“Great Historic Comfort!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 8, 2012

This hotel is beautiful and historic! The lobby is wonderful. The elevators have that historic yet slightly afraid they will break down charm. The front desk staff is always friendly. The views are amazing! The hotel sits in the only good part of Ogden (its downtown) and is in walking distance to everything that is anything in Ogden. The rooms are very large. We stayed in a suite and it is HUGE! The regular rooms are a good size too. The furnishings are dated but still stately. The beds are very comfortable. The haunting stories are fun and rather harmless. Your stay comes with a great breakfast in the beautiful lobby and all this for very reasonable rates. Really the only complaint is that in the summer the hotel hallways are VERY warm. The rooms have air conditioning and have be whatever temperature you desire but the hallways are warm.

Room Tip: Choose one that faces west for a great view!

Thank you for the nice review. I'm glad you enjoyed some of my favorite features of Ben Lomond Suites; the history, great location and large rooms. I'm also happy that you found the elevators charming and the haunting stories entertaining. In the three years I've been at Ben Lomond Suites the elevators' have entertained me with their quirky personalities, but have never tried to keep me with them. The hallways do get a bit warm on hot days in the summer but luckily Ogden only has a few hot days and the ACs in the rooms work great. Thanks again for the review.

“Beautiful and Historic”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 25, 2012

I really couldn't have asked for more from the Ben Lomond. First off the lobby area is simply stunning. It is a genuine grand hotel. It was a great change from the Days Inn type places we normally stay. The rooms were very big and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The staff was great and the breakfast was much better than I had expected.

A bonus: Allegedly this place is haunted, so that aspect was pretty cool,

“Quite superb”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 16, 2012

Ogden is a pleasant place to stay and if in the area I would urge you to consider accommodation at the Ben Lomond Suites.

During our tour of the US we stayed at 17 different hotels and I have to say this was my personal favourite. We walked into our room and immediately thought 'Wow' simply because of the size of the place. Our accommodation comprised of a very large lounge area with comfortable seating and a good-size television. The bedroom was also of a decent size with a lovely big bed that was extremely comfortable and afforded a splendid night's sleep. There was a small kitchenette and the bathroom contained a jacuzzi which was quite wonderful after a hard day of driving. Everything was spotlessly clean and the room was faultless in every way. As a bonus, the hotel is centrally located, easy to find and provides secure underground parking.

We thought breakfast was 'okay' although nothing special, but that is a small point considering the quality of the accommodation. Not only is this a superb hotel but we considered it to be one of the best 'value for money' places we have ever stayed at.. We really can't praise this hotel enough and thoroughly recommend it to anyone thinking of staying in the Ogden area.

Thank you for taking the time to review our historic hotel, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We are the only all suite hotel in downtown Ogden and as you noticed our rooms are much larger than other hotels. We are also glad to hear you had a good night's sleep, that's what we strive for. We would love to hear what we can add to breakfast to make it "great" instead of just "okay", if you have time shoot us an email with your ideas.

Thanks again for you nice review.

Have a Great Day!

“Lovely Place to Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 12, 2012

This is really my kind of hotel. I love older hotels and search them out. That often comes with learning to deal with older facilities and not being surprised by the accommodations. I really loved this hotel. The outside facade and interior main areas are stunning. The views from the windows are really nice. The rooms are big, and the one point that always makes it or breaks it for me: the bedding is super comfortable. It was quiet. It was clean.
The downsides of this hotel, as previously mentioned, the bathrooms are furniture isn't so much antique as it is just dated. It felt a little like staying in Grandma's apartment circa 1985. That's not a bad thing, it just is what it is. The hallways are also a bit confusing as you get off the elevators.
Overall I would love to stay here again. The price can't be beat and I'm almost afraid one day they will renovate the bathrooms and furniture and so on and then it will be a $400 a night "boutique" hotel. Alas.

Thank you for the review. Ben Lomond Suites is a beautiful historic hotel and we love it when our guests' enjoy our history as much as we do. We are hoping to be able to update the bathrooms in the next year or so. We wish we could fill Ben Lomond Suites at $400 a night, but do not plan to realize that dream in the near future. Thanks again for the nice review.

Have a great day!

“Benny Low”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012

I want to like this hotel. Second time I've stayed here, it's probably 5+ years since my last stay on business. Overnight family trip this time. Picked it for the huge rooms. Got the double queen in a newly "updated" room. Beds were great. Flat screen tv in bedroom, old style small tube tv in living room. Pretty clean room and property. Breakfast was good with attentive staff. The bad. Room, bathroom, wallpaper, and furniture outdated and worn out. Properties can be old and fantastic, unfortunately our newly updated room was in need of another update. New bathrooms, new fixtures would help a lot.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are glad you enjoyed breakfast. We have some of the largest rooms in town and as you stated they are great for families. If you are traveling with teens we even have two bedroom, two bath suites that give you even more room. Updating the bathrooms is the next item on our list of renovations for our beautiful historic hotel. Thank you again for the review.
