Hampton Inn Salt Lake City Cottonwood UT
Great location close to both the Cottonwood Canyons and some local businesses, along with a beautiful Mountain View. Nice pool/hot tub and fitness room. Standard 2 bed room was a little tight and parking completely filled up.

When I pulled back the bedsheets it was obvious that the linens had not been changed. There was a long black hair and several black specks of something on the bottom sheet. Gross. I will say though that the manager quickly changed the linens for me after I brought it to her attention.
