A golfing buddy is quite poorly, and I'm looking to get over there to see him.

Anyone been there? Any recommendations for hotels?
 
Not sure if anyone else can help but spent a few weeks there 15 yrs ago as a base for the numerous ski areas nearby. Stayed in cheap hostels though!
Place is very pleasant if a little sterile, in that regard I'd stay centrally nr downtown or between airport and downtown. I don't think there are any bad/dangerous neighbourhoods in SLC.
Bit odd if you want a drink, someone already inside has to sponsor you into a bar, beer and wine ok, liquor a bit of a no-no. Well thats how it was when I was there. Polygamy still going strong too. Like Vegas there is a zero tolerance to homelessness/beggars/littering, city kept very ordered and tidy by the Mormons running it.

re hotels I'd think they'll all be of a fair standard. City probably wouldn't allow dives, its a bit like that. I suppose your budget per night is key.
