While preparing to board AMTRAK in Salt Lake, we found we needed a place to stay in preparation to getting the California Zephyr in the early morning hours. We just happened on to the Howard Johnson Express when shopping for a hotel based on price. Could not have been happier. The staff let us come in before noon to drop... more

We stayed here because it was right in downtown and AAA book gave it a 2 diamond rating. We asked for a room by the pool so the kids could swim but we needed to eat first so we walked to the Crown Burgers across the street and I noticed several young men walking around. There was a creepy guy... more

We stayed here one night on a 4 day vacation. The location is great if you want easy access to downtown Salt Lake City. We thought the price was reasonable after checking several other hotels in the area. The room was nothing fancy but was clean and comfortable. Front desk clerk was very helpful in giving us recommendations where to... more

We flew to SLC to enjoy the Spurs/Jazz game and wanted something close by. This hotel was only a block away so we booked it. We called for their free shuttle and the lady said 10 minutes, we waited 35 minutes. We tried to get the driver to tell us stuff about the city but he wasn't really in the... more

This was an ok hotel, not too far away from where we needed to go. Rooms were spacious but not very clean, there were lots of ants in our bathroom. No bath, just a small shower. There is a pool, its a lot smaller than it looks in the photo, we did not use it though. I don't think I... more

Pulling into the Parking lot, this looks like a prison, really dull and grey! Entering the area where the lifts were was no better, the stairs which were inside were like the kind you would find outside, pretty worn and battered, the hallways were in a desperate need of brightning up. On entering the room it was in need of... more

We stayed just one night here and were perfectly comfortable. It was a case of dumping our luggage and getting straight out to see as much as we could. We visited the temple and the shopping area and had a meal at the Italin restaurant there. It was unfortunately a disappointing meal. We enjoyed Salt Lake City though more

Stayed in the HJ for 3 nights in September as part of an escorted tour (Jetsave) and will return. The location is ideal - close to the TRAX, Mall, Downtown etc. The complimentary breakfast REALLY hits the spot - healthy options only - no bacon or greasy stuff. Ideal ! The folks at reception were very busy when we checked... more

This older property caters to the budget minded guest with reasonable efficiency and hospitality. Make no mistake about it. This is a HoJo and not a JW Marriott or Cranwell or Four Seasons. But this is a reasonably good HoJo. Room: My room was large, with a comfortable bed, surprisingly well lit table with chairs, TV with CNN and HBO,... more
