Scene
Cheerful, modern lobby in a chain hotel
Housed within the familiar Hampton Inn bland concrete facade, this mid-rise hotel features an updated lobby with wood-look tile floors, modular sofas, and retro-inspired accents such as pendant lighting over a communal bar table and a bold orange reception desk. The adjacent breakfast buffet area, tiled in an oversized checkerboard pattern, features long countertop buffets on both sides that hold toasters, waffle makers, juices, and cold cereals. Monochrome photos of friendly pets and nature scenes adorn the public areas. Natural light floods the attractive indoor pool and hot tub from floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook a parking lot. Guests are a mix of business and leisure travelers looking for low rates in downtown Salt Lake City.

Rooms
Bright, contemporary rooms with open closets and nice bathrooms
There are numerous room configurations from which to choose, but all are bright and comfortable, with soothing neutral color schemes enlivened by geometric patterns in carpets, curtains, and bedspreads. Light wood furniture, chrome reading lamps, and floating upholstered headboards add to the clean, airy feel. In an apparent effort to expand floor space, many rooms have hanging bars and shelves hidden by drapes rather than actual closets. Contemporary barn-style sliding doors in some rooms open to bright, clean bathrooms with white tile and small vanity areas. Notable amenities include comfortable beds, mini-fridges, large flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms have boring parking lot views.
