This was a very strange experience. I expected the weird downtown setting; for what we paid, I expected things like the wallpaper peeling in the bathroom and the door that looked like someone was slammed into it. But I had no expectation that we would be required to provide a Cash deposit for our stay. I’ve never had a hotel/motel REQUIRE cash for the deposit. We then had to wait for them to check the room at the end of our stay so we could get our cash back. It was all strange.

Check-in was terrible. First, my reservation had been cancelled and I didn't do it. Second, I asked if I could check-in early and they said it would cost $25. Do I came back later and had to rebook thru the website to get a room.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean and comfy, and the staff was general friendly and helpful. However, when checking in, they insisted on a $100 CASH deposit. This was never mentioned in the booking information or the confirmation. They claimed it was much easier than a credit card deposit and that we could get cash at the ATM in their lobby, which I'm sure they get a kickback from and charges fees to use. Luckily, we had enough cash so didn't have to use it. That whole interaction seemed very shady to me.

Shower was very dirty, the showers in jails are cleaner. Was never notified that the security deposit was CASH ONLY which cost me an extra $7 in ATM fees to get. Card key to the room sometimes didn’t work. Sample picture of the room on the website was vague and made it look better than it really was. I severely regret not spending the extra money to get a better hotel.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The only reason i gave 4 stars is because i would have liked brighter lights in the room. The room was very clean and the staff was really nice. There aren't a lot if amenities but I wasn't concerned with that. I was just looking for a clean, safe place to stay for a weekend trip.

We visited SLC for a concert and because of some last minute fall-throughs we needed to book a hotel at the last minute. We chose this one because it was cheap and near downtown. It’s a rundown crappy motel and we definitely saw some “late night” lady workers going into hotel rooms, so definitely not family friendly. Rooms are a little nasty too.

The price is right.
This was not my first stay at the Metropolitan. I choose this motel for the price and the convenience of being able to walk to the Salt Palace. This year the motel seemed more rundown than last year, the mattresses were new and comfortable last year, but lumpy and hard this year. Housekeeping does a great job with what they have to work with. It's still a great value, and I wouldn't hesitate to return.
