Located on South Main Street, this hotel puts you about five minutes’ drive from major entertainment venues and the Salt Palace Convention Center. The vibe is laid-back and practical, perfect for music lovers looking for a no-fuss home base.

Why Concert-goers love it

With its easy access to Salt Lake City’s top venues and a quick 15-minute drive from the airport, this hotel is a smart pick for fans flying in for a show. The hotel’s quiet, residential-adjacent location helps you wind down after a night of live music, and the 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins a breeze.

Solo travelers chasing their bucket-list artist
Couples looking to pair music with a mini-getaway
Fans seeking a quiet recovery zone after the encore
Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, each room comes with a refrigerator and coffee maker, and several local diners and fast-casual spots are within walking distance. You'll find late-night bites close by, and the front desk staff can point you to the best spots open after midnight. No breakfast buffet here, but nearby cafés open mid-morning to help you recover from late nights.

Nightlife Options

You're just minutes from Salt Lake City’s growing bar and lounge scene. Whether you're into live music bars, craft cocktail lounges, or laid-back pubs, you'll find options a short Uber or Lyft ride away. While the hotel itself doesn’t host live events, its central location means you’re never far from the action.

What People Say

Guests consistently mention the hotel’s great value and friendly staff. Travelers love the easy parking, quiet rooms, and the convenience of being close to both the airport and downtown venues. Many reviews highlight the cleanliness of the rooms and the reliable WiFi, perfect for streaming or planning your evening out.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is a bit older and could use a few updates. The seasonal outdoor pool is a plus—but only available in warmer months. Also, while the location is central, it’s best to have a car or rideshare app handy, especially late at night.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for a budget-friendly, comfortable crash pad close to downtown Salt Lake City, SureStay by Best Western hits all the right notes.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

Julie E, Salt Lake City

It was loud and drug infested. There was only a sheet and the bed cover, no blanket at all. The water temperature was way too hot and burnt a hand. Mold in the shower. Towels were too small, only had one wash cloth in the motel. Pretty sure there was prostitutes hanging outside our room. We had to put in ear plugs and turn on the fan to drown them out. Will never stay there again. Almost went somewhere else all together.

Liked: The employees were nice.
Disliked: Was not impressed with this location

Don't go here

Liked: Breakfast was okay
Disliked: The gentleman at front desk was very rude. Tried to say I had guest and that ppl was asking for my room. I don't even know anyone in this city, the price was well overcharged for the type or place. 2 star hotel $50-70 I was charged $115 ..

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Holly Fri, 20 June 2025

Disappointing

Liked: Front desk worker was very nice and friendly. The pool was nice. The coffee in the room was nice. The beds were clean and pillow comfortable
Disliked: The shower had a ball of hair stuck to the wall. The room was cramped. Worker poured chlorine while we were in the pool which was not nice. Scary area with drug addicts making strange noises on the sidewalks. Creepy.

give me a break

Liked: I liked that I only had to stay one night
Disliked: I didn't like that the office manager pretended he didn't know what decaffeinated coffee was and I didn't like that the office manager pretended that he didn't speak English, I didn't like that the inside of the front door was covered with black mold . I didn't like that there was no walk way to the room and that I had to step over unkept shrubbery to access the door.

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Melly-lou Mon, 16 June 2025

Good size room, Shame about...

Liked: Decent size room, the pool looked inviting right opposite us but wasn't available to use, I booked the hotel wanting to swim, no where on the website did it state that it was open seasonally, I missed swimming by a week grrrr, it was hot in SLC
Disliked: The location was not good, it's next door to public housing facility, homeless people loitering along the footpath and we attempted to cross the road but noticed more grotty people ther too,Not the best choice if you are planning going into the city, stay closer in cbd, so you don't have to walk or catch bus or train,
