Howard Johnson Express

Great room for the money

Was a great location since we were in town for a concert at the Energy Solutions Arena and it was only about a block away. Room was clean, staff was friendly and helpful, when we had a problem with the toilet sent someone up to fix it. Walls were a little thin but would stay here again.

Gets the job done

If you need to be in the heart of down town SLC but don't want to pay a whole lot then this will do fine. My only issues with the place were that my sheets left me very itchy on the first night and the bed is like sleeping on a rock. I was expecting to have a fridge and a couch in the room but it didn't. They did provide a nice sized desk with computer chair but I would rather have a couch. The lobby is the bright spot of the place as well as the only new looking area. The provided breakfast in the lobby was better then I was thinking it was going to be but even still it was just bagels cereal and bagels with oj and hot chocolate.

Great Hotel for the Price

I was pleasantly surprised with my stay at SLC Howard Johnson. The room was clean which is SO important to me and the free airport shuttle and continental breakfast were great!

Great Location

This hotel is ok. It was a little pricey for the shape the hotel is in but it just one block from the Energy Solutions Arena so it was worth the money to be able to walk. We could hear the people next door too well and the sheets kept coming off the corners of the bed.

A few things

I was not aware there would only be a shower and not a shower/bath. The bed was fine, but the pillows were terrible, lumpy and useless. Also, there was not a great selection of channels to choose from. We never could log on to our "free" wireless internet, but there was a computer in the lounge area. However, when we went to use it, the man at the front desk made it incredibly awkward by talking loudly on his cell phone with his wife, asking her continuously if she wanted a divorce. We left the area quickly. The complimentary breakfast was adequate at best. Overall, if you need the bare minimum for a place to stay, this would be fine. It was clean, and our room was cleaned every day.

Tiny showers

The hotel was good, but in our room they only had a TINY shower. I have two children and it was very hard for us to bath.

Good room for the money

The hotel service was not stellar, but we were comfortable the majority of the time. Several times we left and came back to find our room with the bed still unmade and no clean towels. Other than that, it was comfortable enough. Continental breakfast was not extremely imaginative but it did the job. Desk service was fine, but no one was overly welcoming.

Great Location

Location is great for downtown activities, but it definitely needs a facelift

OVERALL, IT WAS ALRIGHT

I WANTED A PLACE WITH A POOL, CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST AND BE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF ENERGY SOLUTIONS ARENA, SO THAT WAS GOOD, BUT THE QUALITY OF THE ROOM WASN'T WORTH WHAT I PAID. SMELLED LIKE CIGARETTE SMOKE, LIGHTS ABOVE SINK DIDN'T WORK HALF OF THE TIME AND A/C WOULD GO ON AND OFF SPORADICALLY, DESPITE THE TEMPERATURE SETTING. OVERALL, IT WAS ALRIGHT.

Needs Improvement

The location of the hotel is good. It's just a walking distance to the convention center. Breakfast is good. The customer center is good. The room has a noisy air conditioner and stops after a few minutes.
