What Our Guests Say

Our room had been newly renovated. Walk-in shower, comfortable beds, beautiful view. Walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. We were very pleased. Wifi was really fast. Price was great too!

Karen Batey

Rooms were lovely and warm (it was freezing outside). It looked like the rooms had been recently renovated and were immaculately clean.

Helyn Gulley

We only planned on staying in Silverton one night but we ended up staying three nights at this motel. We felt very comfortable here. The room was clean and very quiet. The owner was very friendly and helpful, made you feel at home.

Jeffery N

Andy and the Prospector Motel were the perfect hosts for my son, a buddy and me as we spent a week in the mountains above Silverton. Andy could not have been more accommodating, and the other guests were equally friendly. The rooms are basic with no frills, however everything we needed was provided. The price was an excellent value, with access to the town always a very short walk.
