The short version
What visitors say about Prospector Hotel & Gambling Hall
The Prospector is the Ely hotel dog owners look for. A whole wing is set aside for pets, and guests traveling with dogs found treats and a dog bed waiting in the room. The decor is eclectic, with sculptures and art scattered around like a small museum, and arriving guests get drink tickets and a pair of earplugs. Beds are comfortable and the rooms usually clean. Margaritas, the Mexican restaurant, gets mostly good reviews.
Those earplugs hint at the downsides. Hallway and upstairs noise has cost some guests a night's sleep, and cigarette smoke from the casino reaches the corridors and some rooms. A few repeat visitors think standards are slipping, pointing to dog hair on bedding, weak air conditioning and rates that feel steep for the area. The pool has been closed or unheated on more than one visit.

The room was clean and comfortable, but there's no way to completely escape the smoke smell from the casino. They provided ear plugs and free drink coupons, so that was nice. They're very pet friendly, but we don't have any pets. If you don't mind hallways smelling smoky, it's a nice place to stay.
Just spent 5 days there for a family reunion and the 4th of July. My family went early to town to get seats for the parade and enjoy the town breakfast. I went to the front desk to ask about an uber or taxi in town when I was ready and was told there isn’t one. Without hesitation the front desk person offered me to…
