This "hotel" is very convenient, as it is on the upper campus of the University of Utah. Very convenient for parents of students matriculating here, or for family members of people having procedures at the University of Utah Medical Center. Our first room was on the first floor and it had an air conditioner that rattled all night long. The second night I requested a room with a quieter air conditioner, and they put us in a room on the second floor that was much quieter. There was plenty of parking, and as I said, very convenient if you need to be at the University. They included a breakfast, which was actually pretty decent. Many places that include breakfast neglect to include any protein, but the University Guest House had an egg omelet and either bacon or sausages, along with carbs like bagels, muffins, and waffles. They also had yogurt. Alas, there was no fruit, such as bananas or apples, so I had to take their little containers of fruit cocktail as a substitute. They had juice, Starbucks coffee (including decaf) and hot water with tea bags. All in all, a pretty good place for the price. Sadly, I was told that after the fall semester, the university is turning this into a dorm. On the other hand, this university is horribly short of on-campus housing, so a new dorm is probably a good thing.

Six stars if that were possible! This place is just great, comfy rooms, friendly staff, and a great location a little out of the way of the hustle and bustle. Second time here, would not stay anywhere else in SLC. Well, maybe Little America, but this is our number one preference.

We've stayed at the University Guest House three times since last August. Each visit was a wonderful experience with friendly staff, clean rooms and convenient location which can't be beat if you are visiting your student or have other business at the university. The rooms vary in size and location, but each standard room has a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker and plenty of USB ports for charging.Because of the timing of our visits with the Covid 19 pandemic, I will include that we felt very safe with the staff wearing masks, room cleaning requests are dealt with magnetic signs and the non-contact breakfast buffet is easily managed with a form filled "grab and go" system which is quick and easy!Our rooms have been located in different wings in different locations of the wings and we have not had any issues with noise or any features of the room, that being said some window views are better than others. A small but interesting feature is that each room has a hairdryer prominently displayed which has a built in adjustable nightlight! We typically bring one on trips but don't have to when we stay here. There is a convenience store style pantry near the front desk where items can be charged to your room, free university wifi connection is readily available and the hotel's location makes it easy to access the campus, especially with the Eccles Legacy Bridge just out the door. As an added bonus, the Bonneville-Shoreline trail is nearby in the hills behind the campus and is an easy climb to see some beautiful sunsets over Salt Lake City!Definitely stay here if you have campus business, but the easy access to the area makes it a great place to stay even if you don't!
