The Prospector - Park City

Was out for a quick guys ski trip. Nice place to stay on city bus route, close to restaurants, and ski resorts. Outdoor hot tub could use better maintenance skimming debris out of it on a daily basis. Having the microwave, stove, and mini-fridge was a nice bonus to eat leftovers and breakfast.

The room was adequate and at 50% of the "resort" rooms in town, a terrific value. Also, in Park City, NO ONE has easy access to the entry lifts. However, all have easy access to FREE shuttle buses (they come every 20 minutes and there are two bus stops at the Prospector. Althoug the wonderful GrubSteak is across the street, Main Street and Park Street […] and their delights are a short suttle ride away. Now, the "kicker"! My partner shattered her shoulder first day and had to be transported to emergency surgery in SLC. The Prospector desk people and central management were incredibly compassionate and arranged for me to get a refund for three of the four days we had booked. I have no idea what some folk's snarky comments about management are all about -- but after about 6 PM they ARE harder to contact. BFD. Read more

Overall it was a good stay, that is, after transferring to a new room. My reservation through Hotels.com initially got us a room with two twin murphy beds rather than a queen. A call to the office got a new room, but there was that initial confusion.

Thought it fit the bill just right, and for a reasonable price.

I rented 3 rooms at the same price for my adult children and families. # rooms at the same price...certainly not the same quality. 1 was very nice, 1 was ok and the 3rd was horrid! Would not recommmend this place as I felt deceived with the 3rd room. I took pictures if ANYONE interested in staying they would be welcome to look and would run fast.

Judging by the feedback from other guests, I was expecting a run down ski hotel, that was just a place to sleep while not skiing. That was not the case at all, first off the hotel is a little out of the way from main street. But that ended up being a great thing! You were far enough away that you don't have to worry about the traffic and hordes of out […] of towners, but close enough that you can get to main street/Park City resort within 5 mins. Being familiar with PC, I was able to find free parking and only have a short walk to get to any part of main street...literally like a 5 min walk to any where on main street. Only negatives for this hotel: 1. Hallway in Bldg 9 smelled a little funny, but rooms smelled great! 2. Shower in bathroom, at 5'6", it was difficult for me to get under the water, I can't imagine how a taller person does it. 3. There was a large metal shelf unit in the bathroom, which took up over half of the already small bathroom. Maybe move it to the sink area and put a smaller shelf in the bathroom instead, or just take out all together. Overall, this was a great hotel and I will be staying there again...especially during peak season, when main street can be a nightmare. I guess it helps to know the little tips/tricks to get around easy and for free! Read more

What a dump!! Let's start with the person at the front desk gave a combination to get into area our room was. Not sure why needed cause door not only unlocked but propped open. Carpet in hall was easily 1970's front porch type carpet ragged and dirty. Went into our room toilet seat stained tried to clean to no avail. Turned on television they have Direct […] TV turned to Comedy Central television said parental lock on called front desk to find out combination to unlock TV. Was told hotel not responsible for the satellite I need to call direct TV to see if they can help. Obviously no insulation in walls or ceiling cause you hear all conversations and all movements of your neighbors. But the kicker was the heater that clicked for 5 minutes before turning on, the clicking sounded like someone pounding nails in drywall. Then when it kicks on it is loud as Hell! Stays on for maybe 2 minutes then turns off and clicks for another ten minutes, this happens approximately every 20 minutes! Went up to spend night over in Park City for Sundance and ended up the this hunk of crap palace!!! Read more

it's an old hotel with very old furniture and plumbing, It's also a very clean and comfortable hotel, nice people at front desk. If you need a place to stay that's inexpensive and not a five star name . I recommend. Expect basic needs for a nights sleep.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were very happy with our room, the fireplace was such a great amenity! close to the bus line, very comfortable. The only problem: we were on the ground floor because I had requested a balcony. The noise from upstairs was a distraction. Otherwise, GREAT, and I'd definitely stay here again!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

They could use a an interior designer! Too much FUFU plants! Faucet leak. Nice friendly guy at the front desk. They should sell some good Indian food too. Will go back in March.

Park City is a great place and this hotel is fairly central and that is about all it has going for it. This hotel had a low rating by other users and I should've taken note. When we got in there was no staff person available and check in took over an hour after we had driven for 14 hours- not so great. As we were waiting the staff person proceeded to […] wait on the person behind us because she thought it would be quicker due to the reservation being on hotels.com. We were sent to a completely unmade room with towels everywhere and the tv on. Not sure what happened there and then finally given a new room with some apologies which was further away from the hotel amenities (which matters in freezing temperatures) and was of a lower quality than the first room. I would not choose this hotel again even if I had to pay more. Read more

DVD player in room didn't work well. No documentation for ice machine location or how-to/where-is info.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We booked two rooms over the weekend - one was very nice and the other was very dated. The two were like night and day. We joked that one belonged to the King and the other his squier. That being said, it was a decent place to stay (about 3 minutes from old Main Street) and a very good value. The check-in process (at 11 pm) was super convenient and […] easy - they just left our keys in a lock box for us). The place is nothing fancy, but we would definitely stay again! Read more

the first room they put me in looked nothing like the pictures on expedia the hallway and room both smelled like curry was not pleased. they upgraded my room at no cost which was nice but still not like the rooms in the pics and the hot tub was broke after a long day of snowboarding this was not what i was expecting and was not happy about all the hassle […] i wont be staying there ever again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Aside from giving us a key to someone else's room, we had a good experience. They gave us an upgraded unit at no cost after that. However, if you plan on sleeping in, room service comes at nine in the morning so hang the door notice.

Genuine Expedia guest review

When our TV didn't work in the room we rented we were immediately upgraded to an even nicer studio. Everything, even in the first studio, was very cozy and felt like home (actually, as college students who live in an apartment already, it felt nicer than our own home). We were only slightly put off by the fact that the hot tub wouldn't be open for a […] couple days due to maintenance, but we kind of didn't even want to leave the hotel room that night anyways. A little takeout and a movie was all we needed :) Read more

Great hotel stay. It was way more than we were expecting, and with such a great price from Expedia, there was no complaints on our side!

Genuine Expedia guest review

We stayed at the prospector for our honeymoon. Upon arrival there was only a tiny bit of toilet paper left on the roll with no spare so we had to immediately drive back to the main office to pick up an extra roll but they didn't have any in the office so sent a maid over with the new roll later that day. We went out shopping and to dinner then came […] back to snuggle in bed and watch some tv. Around midnight my wife looked over on the night stand and saw a cockroach by some snacks we had. I tried to smash it with my show but those things are as fast as a cheetah so he went under our bed and we were freaked out the rest of the night. The rooms were pretty small and cramped and hard to maneuver. Shower is tiny and bathroom is tiny. The toilet and shower are in a tiny room with a door and the sink is right next to the bed so for a family stay you would shower then be out getting ready, drying off, getting dressed in front of everyone else in the hotel. We won't be staying here again. Read more

I will not ever stay at this place again. I will sleep on a park bench before booking this so called hotel again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel front desk closed early, so we were left to check ourselves in. It was very confusing. The room was in an older building but was very nicely renovated. The air conditioning unit in the room was not working and it was very hot.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Arrived at 5 pm. Found a note to call a person for check in details. Called numerous times with no answer or return call. Finally called an emergency maintenance number. Guy didn't know the code but gave us some combos to try. None worked. My son got lucky and tried one he made up and got into a lock box that had a room key for us. It said to come by […] in morning to finish check in. Next morning still no clerk. We gave the key to someone else that said she worked there. Never did hear back from them so I guess if my son was not lucky we would have had to go get a different room somewhere else. Never going here again!! Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Really nice hotel! I was really impressed with the room that we got. This may sound strange but I was so happy they had a DVD player in the room. Not very many hotels have that. The check out time was a little early, but if you ask they can change it with no problems. Overall very satisfied and will be staying there again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

If there is such a thing as a ghetto in Park City this is about it. The hotel is not really a hotel. It is a long term condo rental type place and most of the dwellers appear to be transiants. Would not recommend this place even on a budget. Either go to a better hotel in PC or dont go at all.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Good room, accommodating staff. The only problem was the hot tub was broken.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Wanted a nice weekend away and this place was perfect. Very cozy and comfortable. Our room was excellent - the showers were clean, the beds were soft, and there was even an all-in-one washer/dryer. We needed a tad bit of help from maintenance getting the fireplace to work, but it was no big deal. The maintenance guy was very friendly and had it taken […] care of in a pinch. If you're looking for super-awesome WiFi, you might want to note that in my experience it wasn't very fast. It was worse than dial-up in the building I was in, so I ended up using my cell phone instead. I am not subtracting a star from my review mostly because WiFi wasn't that important to me - but I feel it is worth mentioning. The hotel is close to everything, especially the slopes. You can catch the ski bus from right outside the hotel, which is handy. All in all, it's a very nice and comfortable place to stay. It was also very clean and well kept. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The people around us partied until 5 a.m. The whole building is made out of 2 x 4's no concrete and it squeeks like a tree hut in the wind whenever anyone above you walks around. If you're unlucky enough to stay here be sure to request an upstairs room so you can torment the sorry souls below you.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This place is more like a college dormatory and the service is similar. I also know for a fact that I paid way more for than others, so yeah, I'm not appy with it at all, but if I were spending a long time in Park City and could get it for a really good price, I'd have to give it another try.

The desk clerk that evening was very nice. The room smelled, the faucets turned both directions, so they had to be placed at a certain point to turn the water off, the lamp had a burned out bulb, the blinds were broke, the TV was so small you had to set right in front of it, the remote didn't work, bedding was OLD and thread bare, no ice or vending […] machines in the "budget" priced buildings, the "kitchenette" was an old plastic shelf with a roll of paper towels, 1 coffee cup, 2 bowls, 3 saucers, a basket of silverware, and a water caraffe. The stairs were rickety, and the walls were so thin we could hear people outside yelling at each other. The website and photos are very misleading. The beds were ok comfortwise, and the pillows were fluffy. If you are just needing a place to sleep for a few hours, and then hit the road, maybe stay here, otherwise, avoid at all costs. Read more

Overall the hotel is impressive except for the shower, the shower handle control is not customer friendly because of it old design and complicated operation. l ended up not taking a shower until l got back to my house in California.

My experince with the hotel before 10 pm was fine, clean room, nice staff but after 10 pm it turned into a nightmare! My first impression walking to the room was I felt like I was staying at someone’s apartment while they were out of town. I had to do everything myself because the management company was only there till 6 PM and hard to get a hold of […] after hours to resolve any issues. The walls are VERY VERY thin and I could hear every word/movement in the room next to me….until 3 AM. Personally I wish I would have spend $20.00 more and stayed somewhere nicer and had an enjoyable trip. Spending the night here ruined my trip. If you’re looking for a nice place where you feel like you’re on vacation, can relax and not have to worry about the people in the room next to you this is NOT the place to stay. If you need a cheaper place that’s clean and close to downtown and only ever need anything between the hours of 8am and 6pm then this place is fine. Read more

This was a ski vacation and family reunion with three families sharing a 3 bedroom condo. It was a very convenient location as we all had cars (not walking distance to the downtown or slopes), but the bus shuttle stopped in front of the hotel so no one was stranded. In any event it was a 5-10 minute drive to any location. The condo was comfortable with […] all the amenities necessary. The managers where very liberal with our check in and check out time, and our stay was very pleasant. Would recommend this facility. Read more

The "Standard Hotel Room" looks NOTHING like the Hotels.com photos of The Prospector. I was expecting a nice, clean, comfortable lodge like room. Instead, these are personal condos rented out on daily/ weekly/ monthly rates. The carpet is rough (like outdoor carpeting at best), there were half-filled bath soap bottles and hair on the walls of the shower, […] the room felt like it was from thrift store furnishings and the plates and utensils had a nice layer of dust on them. The only thing this place had going for itself was the EXCELLENT service of the front desk attendants - KEEP looking at other deals - this is not being recommended. Read more

I was really happy with the location of this Hotel as it put us within reach to many facilities and Old Park City very quickly. Will definately come back.

Ok hotel in overpriced Park City.

Genuine Expedia guest review

A good place to stay in Park City. The price is right plus it is very convenient to the bus line. Just jump on any bus to downtown, or ski resort. The only complaint I have was that we received a premium studio instead of a premium hotel room. The bed was suppose to be a queen. It either was the smallest queen ever or a double. Otherwise, I was overall […] satisfied with my stay. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Disgusting. I would never recommend The Prospector to anyone. The pictures are deceiving and look nothing like the rooms. The rooms were unsanitary and filthy, the bed were miserable as were the pillows, the curtains were taped together and were not even the full length of the window, and it smelled horrible. It was a horrible experience and a waste […] of money. We would have been better off at the Super 8. Read more
