"Great downtown location"
I stayed at t he Red Lion in Salt Lake while visiting with family and friends. The downtown location, and close freeway access, made it easy to get around. Friendly staff, a plus!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"You get what you pay for"
Although the Red Lion is an all non-smoking hotel, every entry way had a group of smokers that you have to go through to enter the hotel. The smoke carries up to your room and makes it uncomfortable to go in and out and walk your dog (since we were traveling with one).Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Pretty close to the downtown area"
Our first impression of the hotel was the staff was really friendly, then we got to our room and there was a bug on the wall and it the carpets needed to be cleaned, but it was quiet and the beds were comfortable.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great place to stay."
Only stayed one night with a friend who was in town. Staff was friendly. Shuttle to downtown was so convenient. Room was well kept and clean. Would definitely recommend and stay again!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Disappointed but not all bad"
I really wanted to like the Red Lion Hotel. The worst part was our mattress. It was just too old and soft, err rather well used. Housekeeping does an OK job the the maintenance crews are keeping this old gal up. I saw several things that just were poor maintenance. I know the management doesn't know the proper way to run a front desk. The front desk […] manager must not have a desk because she stands at the front desk and just talks away. Overall I guess I just expected more. Not sure I'll go back. The cafe had a very unhealthy menu and were out of the things we wanted to eat. Oh well. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

This staff is excellent from the time you walk in to the time you depart.Excellent! The beds are comfortable, and set up nicely.

"Surprising stay"
We stayed at this location prior to a flight out. To my surprise this hotel was clean and nice. I was also happy to have a comfortable pillow top bed. My family and I did not expect to have a great rest prior to an early morning flight. We will definitely use this hotel again!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good location and great value"
Great location near the popular beer pubs red rock and squatters. Super nice receptionist got us a room with a view of the wasatch. Updated beds are super soft. Does not include any breakfast, but they do have a buffet for 8 bucks, i just went to McDonalds.Genuine Expedia guest review
we had the room temperature at 80 degrees the whole time and were still not comfortably warm. We had expected more channels on the t.v. and there was no pay for view or DVD options that we would have liked. The diner in the building was slow on service, asked for no mushrooms and still got them, didn't ask what we wanted to drink and when we reminded […] them it was very slow in coming. Did not check on our table enough and it wasn't busy so it should have been better service. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Convenient to restaurants"
Great value! I expected much less for the price I was paying. The room was clean, linens were acceptable and bed was super comfortable. I would guess that they have done a recent renovation and it was done nicely. The lounge was functional serving meals and drinks but not a place to have a romantic glass of wine. Overall, I was very impressed - nice […] hotel and great value for the dollar. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Enjoyed our stay."
Room was nice and clean. Bed was probably the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept in. The room's exteriors wall was completely glazed which made for a nice view but a somewhat cool room. Hotel offers no complimentary breakfast but is within a couple blocks of a Denny's and McDonalds.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Red lion"
When the heat would turn on in the room, it sounded like a jet plane was taking off right over your headGenuine Expedia guest review
There was no hair dryer in the room and when I booked my room it said there would be, so this was disappointing as I needed it. It was very loud the night I was there from the hockey teams that were staying there (kids). Otherwise it was niceGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Red Lion Hotel Salt Lake Downtown Thank you for taking the time to share your comments with us about your recent stay at the Red Lion Salt Lake Downtown. Please accept our apology for the missing hair dryer, which is standard in all rooms and usually tucked away on the top shelf of the closet. We know you wanted to feel and look your best, and while we didn't provide all the necessary tools, we are confident you looked wonderful all the same. We were happy to see that your overall stay was a success, despite the enthusiastic hockey players. We hope you consider us again on your next visit to Salt Lake, and have a wonderful day!
"great hotel for a family!"
Reception was not friendly at all! Shuttle drivers wer e very nice! Shuttle was very convenientGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great hotel for the price!"
The hotel was good but we had 5 in the room -- 3 kids and 2 adults and they kept giving us 3 towels each day and not enough shampoo, even though we saw the cleaning ladies in the hall early on and asked for more amenities. Couldn't beat the price, though, and the parking was free, unlike other hotels in town.Genuine Expedia guest review
"great hotel"
the only dissapointment was the air vent on the restroom. it didn't work. really needed it when taken a shower.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Not worth your money"
Hotel was having trouble with their boilers. The hotel was freezing we left early. Horrible experience.Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by Red Lion Hotel Salt Lake Downtown We, too, were disappointed that our boiler acted up durinig some of the coldest nights in Utah this winter. And we want to extend a heart-felt apology for the discomfort that resulted. We have taken the necessary steps to ensure this problem does not resurface by investing in a new boiler system, which we are confident will keep our guests nice and warm. We only wish that the system had come sooner to avoid the type of inconvenience and unpleasant stay that you experienced. We do appreciate your comments and hope the bulk of your stay in Salt Lake was pleasant. Have a wonderful day!
The staff was very friendly. I'll stay at this hotel again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Just a great hotel"
My wife and I booked this hotel on the way to Washington for Christmas and we couldn't have been happier. For the price I didn't expect much and we were blown away at the quality. Our room was massive with plenty of space. The bed was comfortable and the room was spotless. The hotel itself does have a few sloppy parts if you're looking hard but it's […] nothing to deter you loving this place. There wasn't much to walk to but the area was safe. We were up on the 6th floor and the view from the window was beautiful. The front desk staff when checking in were super friendly and made you really feel welcomed. The only complaint I have if I had to come up with one was the fact they have sealed the balcony doors to the rooms for energy conservation and the only reason that was a problem was due to me being a cigarette smoker. I will definitely be staying here every time I go through SLC. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Bargain hotel for cheaper price."
It was disappointing because of the star rating that expedia gave it. It is definately more of a bargain hotel. Dining was very expensive, and hotel decor was not updated. So I would book it again at a bargain rate but would never pay full price!Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by Red Lion Hotel Salt Lake Downtown We at the Red Lion Hotel Salt Lake Downtown greatly appreciate your feedback regarding your recent visit. Our purpose is to provide our guests with the best experience possible at the most affordable prices, and we are committed to maintaining a high standard of service and comfort at a great value. Your comments are an indication that we can do better—and we will! Our restaurant menu was designed to fit most pocketbooks without sacrificing quality and freshness. One dollar-stretching option is our Red Lion Roaring Start Breakfast Buffet. Perhaps we failed to mention our buffet during your stay, and for this we apologize. We hope your visit to Salt Lake was one you will cherish, and we are encouraged to see that you are open to giving us another try. Thank you for letting us know about your stay at the Red Lion, and have a wonderful day!
"Too many annoying things to return"
My husband and I stay with family over the holiday weekend and then check into a hotel to enjoy a couple of ski days. We decided to stay in the city and booked Red Lion for its mixture of price, location and amenities -- we don't demand luxury. Skiing requires a hot tub at the end of the day. I don't book a hotel that doesn't have a hot tub. I was very […] disappointed to return from skiing to have the door to the hot tub dead-bolted. Went to front desk to find out why, they didn't know and had to call maintenance. Turns out they didn't have the right balance of chlorine or something. No sign, no apologies. Apparently the night before the chlorine balance was fine because the door was open but we had just checked in and didn't need the hot tub. Major disappointment. We parked in back in front of a secondary but large, well-lit lobby, closest to elevators that served our room. The 1st night the door was open. The second night the door was dead-bolted. No sign directing us to the nearest door, or explanation as to why it was locked. Annoying. The last morning, we went down to breakfast (Red's Diner was the highlight of this hotel), came back and our keys were both defunct. Had to go back to the lobby to get new keys just so we could turn around and check out. The hotel is walking distance (if you like to walk) from downtown restaurants and across the street from an excellent coffee house (Rawbean). Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
