Nice style in the room we had. Very clean and very comfortable. Nice to have a kitchenette as making and eating breakfast before going out in the morning works out great (saves time and money). Room was great value compared to other ski areas around the western US and Europe!!! Close to town. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had stayed... More

This is a re-post of a review I wrote last month. In my original, I had quoted another review and was informed I needed to re-post without the quote. Also, the manager of the property wrote a response that said that some units are rentable through third parties and not managed by the Prospector hotel staff. That may be true... More

I had called to ask for a fireplace in my room... was called back quickly and told they would do their best, Upon my arrival my room was wonderful - with fireplace~ Clean, comfortable and cozy! Will be booking again next year and would highly recommend to others! Close to everything but still quiet!

This was not my first choice for business convention but everything else was booked. This place was near the convention so the location was convenient. The room was noisy with a parking lot in front and bus stop. The room heater raddled at night. This place did not have a business center, the internet did not work properly with a... More

Thank you for your comments, however we do offer front desk service and daily housekeeping service. You may have booked your unit through an owner directly or another management company that owns units here. We would be happy to offer you a discount on your stay if you book directly with our property. 435-658-3030 Thank you, Sharon More

We found this hotel on Expedia.com and it was a fairly good rate for being so close to town and for having a kitchen in the room (suite). The property was nice, nothing luxurious but nice. However, they seemed overwhelmed. Our check-in time was delayed 1.5 hours because they hadn't cleaned our room. We were told it would take only... More

My wife won a contest from the Park City Visitor's Bureau that included 2 nights at The Prospector. We already had a room outside of Park City for the week, so this was a nice change of pace for us.

Thank you for your comments. I apologize that your stay was not perfect we hope you will give us another opportunity. We are making alot of changes to the property but will still remain a condo/hotel with individual owners of each unit which is the reasons for the hard keys and different decor in each unit.

The Prospector is more of a condo complex rather than a hotel, and different rooms/units most likely belong to different owners. I guess that explains the mixed reviews. My husband and I stayed there during our skiing trip, end of February - beginning of March, with another couple. Our room (building 5, room 532) was excellent. We were on the... More
