We stayed one night during our trip through beautiful Utah. Of the 6 or 7 motels we stayed in, it was the least clean and the least comfortable. The bed was ok but the sponge pillows - ugh! No breakfast included, although a restaurant was within walking distance. Motel staff attentive.

The room was very clean and spacious. The workers at the front desk were extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the area. They advised us on good restaurants in Escalante (Escalante Outfitters), as well as excellent hikes in Grand Staircase (Petrified Forest and Calf's Creek trails). The restaurant in the back was great, as well as our waitress. Everyone in town... More

After a long drive from Moab to Escalante along the beautiful highway 24 we were pleased to be welcomed with a smile and and to be given a very comfortable room. Although we only stayed for one night we would have been very happy to stay more, but our plans dictated we moved on the following day to St George... More

We stayed in the Prospector Inn with groups of 20 to 30 people from Germany, Switzerland and Austria for the last 10 years now, always in September and always for 1 night. We think it´s highest time now to give this hotel a very good ranking, because it served our guests and us so well. The booking is easy via... More

The rooms are decent size, could use some decoration to make it a bit more cozy. The beds are rather on the small size. The room has a flat screen tv, a microwave and fridge but no coffee making facilities. In the bathroom you have a large mirror with lots of light. Breakfast is not inlcuded but there is a... More

The Prospector was a last minute choice for us. It is one of the newer buildings in the small town of Escalate and right in the heart of town close to dining and the popular outdoor destinations around Escalate. The room was very clean and the price reasonable. The walls are thin but it is mostly an outdoor activity type... More

We wanted to stay near Bryce but found everywhere next to it to be expensive and booked up. This motel in Escalante turned out to be our saving grace - Reasonable price, clean and comfortable. Sweet and helpful lady at the front desk. All you'd want from your standard motel. I recommend the restaurant "Circle D'eatery" just across the road... More

I initially stopped at the Cowboy Inn before checking into the Prospector Inn. Not only was the room less expensive (two guys to share a room) but the room was nicer. The view was nice and the room was a clean updated room. Bathroom was spotless and the linens were bright white. The restaurant in the back of the Inn... More

Hotel rooms are fairly large with 2 queen beds and quite clean. Our rate on a Saturday night, drop in price was $66 - with tax was $74. Amenities include a refrigerator, microwave, and tv. No coffee pot - but they serve coffee and tea in the lobby from 6:30 am. For a blow dryer, ask at the front desk.... More
