Asher Adams, Autograph Collection

Great place

Great location, cool building and everything is well maintained. Staff was friendly and helpful.

The Asher Adams, Autograph Collection is a decent place to stay in Salt Lake City. This hotel is located in the historic Salt Lake City Union Pacific Depot that once served as the Amtrak station in SLC. It now has a nice shopping area behind the hotel called the Gateway. As for the hotel itself, the rooms are nice and quiet. The elevators operate pretty quickly and efficiently. It did take me a minute or two to get hot water in the bathroom sink and shower and the configuration of the toilet and shower are in different stalls and are not situated together in one bathroom as is standard in most hotels. That may not be to everybody's liking. The hotel also lacks a convenience store or vending machines but it does have a good coffee shop as well as two restaurants, a bar and a gym. However, if you're looking for a pool, you'll want to stay elsewhere. There maybe better places to stay in SLC or Utah in general, but you wouldn't go wrong staying at Asher Adams especially if you want to be in close proximity to the Delta Center which is right across the street.

We booked this hotel because: 1. It was convenient to the Days of 47 rodeo grounds 2. It was convenient to sites in downtown Salt Lake City 3. It was convenient to public transportation 4. It came VERY highly rated This is a new (2024) hotel that is adjacent to and a part of the old Union Pacific Railroad Station. A cool old station that opened in 1909 with high ceilings, murals at the end, stained glass windows (railroad themed), a bar and check-in. The staff was first rate; friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The hotel portion is semi-circular with slightly curved room walls (which I liked). Unfortunately, our room overlooked the station, so our view was non-existent. The room is on the larger side of most hotels, with a couch, king size bed, closet and chest of drawers. The bathroom was it's own separate area. Walk in and a night light illuminated under the single sink. Large shower and a separate toilet room finished it off. Standard amenities (soap, lotion, shower supplies) were included and thick towels! The bed was very comfortable! The room was very clean (as should be expected for the cost). The bad: south of the hotel are a lot of homeless people (which surprised me). They kept to themselves, but something to be aware of at night. The bathroom is all black, including the light switches - hard to see The restaurant/bar don't take cash. Parking - expensive valet or you walk a block to public. Overall - a great hotel!
