Welcome to Murray UT’s Pavilion Inn
http://www.slpavilioninn.com/
January 10th, 2009 my husband and I arrived in the evening at the Pavilion. We were greeted by a very friendly mature female receptionist. 24/7 coffee, tea, hot coco, and cookies are available at front desk. A warm buffet style breakfast is also include in price of room. Room rates for January were more than reasonable for clean sheets and towels.
Easy to find off the highway, however sharp corners and tight parking near the entrance of the hotel. The majority of the parking was located behind the building. This parking area was poorly plowed and sidewalks were frozen over with the daily melt and mounded snow. Not kept clear and safe by the hotel.
We were given a pet friendly room next to one of the back doors. The negative with these back doors that open to the main parking lot is that you cannot re-enter these doors unless you ‘jar’ the door open with your bag or a garbage can. Pavilion Inn does not have the room key swipes to open exterior doors. Most of the rooms are located at this far end.
Our room was spacious and it included a mini fridge. The windows were single pane and a constant draft was felt. This was hard for the small heater to keep up. There was a proper amount of towels and toiletries. The bedspread did not smell of dog. However due to the dark green carpet color, and the salt flat dust, I requested some old towels to put down on the floor.
The hotel is located in a business park area which provides plenty of places to walk the dogs.

Additionally, we did not see any place to walk to for dinner. Luckily I travel with cheese and crackers for back up snacks. The free breakfast, was good. However the scrambled eggs were rubbery.
This was our first time staying in the Salt Lake City vicinity. We prefer not to travel through the salt flats and highway 80 (50 is our preferred route to Colorado from California.). Too boring; too desolate – and that is the positive note. No place during that stretch to walk your dogs without getting that chalky salt all over their paws, interior of your vehicle, off your shoes. Dreadful.
This hotel, I felt, was worth staying at again… or so I thought, hence the Part 1 above. A second stay and review of this establishment will be posted during my June 2009 travels.
