We had never stayed at a Red Lion before so we didn't know what to expect. I guess we were thinking more Red Roof, but the hotel turned out to be clean and actually very nice....it's sort of like a rabbit warren inside to maneuver, but once you get it, you are okay. We stayed here as an organized tour-chosen... More

I only stayed for one night. Room was clean. Linens were fine. Ate at the diner in the hotel and the food was good. Nothing spectacular going on at this hotel but it is a good location, friendly staff, walkable to sites.

Was a nice quiet location not to far from the main tourist attractions for my wife and I on a trip through SLC. We had to catch a flight on our way to Florida and had a night to rest up first in SLC. The hotel was very clean, and welcoming. Nice bar on the top floor it looked like... More

First time staying here a little disapointed in the condition of the room. Broken closet doors, many of the outlets didn't work, sink got backed up. I will add that the jacuzzi was good after a day of snowboarding. Wouldn't be my first choice

My wife and I stayed one night (February 29, 2012). I booked it via the 'name your price' feature of Priceline. I bid $50, which I admit is a low price BUT I selected a 3 star or better hotel for a week-day Night. Priceline came up with the Red Lion. From photos on the internet, the place looked good.... More

I stayed here for 3 days while attending a Conference. I choose this hotel based on the Reviews and I was not disappointed. While the physical building is a little tired the rooms are well appointed. Yes the drapes and curtains need to be replaced, but the bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. Admittedly the property is... More

It's cheap, has a huge hot tub, good TV's and beds. I've stayed here many times as a great centrally located ski hotel. There is plenty of free parking and pretty good nightlife within a few blocks.

Dear Guest, Yes, we agree that our Liquor Laws in Utah are a bit challenging and inconvenient, but there is no excuse for a noisy heating system, and for this I apologize. Please trust that we will use your comments to better ourselves and our hotel (we have just completed upgrading the heating and A/C units in all the rooms),... More

A mixed experience here. Not a bad option for the price. Walking distance to the convention center, quiet in the room. Getting toward the edge ofwhat looks like a dodgy part of town, so not sure I would walk around after dark. We had our car broken into while there, so recommend that you make sure to take all valuables... More

First of all, the advertising is out-of-date. The restaurant on the 13th floor closed last year. They still include it on their website, and also in the in-room information binder. The carpet, drapes and wallpaper have had it, and the entire facility needs a major overhaul. I used the stairs to get to our room (the stairwell reeks of cigarettes,... More

Can"t believe guests are denied a glass of wine in their room at this hotel. Some weird hotel liquor license issue. If your a teetotaler you will be right at home, For a weary NY mom who just traveled 12 hours with lost baggage, I am jumping ship. Heating system sounds like a truck idling in my room, vent is...
