This gets 5 stars for its value.

1. Free wifi
2. $54/night
3. Suite rooms available.
4. Decent continental breakfast (hard-boiled eggs, waffles, cereals, toasts, etc)

We grabbed two connected rooms for the comfort for less than a single room at a "nice" hotel.

The pool was closed. Ok. We had to get a TV replaced. Ok. But we paid $54/night! Seriously a great deal. The hotel was a little old but nothing unlivable. Would stay here again for sure if we ever got stranded in Green River again. lol

This is a really nice hotel but for the price it was just ok. The bed really wasn't any better than a mediocre motel.

Some cool stuff:

1. Free wifi...in the lobby. Well, at least there is some free wifi somewhere.

2. A very cool safe in each room

3. Some rooms equipped with weight systems for people to workout right in their room.

4. Flat-screen TV.

5. Comfy bed.

Some not-so cool stuff:

1. One soap bar for two adults...very tacky. Shower and use the same soap for your hands at the sink...

2. WiFi in the room is priced per night or half-hour

Hale Center Theater Orem

Categories: Performing Arts, Costumes, Art Schools

10/16/2008 First to Review

This place always entertains. We went even to some shows we had never heard of and were pleasantly surprised. The acting is really quite good considering a local playhouse.

This is theater-in-the-round so there is very limited seating but each seat is a good one (except maybe in the corners).

Tip: Don't miss a chance to see Christmas Carol in December, a seasonal tradition.

Cocolito's

Cocolito's has a great atmosphere and good service. They bring out great corn chips with mild sauce that is delicious. One other cool thing about this place: sign up with your birthday and you get a $10 gift certificate on any dish.

My recommendation: Try the fajitas.

Red Lobster

Decent food and an okay atmosphere. I gave this four stars because of the service here. Our waiter made some mistakes but each server was very accommodating. In fact, one even took a lobster out of the tank to let our 3 year-old touch and see it. It was a cool moment.

The other nice thing about this place is the location. Right off of the freeway. We came up from the south, but this is also a good spot for meeting anyone on their way out to the airport (just get onto I-215 and go west).

Hogle Zoo

Zoos are tough for me. I am excited when we have animals that could otherwise not survive, I guess. Anyway, this one wasn't too depressing. A cheetah, tiger, bear, elephants, giraffes, and all kinds of monkeys, this is a fun one.
Besides the wide assortment of animals, I was pleased with the amount of places to sit and eat.

Tip:

Go early; we went close to opening on a Saturday with plenty of parking and short lines. When we left around 10:30a it was a lot busier. Also, in the summer I imagine it is probably pretty hot. There is a lot of shade in some parts, but others are totally open.

Les Schwab Tire Center

Category: Tires

9/20/2008 2 photos First to Review

This was a pretty good experience. The staff was helpful, one guy in particular, and the work was good. My estimate for an alignment was 2 hours and they finished and I drove off in under 50 minutes; not bad for an alignment.

Cool stuff: really nice waiting area with lots of chairs, vending machines and even popcorn.
Good prices for services; tires may be the same way...not sure.

Inside tips:
1. Go early. Tried to go around 3pm on a Saturday and they were booked the rest of the night. Next week I went in at 9am with no problem.

2. Staples has free wifi and you can tap into it from here (the signal might be weak though). Bring a laptop and get some work/play done while you wait.

3. Warning: the strong tire smell started getting to me about the time I left (50 mins). Anyone sensitive to smells will probably want to do some other shopping in the area while they wait for their car to get done.

Salt Lake City International Airport

Category: Airports

9/20/2008

This airport is alright. With most of it so spread out, there is not a lot of open space. Mostly narrow hallways for people to get from point A to point B. It really feels cramped and rushed compared to some other airports. As a result, you will find random seating really out in the middle of nowhere, too far from food or boarding gates to be really useful.

For people who are bored, there is a hotspot here from Boingo but it isn't free (boo).

One nice thing, if you have little kids they have a small play area that is 3/4 enclosed. Might help for short layovers.

Wonderful facility with a great staff and extensive collections.

The HBLL has specialist librarians for soft and hard sciences and the humanities. Come for research help, research materials, art exhibits, lectures, quiet study, collaborative study, or whatever.

This is a great library. The natural lighting makes the library more welcoming and less intimidating. There is a lot of computer terminals but also just study desks with outlets for laptop users. The library is also very clean inside with light wood everywhere contributing to the bright atmosphere.

Unlike some libraries, PCCSL has an open media collection for browsing. Very nice.

Soft chairs, quiet study areas, and group study rooms all near large windows are perfect for anyone who just wants to study in a comfortable environment.
