If there’s only one place left in Salt Lake City and you absolutely must, then stay here, at your own peril. They’ve recently tried to renovate the rooms but really shoddy work meant the shower head wasn’t properly plumbed into the wall, the shower leaked all over the bathroom floor and there were random holes in the bathroom counter. There was a chair in our room that I couldn’t go near for fear I would catch something - covered in stains. And the hallways were in disrepair. This was part of a longer stay where we stayed at about 30 budget motels/hotels in total - this was by far the worst. Budget hotels can still be basic but clean and well kept and this wasn’t one of them.

When we arrived, we noticed one of the bed frames was broken and we were quickly accommodate without a hassle. I did find it odd that most of the lights were not on for most of the night. The property was mostly lit by street lights. What I did not like was witnessing the front desk clerk racially profile a gentleman asking for a room. I witnessed the clerk blatantly lie about having no vacancy. Many curtains were open and obvious that no one is in there.
