During your Salt Lake City vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Family History Library
This incredible facility contains what is probably the world's largest collection of genealogical records under one roof. The growing collection is composed of a substantial number of records from around the United States, fairly comprehensive data from Scotland and England, and information from many other countries. Most of the records, which date from about 1550 to 1920, are from governments, various churches and other organizations, and individuals.The Mormons created such a huge genealogical library because they believe that families are united for eternity through marriage and other sacred ordinances given in the temples. These ordinances, such as baptism ceremonies, can be done on behalf of ancestors -- hence the interest in tracing all deceased family members.When you enter the library, help is available to assist with your research. There are forms you can fill out with any and all data you already know (so come prepared with copies of whatever you have), and you will be directed from there. An orientation is given to newcomers and includes a handout and a map of the library. Volunteers are stationed around the library to help with anything you need.Some of the records are in books, and many have been converted to microfilm, microfiche, and computer files. The volunteers will show you how to use any unfamiliar machines. One of the easiest ways to begin a search is to start with the place where your ancestors lived, because records are organized first by the geographical origin. From there, you can spend hours immersed in discovering the whos, whats, wheres, and whys of your family history -- we know, we did it!
This Is the Place Heritage Park
Brigham Young and the first wave of Mormon pioneers got their first glimpse of the Salt Lake Valley at the site of this historic park. A tall granite and bronze sculpture was erected in 1947 to commemorate the centennial of their arrival. The park, which covers more than 1,600 acres, offers hiking along part of the trail used by the pioneers, with opportunities for cross-country skiing in winter. This is a good place for wildlife viewing and birding in winter and spring, with additional songbirds and raptors present in summer and fall. There's a picnic area, but no camping, and a visitor center contains exhibits depicting the Mormon pioneers' trek from Illinois to the Great Salt Lake Valley in 1847. Allow 30 minutes.Also here, Old Deseret is a pioneer village comprised of original buildings from across the state along with some reproductions. In summer and during special events it becomes a living-history museum of the period from 1847 to 1869, with costumed villagers and a variety of demonstrations and activities, including wagon rides. Allow 1 to 2 hours. For a week each December the village becomes the setting of a pioneer Christmas celebration.
Joseph Smith Memorial Building
Formerly the historic Hotel Utah, this magnificent building has been renovated and converted into offices, meeting spaces, restaurants, and reception areas (it's very popular for wedding receptions). Between 1911 and 1987, this was a world-renowned hotel; the lobby retains its art-glass ceiling and massive marble pillars, and the architectural details have been lovingly restored throughout. It's worth a stop for a peek inside.There are 200 computers in the FamilySearch Center (tel. 801/240-4383), and a staff to help with your genealogical research. A big-screen 500-seat theater offers free (but ticket required, call tel. 801/240-4383 for schedule and to reserve a ticket) showings of an hour-long movie about the life of Christ. Allow half an hour to an hour and a half.

The Microtel was better than expected. For the price it was clean and well taken care of. They featured a nice continental breakfast. The location is a bit removed from downtown, but the freeways were close enough to be able to drive downtown easily.
Great quick stop over!

Great hotel for the money
desiree, 2007-03-06
10 miles away from Great Saltair and 5 miles from downtown clubs, bars, dining, etc.
The Microtel Inn was a great place to stay while visiting Salt Lake City. A friend and I spent one night there while visiting the area. It was a great location and easy to find. The hotel was clean, the staff was extremely helpful and friendly, to include the ammenities available for the money spent were exceptional. Parking is also not a problem to include free. I have stayed in hotels, motels, and hostels all over the world; and this is a great place for the money. If you are only visiting for a short while and need somewhere to stay that is affordable; I would not hesitate to tell a friend about Microtel Inn.
Very friendly

The staff was very helpful and friendly, when asked what there was to do in town, the offered good ideas and direction. The rooms were what you would expect for the price, slightly small, but other than that they were clean and well taken care off.
