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.

I've stayed at America's Best Inn & Suites for three years running, for a major trade show (Outdoor Retailer). At a time when most hotels are $150+, and many booked, This place was $50-60 a night (if booked a few months in advance).

I'd recommend this for a business travel. While there is no breakfast, no amenities at all really, there is free wireless access and a nice Holiday Inn next door. Holiday Inn has a restaurant and lounge and I typically would eat breakfast there.

Keep in mind I stayed there for a place to go to sleep, and wake up and shower. Always plenty of hot water, daily housekeeping, and a friendly staff. If you plan on staying in your hotel room much, don't plan on hanging out at America's Best.

Taxi's are easy to come by, and it's about $10.00 with tip to get to downtown. For $50/night you could even rent a car and still be under budget from other area hotels!

This is a budget motel. Don’t expect bellhop service, etc.

The owners have done some cosmetic fixing up and the building is in pretty good repair except for the stairs, which they appeared to be getting ready to spruce up also. Otherwise, not bad.

Our room on the second floor had been recently painted, carpeted and caulked, etc., so it was more than fine considering the low price. There was a two-cup coffee maker, hair dryer and ironing board in the room. Separate heating/ac unit in each room. There is a TV with several cable channels. Also an alarm clock, of course.

The desk clerks were polite.

The bathroom was clean. No complaints about the maid service. The beds were made each day and new towels, etc. provided.

The free breakfast was about as basic as can be–coffee, a choice of cereal with paper bowls and plastic spoons, some white bread, a toaster, butter, jelly, and bananas. This is not a complaint. That’s about all I ever have at home anyway. I wasn’t expecting a sit-down with eggs and bacon–I am just pointing out what you get.

I had read about bedbugs at other SLC hotels (including a well-known high rate property), so I checked. The mattresses in our room were new and there were no signs of bedbugs. So no worries about that, at least in the room we had. (You may laugh at this, but this is becoming a big problem in the hotel industry, even at “luxury” hotels. You should educate yourself on this subject and check your hotel beds, no matter where you are staying)!

Convenient to downtown and easy access to the Interstate highways and ski resorts. But there is nothing much around this property in the way of restaurants, parks or tourist attractions.

There is a small pool, but we were there in early spring.

There is a computer in the lobby with internet access, which sometimes did not have a connection.

We were skiing at different resorts, so only needed a place to crash. We’ll probably opt for something a bit nicer next time, but this place is fine for a budget trip. I should point out that there were several construction workers staying there (no doubt attracted by the low rates) and the alarm clocks started going off at 5:00 a.m. each morning, then another at say 5:15, another at 5:30, etc. I guess the walls are not real thick.

Again, there is no way around this being a budget property. But it was nicer than what I expected.
