Motel 6 Salt Lake City West - Airport

Excellent, helpful staff, great location for public transit

I love how this motel is right near a tram stop. At check-in, the man at the desk -- I think his name was Mark -- was friendly and helpful. Since I had arrived by public transit, I needed to locate a restaurant I could reach on foot. He told me exactly how to walk to the nearest family-dining restaurant.The motel is also within easy walking distance (about a half-mile) of many fast-food restaurants, a 7-Eleven, and an independently owned convenience store. The only time I needed a cab was when I left for the airport at 3:30 a.m. During usual day/evening hours, the tram goes to the airport.

The faucet in the bathroom had been installed incorrectly so that turning the one-handle faucet to the right produced hot water and turning it to the left produced cold water. I coped, but it was confusing. Also, every time people walked past my second-floor room, I could hear and feel the walkway shaking. Sometimes it felt like a small earthquake. This must be some structural fault.
