evo Hotel Salt Lake City

Very good

Liked: Industrial style, sporty and good value
Disliked: No window in my room

Will hopefully return it’s a...

Liked: I liked everything! I would add an icemaker on the room levels independent of getting it from the front desk, cafe or bar. It would be easier for everyone. Loved that you had coffee onsite!Great shopping! Very interesting neighborhood industrial and clearly up and coming!
Disliked: No specific area for dogs to do their business Would prefer the parking area was not gravel but paved at some point

Fix the parking

Liked: The property was very nice, modern, and really captured the outdoorsy vibes of Salt Lake City.
Disliked: The parking is atrocious. There is no hotel specific parking, only street parking. It was bad to begin with and one night there was a concert down the street and the parking was all taken by attendees. We spent 45 minutes looking for parking and ended up having to park 6 blocks away. When I confronted the front desk person she basically said I know but that’s just how it is. I have never had such a terrible parking situation at a hotel and they really should have designated parking, especially if there is an event nearby.

Dangerous neighborhood! Check SLC crime...

Liked: Bouldering gym was fun although crowded
Disliked: Our car window was smashed in and luggage stolen while we were parked in the street parking overnight for the hotel. We were not informed this is a very bad area and the security is extremely lacking. No other parking option is available so if you stay here, you are taking your chances that your car will be broken into or stolen. The hotel website advertises many amenities, which were fun to use, but not worth the $2000 in rental car damage or $1000 stolen items.

Exceptional

Liked: The hotel had great amenities (climbing hall, gym, group fitness classes, coffee shop and rooftop bar). The staff were helpful and friendly. I would stay in an Evo Hotel again.
Disliked: All was excellent.

Good premises, some issues

Liked: It's a modern, clean hotel with ample space everywhere. The room was spacious, but like some others have said, the room descriptions and types on Booking don't match with the website. I thought we were getting a room with windows, but did not. However, the size didn't match with the rooms without windows on the website. So those details should be looked into. For those that are into these type of sports, there's a climbing wall and a skate park at the premises. There used to be an outdoor store next to the hotel, but it was closing when we visited.The rooftop bar was a nice touch, though we only learnt about it on our second night (at first we had the impression the bar was just an indoor space).
Disliked: The staff seemed a little inconvenienced by customers. One of the staff let us know during check-in that she wasn't even supposed to be on duty anymore, but she was helping out. Okay? I think that's something to keep amongst the staff, not share with customers.The person working the cafe downstairs was someone we thought was badly hungover on our first morning when serving customers, but turns out she behaved the same way the next day, too, so it probably wasn't a hangover but just someone who avoids communication and eye contact. However, she got us out coffees and breakfast just fine, so I suppose that's the main thing. Just very unusual service in the U.S. As far as the location, it's not such a bad walk downtown, and there are breweries and a food hall nearby, but the parking space was an issue when the area around the hotel has some sketchier streets. We parked just round the corner on another street, and as we were leaving, we found one of the car windows smashed and a car GPS stolen from there. The previous day we did see some homeless people occupying the sidewalk on that street. They didn't bother us, but stuff does happen there during the night!

Superb
