Hotel Azure

Hotel Azure

10/10 Excellent

"The property was slightly older, very well maintained and clean. Daily room service. The pool and hot tubs were both very clean and never crowded. The best part is the view is excellent! Choose the lake view! Close to lots of shops and restaurants. Right across the road from a small lake access! Would recommend, we will be back."

The Americana Village

The Americana Village

10/10 Excellent

"I love this place! It’s quaint and older but in a cute well maintained way. I go to slt to visit my son in college pretty regularly and I have not had great luck with the less expensive hotels in town. But I think I found my spot here. Pool hot tub and sauna were a big plus. They seem very well staffed and are really friendly. The shower was a double header, rooms were big suites with kitchenettes well stocked with pots pans and dishes. My only gripe is there’s a coffee maker but no coffee is provided but it’s available in the breakfast room"
