Spiking Tourist Lodge

The rooms are overall pretty spacious. I’m actually quite impressed but they are dirty and I mean pretty gritty dirty. It took me two or three days to get the whole place to where I felt. It was actually clean and it looks a lot different. I don’t know if they have a person that cleans units after people leave or they just leave them, the kitchen area was wasn’t too bad but pretty bad the toilet the restroom it took me a whole day to scrub the restroom to get it clean, the carpets in here are pretty dirty. I need to be steam cleaned or ripped out when I took apart the air conditioning Screen out of it because when I turned on my blue dirt at me, it hadn’t been cleaned in a good I wanna see a year. The blinds were quite bad. There’s one cyber just completely just covered in dirt window. See

Owner is very polite and respectful. Had a leak in the restroom in one room and he offered to fix it or take a different room. We happily took a different room so he wouldn't be rushed to repair the leak as he was already busy. The rooms are nice and clean. Has a stove. Full size refrigerator and kitchen sink. A television with DirecTV. (all regular channels plus HBO. Not just a select few channels like at other places for the same price.) Great for extended stays. Great weekly rates for the room and amenities.

I stayed here for about a week in early April. For the most part, it was comfortable, quiet, and conveniently located about half a block from a grocery store. It was the cheapest motel in town at $176.00 per week. The Wi Fi didn't work because their network is only designed to work with the 'N' band instead of 802.11 g/b. Cheap laundry facilities that are available 24/7, and well maintained. The whole hotel was fairly smoke free. They did have mental fruitcakes that checked including a next door neighbor, who slammed every door he opened, I think he might have been mentally disturbed. So I checked out and went to a quieter and more secure hotel. Overall though, it's the best of the cheap motels on state street. I would defiantly use this motel as an over night stay again. Just bring som

Stayed here for a couple of weeks. Giving 1 star because it was very quiet. However, I left because I felt like they were slumlords and the whole place was very DIRTY! Also there are racist people that live there, who the manager "LOVES" having there! He said he will watch you to make sure you are "Alright." HE introduced me to him and he literally looked at me like I was SCUM and turned his head the other way and put his nose in the air! Then he told his wife she met such and such. She shot him a dirty look basically saying why would you introduce her to him. Smh! All that money I was paying weekly my stove should have worked. I told the manager cousin my stove didnt work he said, "oh we will put it on the list." I said okay approximately how long until its fixed. He said nonchalantly "a

I was in between homes for about 2 years during which time I stayed in several hotels in the downtown Salt Lake City area and one of my favorites is the Spiking Tourist Lodge. It is not even in the same class as the other small State Street motels. It is always clean and quiet. The staff are always friendly and helpful. There's no drama to deal with unlike other motels in the area. At this motel you could feel safe bringing your children for a family stay or if privacy and indiscretion is what your looking for you will find that at the Spiking. I give it 5 thumbs up.
