Not fancy, but the location can't be beat

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Apr 26, 2023
This hotel is a short walk away from much more expensive hotels, but retains the same proximity to a lot of my favorite haunts in Salt Lake City; Publik Coffee, Water Witch, the Capital City antique shop and the new 3hive record store location. The TRAX at Court station is a short walk away, making it significantly easier to go downtown and get to and from the airport.

The rooms themselves are not fancy; The furniture is old, I had to unplug the TV to plug in the microwave, but the rooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable, and the Wi-Fi is suspiciously reliable, which was pleasantly unexpected. Would stay here again.
Date of stay: April 2023
Room Tip: Rooms are not super soundproof.

Avoid booking this hotel at all costs ! When arriving to the hotel we were surprised when asked to pay $100 cash deposit as it had not previously been disclosed anywhere on the website. When we asked the manager to show us where it said this he refused.

Manager was extremely misogynistic and arrogant, only speaking to the man in our party.

We expected a refund when we were turned away and the hotel has held onto our money after using none of the Services. Without a doubt the worst experience I’ve ever had with a hotel. Cannot advise against it enough !

Dirty pool. Dirty corridors. Everything is old and sad. Happily we came only for one night. So many other hotels around, I recommand to chose any other, except for price reason. I recognize it was the cheapest

We booked this place during a busy week in SLC that didn't leave us many affordable options in the downtown area. Well, you get what you pay for (three nights in a double queen cost a little over $400 total.

We should have known something was up when they boasted about how many cameras were on the property and they had signs warning "no visitors after 8 PM or you will be fined." There were also signs posted about no smoking on the outside corridors, or again, you may be fined.

One problem for my wife was that the designated smoking area was in the parking lot and there were a lot of people hanging out there. She did not feel super safe. She even witnessed that a number of people would knock on one specific room door, say Hi and then be admitted for a few minutes, leaving after a brief visit,

The room itself was very average. Even though they advertised free breakfast, neither food nor coffee was offered in the lobby in the morning. And there was no way I was going to use the in-room coffee maker -- yuck! Another advertised amenity that was not provided was the outdoor pool -- no water in it, area closed off. I imagine that some of this may be left over from dealing with COVID, but most other places seem to have found a way to provide some level of service regarding breakfast, coffee, and pool access

The location is good, convenient for our visit to SLC and the U of U. But we will not be staying here again when we come to visit our daughter who goes to school here. No way.

Room tip: Get a room on the second floor because you need a room key to access the stairwell. Rooms on the first floor are accessible to anyone.

I will let the photos speak for themselves...the photos they use to advertise this hotel must have been taken 20+ years ago. There is NO pool, it is empty. The 70s wallpaper has blood stains on it. Our room had obviously had a bad water leak and the wallpaper was crinkled and plaster thrown all over the walls, not even covered over. Some white substance evidence on the coffee table, window seals are mouldy. Plug sockets that are broken with exposed holes and wires. Blocked bathroom sink with no plug so you could see all the way down the dirty drain. Room smells like an ashtray. Two beds in the room...second one was propped up on an old dirty mattress and not even covered up. The only reason this is a two star is because of the central location. If you're thinking of staying here, don't. It needs a total renovation.

I had to book this room last minute to deal with a family emergency in the city. The photos looked decent and reviews said it was clean and the price was great. When we arrived late in the evening, the guy behind the desk was apathetic, and actually rather rude. The stairwell up to the third floor was the beginning of my feelings that this may have been a mistake. Between the back alley feel and the phallus shaped artwork on the windows were pretty demoralizing. The cart full of junk outside the door of the room next to us didn't help. Inside the room, I immediately noticed that the walls were scuffed all over and that you could see where light fixtures had been changed. The carpet had stains and was pretty worn. MY wife found some long black hair on the towels in the bathroom, and all they supplied were a pair of bath towels. When she asked the gentleman in the lobby for replacements, he provided a single towel, forcing her to ask for another, and then a hand towel and washcloth. He was pretty rude about the whole thing. Our room had a window facing West Temple, and it's only a single pane so the road noise was significant when compared to a room in other places. There was a lack of outlets that were easily accessible next to the bed, so if you travel with a CPAP, be ready to mobe the bed to plug in. The bed was clean, and the Tempurpedic mattress was nice, but the box spring had obviously been victim to a cat that decided to sharpen its claws. After an OK night's sleep, we took morning showers. In the shower, it looks like the tile had been painted over, and the paint was peeling badly. The worst part of the room in my book is in the shower. The showerhead provided a mere dribble and was simply the most disappointing shower I've ever had in my life. It's a shame, because this property, has some real potential to be a really cool place, so I hope the owners can take this review as constructive criticism and make some improvements.

Room tip: Just don't.
