It was a cheap room...
This was a very cheep room in a great location. Within walking distance from a lot of downtown hotspots. They require a cash deposit for incidentals, which is quite weird. They do have an ATM in the lobby. But the surprise of that made it irritating, plus the charge to withdraw the cash. Looks like theyve tried to modernize these rooms but fall short on the maintenance. Bathroom mirror is one of those new style with the light border around it which was really nice. The curtains were torn and had little holes all over. The mattress was Very comfy. Again, it was a cheap room for about $54/a day. I wouldnt pay a dime more than that! The staff was friendly.
Broken light fixture. Shocking?

Good location & quality for reasonable rate
Excellent location within a 5 minute drive of Temple Square. Old property but clean and very quiet with elevator for 2nd floor guests. Room had TV, microwave, fridge, extra chair and round table to eat on, bathroom with tub, shower, hair dryer, shampoo and soap; very reasonable rate. CASH deposit of $100 required on checkin! Refunded at checkout.

Get what you pay for
I guess for the price you get what you get. Curtains were see through until it was dark outside and dark in your room. So no privacy and light from the city shined right in. No shower as water never got warm. Cash deposit makes zero sense to me. I understand how banks work and returns on deposits, but just seems to not make sense. Fridge smelled. Stains on sheets. Smudges on the walls. Maybe with some effort they can make this place better but from the looks of it I don’t think that will happen. If you are planning to stay a night you should be fine but a couple nights or more may drive you crazy.

Their ice machine was beeping very loudly right out side our room. I called front desk but they couldn’t figure it out. So after three hrs of listening to it I went and looked at it myself and opened it up, flipped a switch and stopped the beeping myself. Overall, nice, comfortable beds and pretty clean rooms.

This was a very strange experience. I expected the weird downtown setting; for what we paid, I expected things like the wallpaper peeling in the bathroom and the door that looked like someone was slammed into it. But I had no expectation that we would be required to provide a Cash deposit for our stay. I’ve never had a hotel/motel REQUIRE cash for the deposit. We then had to wait for them to check the room at the end of our stay so we could get our cash back. It was all strange.

Check-in was terrible. First, my reservation had been cancelled and I didn't do it. Second, I asked if I could check-in early and they said it would cost $25. Do I came back later and had to rebook thru the website to get a room.

Andre

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean and comfy, and the staff was general friendly and helpful. However, when checking in, they insisted on a $100 CASH deposit. This was never mentioned in the booking information or the confirmation. They claimed it was much easier than a credit card deposit and that we could get cash at the ATM in their lobby, which I'm sure they get a kickback from and charges fees to use. Luckily, we had enough cash so didn't have to use it. That whole interaction seemed very shady to me.
