As a whole, the hotel is a good place to stay. It is a 20 min walk to downtown but I think the hotels which are closer are more expensive anyway.
It was clean but a bit noisy as we stayed in the side of the hotel that was the closest to the road, just ask a room in the far back and I think you'll be fine.
The reception staff was nice and there was a computer with free internet in the lobby which was not always the case in other more expensive hotels we stayed at during our trip in the US.

This is the best budget hotel close to the downtown area. All the other hotels are on the higher budget, but if you are looking for something close by, clean, quiet and inexpensive, this is the place. I was here for the Sundance Festival and because of the location, I was close to the theatres in Salt Lake City and close to I80 on the way to Park City. I also have issued with many motels/budget hotels located on busy, noisy roadways but this one had a U-shape away from the street with all the rooms facing the inside. There was no noise whatsoever. In the morning they offered a continental breakfast starting at 6.30am so if you want to hit the slopes you might have time to grab cereals, toast and a hot drink.

I have never seen such a discusting place in all my life. The first thing we encountered when we walked into our room was a small refrigerator covered with dust. The rest of the room looked old and worn but when we saw what looked like blood splattered on the ceiling above the bed we asked for another room. The next room had broken glass in a picture frame on the wall and was equally worn looking. We asked for another room which looked better than the others but on closer inspection we found that the sink was cracked, the white toilet seat was worn through to the wood andstained with what looked like red marker, there was no iron but the ironing board was there and the chairs were stained and coated with filth. The first night we came back after a day of siteseeing the room was just as we left it. There were clean towels,and the bed wasunmade. The remote for the TV didn't work. We asked for another and that didn't work either. The serve yourself continental breakfast was in a filthy kitchen. There was tea but no hot water, old looking cereal and a package of white bread with about 5 slices of bread, and fake orange juice.
This place is an absolute nightmare. When the room started smelling of cigarette smoke we checked out. Should have done it before we ever checked in. The staff was accommodating enough and we weren't charged for the last night we had booked and didn't use.
Beware of using a credit card here. I originally booked by phone reserving the room with my credit card. A couple of weeks later I got a call from my credit card company saying that there was some suspicious acitiviy on the account. My husband paid for the room using his card and about a week or two later got notification from his card service tellig him that they had seen suspicious activity on his account . We think the common demoninator is America's Best....or should I say Worst.

I thought I was getting a bargain at 57 bucks with an airport shuttle. I could hear another guest barfing. I could hear people walking in front of my room all night. The neighborhood wasn't dangerous but kind of on the outskirts of downtown salt lake and i didn't feel comfortable leaving my car there for a week. the room was shabby and not too clean. tv reception was terrible. pillows flat. heat horrible. on the upside staff was nice and they had a computer you could use to surf the internet (which i did to make reservations at the ramada inn - near the airport on amelia earhart drive - fabulous at 39 bucks!). I usually don't take the time write reviews but felt the inn was falsely advertised and not as "shiny' as its description indicated. would NOT stay there again.
