Homewood Suites by Hilton Salt Lake City Airport
When I got to the front desk the clerk wasn’t there and had a sign that said the clerk stepped sway and will be back in a little while . After that long kind of scary drive thats the last thing I wanted to see. But the clerk was kind so it really wasn’t a big deal. The room is perfect!
