Provo is a very nice looking city of over 100,000. But be advised! You cannot get a taxi there at night! Though Provo is fairly good-sized, it's Amtrak station is nothing more than a platform with a shelter. Although the phone number to the local taxi service is posted, they don't answer their phone. I discovered this when connecting overnight between Amtrak and Greyhound. I ended up walking from the train to the Best Western at 11pm. Fortunately, it appeared to be in a safe neighborhood!
The B-W Columbian itself was fine. It looks a little seedy at night, what with the exterior passageways. But don't let that fool you. This place offers basic accommodations in clean rooms at an affordable rate. And as I was just making an overnight connection, that's all I needed!
