Crystal Inn Hotel & Suites Salt Lake City
Michael and his crew were terrific! The room was wonderful, large, clean and the breakfast was tasty. I noticed some folks mentioned it was in a scary part of town but I found that not to be true. It was 2 blocks from the Squatter’s Brewery and many other excellent restaurants. I would stay here ...
