Hampton Inn & Suites Salt Lake City/University-Foothill Dr.

"Really nice location & very spacious rooms! The staff is wonderful. Great value!"

"Have you ever needed a root canal, a new phone plan, and a nice place to stay? Me neither! But that is what you get when you first approach this Hampton Inn. A newish-build shoved into a multi-purpose mall-esque configuration. The initial pull-up suggests a lack of parking, which is quickly revised when you notice a parking garage that is jammed into the right hand corner of the property (with ample, if cramped, parking for those who can't get a spot right next to the hotel). Part of the covered section was being used to store carpet for a recent refresh. But I never found parking a problem. The hotel lobby is quite lovely. A faux-fireplace. Ample seating. Coffee and tea service 24 hrs. a day (save when the pots are empty and the front desk staff don't refill them). Rooms are as expected, albeit with those yucky dispenser-style conditioner/shampoo/body wash tubes in the shower. Beds/pillows are comfortable. Heat/AC works well. Good wifi. Those I traveled with said the breakfast was good the first day, just so-so the next. Location was great for what we were doing (university-based with some sightseeing both downtown and in Draper). An older staff member was incredibly courteous when we had to check back into the hotel on account of flight cancellations. All in all, I'd stay here again without hesitation. And the price, considering prices these days, was great. ==================================== Some observations: those whining about the breakfast have to realize that that is, generally speaking, a great thing to have but never ever expected to be gourmet or consistent, right? And squawking about carbs? Are you serious? The walls are thin? Hmm. Have you heard of ear-plugs? Billing issues? They happen. Seems to me that the person responding to these sorts of complaints is bending over backwards to communicate with you about your issues. So, maybe, just maybe, you are uptight (esp. when compared to the overwhelmingly positive reviews by those who have stayed here)? Just an observation. One additional comment: the staff are great. They also seem, in some cases, to be a bit 'relaxed'. On check-in, a younger fellow greeted me with an oddly weary "Hello, gorgeous." I was flattered, given that I am a middle-aged man and not what I would consider 'gorgeous'. Others might not like that sort of nonchalance. On another occasion, coming back to the hotel in the evening, the staff were not at the desk. Where were they? Lying down on the couches in the lobby?!?! And, while they did greet me, I suspect (again) that some guests (see above) might not appreciate the casual vibe they give off. Just a minor suggestion that management might want to revisit some policies . . . or not. Again, didn't bother me one bit. ==================================== To reiterate: I recommend this hotel. It offers everything one would want. And, while some things might be hit-or-miss, it seems like the place is generally well run. You made a somewhat stressful four night (that was supposed to be two night) stay in Salt Lake City better."

"Stayed here again and breakfast was quite delicious, get it at 6am when it's the freshest. Relaxed in the jacuzzi which has a 15min timer and got some good rest. Try the suites, room 108 or 118 on the west wing, very spacious."

"Needed to stay close to the University Of Utah Hospital for 10 days while my daughter was admitted. Everyone was kind and helpful. Cannot say enough nice things about the staff."

"This is a wonderful hotel. The lobby is cozy and inviting. The complimentary breakfast was very good. There were just a bunch of little things that made this hotel stand out. The location is primo since it's across from a shopping center. I would stay there again."
