I stayed at this hotel for a week since all the hotels within the Salt Lake city downtown area were booked. It's an inconvenient location approximately 10 miles north of the city, if your business is in downtown. But if you're just passing through this is actually a convenient stop with no city congestion. Not too many people stay at this hotel. During my stay, I counted on average 25 cars total in the huge parking lot.
Amenities include:
- free tea/coffee in lobby
- free fresh-baked cookies in the evenings
- free continental breakfast (the selection will disappoint some people, don't expect too much)
- indoor pool (tiny) - didn't use but seemed clean and pleasant - I saw a few kids having fun there one evening
- free wireless internet access - worked great in my room and the lobby area. Rooms do not have wired ethernet ports so bring your wireless adapter if needed
- tiny "business center" with a couple of computers you can use for free
- tiny laundry room with one washer/dryer
Room details:
- queen with sleeper sofa (they do have double-queen rooms and king rooms)
- desk/table
- armoire
- luggage chest
- TV
The neighborhood:
- next door neighbor one side is a Motel 6
- next door neighbor other side are modest single family homes
- across the street is a tank farm supporting a refinery a couple miles down the road (I couldn't smell anything from this industrial area which surprised me)
- Denny's and a Mexican restaurant are next to the Motel 6. Both restaurants are rundown and not many people go there.
- across the highway is a very old shopping area with a couple of older restaurants, Kmart
Overall recommendation:
- For the price (approximately $80), I think this hotel is just fine.
- I'd recommend this for a quick overnight stay while on a road trip
