Peekaboo Trailhead

Staff were friendly and attentive at all hours

We booked this hotel because: 1. It was convenient to the Days of 47 rodeo grounds 2. It was convenient to sites in downtown Salt Lake City 3. It was convenient to public transportation 4. It came VERY highly rated This is a new (2024) hotel that is adjacent to and a part of the old Union Pacific Railroad Station. A cool old station that opened in 1909 with high ceilings, murals at the end, stained glass windows (railroad themed), a bar and check-in. The staff was first rate; friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The hotel portion is semi-circular with slightly curved room walls (which I liked). Unfortunately, our room overlooked the station, so our view was non-existent. The room is on the larger side of most hotels, with a couch, king size bed, closet and chest of drawers. The bathroom was it's own separate area. Walk in and a night light illuminated under the single sink. Large shower and a separate toilet room finished it off. Standard amenities (soap, lotion, shower supplies) were included and thick towels! The bed was very comfortable! The room was very clean (as should be expected for the cost). The bad: south of the hotel are a lot of homeless people (which surprised me). They kept to themselves, but something to be aware of at night. The bathroom is all black, including the light switches - hard to see The restaurant/bar don't take cash. Parking - expensive valet or you walk a block to public. Overall - a great hotel!

The room I finally received was sort of clean. The first room they gave me wasn't even cleaned yet. The beds had clean sheets, the floor was semi clean. They tried to give nice soap but it was a Mango soap and I'm allergic to Mango. But, you're in a SLC go buy some soap. lol The shades on the window was broken but my son fixed those. Their room didn't have the door guard lock on it. They ended up shoving the table and chairs against their door. Their window had hand prints on them that made you think someone was trying to get in. We stayed 2 nights since it was inexpensive and more or less clean. The first morning there was a police officer in the parking lot. That was comforting! It's just a cheap hotel with bare but semi clean rooms and the shower had almost no pressure. You get what you pay for.
