The sheets and pillows were in this room were dirty and there were hairs throughout the bathroom. The bed was comfortable and is in a nice downtown location. The staff seemed lost in a way as if they were trying to reading off a script in talking to me or handling the dirty issues. The internet is free and the... More

Nice Room. Very Comfy Bed and bedding. View of the surrounding snow-capped mountains (April, 2013) was uplifting and wonderful! Each room has large ceiling-floor windows/sealed door to small balcony (not in use). Staff was very hospitable and accomodating. There is a huge parking lot with ample room for cars, large vehicles, etc. Quiet room. Easy to drive around Salt Lake... More

The Red Lion is a few blocks from the main hub of SLC but they make up for that by offering a free shuttle service which got me everywhere I needed to go. This is especially comforting when out at night. The hotel is on the fringe area between dense downtown businesses/shopping and the residential downtown. There are some rooms... More

I recommend a higher floor to get away from street noise. Furnishings are funny and I am glad they put their money where it counts (comfy beds with good linens) if they are going super cheap on furnishings like lamps, chairs, carpet. If those things other you, look elsewhere... but this place provides a good nights rest in a good... More
