First, the staff were great and the property, on the inside was nice. However, the number of homeless around the hotel, both day and night, made it feel unsafe. I worried all night long about my car in the parking garage. In many ways it felt like back in San Francisco.
The room was nice and clean, bed comfy, and had a decent view of the city center. Breakfast in the morning was also set in a nicer large restaurant setting with lots of options. It’s free, so don’t expect suburb quality. The food will tide you over until lunch.
Restaurants abound, but walking to one less than a block away had me approached twice by homeless asking for money. I also saw a lady strung out on a bench, two homeless men fighting, and a homeless man yelling at traffic in the middle of the road. Oh how Salt Lake City has declined.
