Cockroaches, spiders in the room, dirty walls in the bathroom, dirty & severely stained carpet. Lighting seems purposefully dim to hide the stains on the dingy carpet… When booking the hotel on expedia, I felt comfortable that expedia would weed-out the undesirable hotels, but such was not the case!

Well my room had a leaking AC unit that covered the closet floor with water and had created a very obvious and visible mold problem. Front desk lady was very rude and inconsiderate. Otherwise room was clean enough and it was cheap for being so close to downtown SLC.

Unfriendly Staff and “Hidden Fees”

The attendant at the front desk was really quite rude in both checking in and checking out. There was a $100 hold placed on my card for “incidentals” she did a horrible job in explaining this. We were told the hold would be credited back to my card within 24 hours of checking out, at this point we’re over 48 hours from checking out and the hold is still on my card. However I will say the beds are very comfortable and the downtown location is great.

The room my wife my baby and I were put in wasn’t even on the inside portion of the hotel. I had to take my family up some stairs outside into a dirty room. There was hand prints on the head board , dusty, boogers. I asked for help getting situated to another room and was not helped. My room was next to the door that goes into the inside portion of the hotel and there were people slamming that door all hours of the night. The pictures are not an accurate representation of the conditions.

The hotel is conveniently located 10-15 minutes walking distance from center of downtown. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was okay, would have liked to see more fruit variety. My room's bathroom was not that clean, some hairs were on the sink. Additionally, the sound isolation is not great, I could hear the footsteps of the people upstairs and it definitely disturbed my sleeping.

Noisy, not clean, service was poor.

Our room was next to the street, and it was extremely noisy. There was black mold between the bathroom tiles. The bed was too hard for my taste. We will not be staying here again.
