In short, cheap, and full of undesirables, the room was dirty, many fittings and appliances were either broken or not working. The so called clean towels one looked like someone had used it to check there engine oil, the other to clean a murder scene. I will admit the staff were polite and efficient.

My husband and I were going to stay here for one night on our way home to California from a 3 week long "national park tour." We had already driven 300+ miles this day and were just happy to have a place to stay. We got the the Homestead suites after driving around for a long time trying to find the place which is very hidden. When we were driving to our room from the front desk we noticed ALOT of very sketchy looking people. these people looked like drug attics who lived here full-time. There were a lot of little kids running around who also must have lived here full-time because they had a ton of toys outside. We drove to pick up a pizza and on our way back in we noticed a very shady deal going on outside of our building (most likely a crack deal or other drug deal.) I called the manager and told her we didn't want to stay because we didn't feel safe and had a ton of belongings in our car and she said "I'm sorry we can't refund your money because you already checked in." I told her about the possible drug deal and she said " I don't know why you don't feel safe...we haven't had a crime here for MONTHS!!" That's when I laughed and told her if she didn't refund our money I was going to post it on trip advisor and contact her manager. She told us we could have our money back after all and we left and drove 150+ more miles to get as far away from this place as possible.

The room was in decent shape.
The Good: The 10 person hot tub was really nice after a hard day skiing. The staff was very helpful and got us what we needed.
The Bad: the room didn't have a pan for cooking in the kitchenette, and there weren't any hangars in the closet (staff brought these promptly when requested). I don't think there was a bathroom fan.. it makes me wonder about the Building codes in SLC.
The Ugly: It seems that in SLC there are only two kinds of people; the Mormons, who don't drink or take drugs or do anything offensive at all..... and the crackheads. Now there are a lot of immigrants who don't fit either category, but I want to get back to the crackheads. It seemed like this hotel, or the one next door might have been picking up some government money by renting rooms long-term as section 8 housing. There were some really dodgy folks who appeared to be living there. They provided really good entertainment value at the hot tub.

The people were so easy to work with and made my stay great. They were awesome to work with on any problems and any problems were quickly taken care of. I'd recomend this place to stay to anyone looking for a relaxing get away with awesome people to deal with.
