was there. I would recommend this hotel.
