Tooele's BEST Kept Secret: Comfort Inn & Suites (Near Salt Lake City)!
Tooele's BEST Kept Secret: Comfort Inn & Suites (Near Salt Lake City)!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the wild, wonderful world of… Tooele's Comfort Inn & Suites! (Near Salt Lake City, for those Google Maps folks). Forget the sterile, predictable hotel reviews – this is going to be raw, real, and guaranteed to make you actually want to book a stay.
First off, let's be real: Tooele. It's not exactly Aspen. But that's precisely why this Comfort Inn is a hidden gem. It's… well, it's surprisingly good. My expectations were low, I confess. I was picturing a slightly sad, slightly tired motel vibe. But listen, this place? It's got soul. And by soul, I mean it's clean, comfortable, and has a surprising number of genuinely thoughtful amenities.
Accessibility: A Big Win (And a Small Hiccup)
Okay, so accessibility. This is HUGE for me, because I travel with my grandma. The Comfort Inn gets a big thumbs up here. Wheelchair accessibility seemed solid throughout, and the elevator (essential!) was easy to use. They've clearly put some thought into making the place user-friendly. However (and here's my small hiccup), while the rooms say they have accessible features, I'd recommend calling ahead and specifically confirming what features are in your room. Better safe than sorry, you know?
Internet: The Lifeblood (Mostly Good News!)
Alright, Internet. We all need it, right? Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Yes! And it actually works! The Internet access – wireless was strong enough to stream, and that’s a big win for me. I'm a sucker for binging a show in bed, so a reliable connection is key. They also had Internet [LAN] for the hardcore gamers, or, you know, people who really need a wired connection for work.
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Safe, Feeling Good
This is where the Comfort Inn really shines, especially in this post-pandemic world. They are SERIOUS about cleanliness and safety. I noticed hand sanitizer everywhere. They had daily disinfection in common areas, and I could see the staff taking it seriously. The rooms sanitized between stays. Their staff is trained in safety protocol which is nice to see. They've also implemented safe dining setup so I felt at ease. I saw what they were doing and it made me feel safe.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Surprise, Surprise!
Now, here's where I started to get genuinely impressed. I wasn't expecting gourmet, but I wasn't expecting this either. The breakfast [buffet] was better than expected! It wasn’t amazing, but hey, a breakfast service is a great perk, especially after a long drive. They also gave us breakfast takeaway service! I could grab a coffee and a muffin and head back to my room.
Services and Conveniences: Think of it as a Swiss Army Knife of Comfort
This Comfort Inn is a workhorse. They've got pretty much anything you could need. A concierge is available if needed, and I'm a sucker for a convenience store for late-night snacks. Daily housekeeping kept everything shipshape. Dry cleaning and laundry service are there if you need them (because let's be honest, sometimes you do). Even a cash withdrawal option!
Available in All Rooms: The Nitty Gritty
Let's talk room specifics. You'll find the usual suspects: air conditioning, alarm clock, coffee/tea maker (hallelujah!), hair dryer, ironing facilities, etc. The beds were comfy (and had extra long beds, which is a plus for those of us who are taller than the average bear). Free bottled water? Absolutely. The blackout curtains were a lifesaver. I really enjoyed the complimentary tea!
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Honestly, More Than I Expected
Okay, here’s where it gets interesting. Relaxation! The swimming pool [outdoor] was lovely. The fitness center appeared clean and well-kept, although I mostly opted for the "relaxing" part of the equation. They also had facilities to help you to wind down which included a spa and sauna.
And Now, for the Rambling Part…
So, here's the thing. I went into this review with a bit of a cynical heart. I was expecting a blah hotel. And I'm happy to report that this couldn't be further from the truth. Comfort Inn & Suites in Tooele? It’s like finding a perfectly ripe peach in a grocery store full of bruised apples. Unexpected, delightful and completely worth it. It's clean, it's comfortable, and it offers a level of service that honestly, I don't often find, even in more "upscale" places.
Now, here comes the really rambling part. One of my favorite moments was… actually, it was the pool with a view. I’m not even a pool person usually, but the way it was situated, with the mountains in the background, was just… peaceful. I sat there one evening with a book, the sun setting, feeling genuinely relaxed. That’s the kind of feeling you don’t get very often, and it was a total win. Sure, it's not a five-star resort, but it felt like a little slice of paradise right there in Tooele. And frankly, the feeling of unexpected peace, and a good view, is worth way more than a fancy lobby.
The Imperfection: A Small Quibble About the Gym.
The gym was fine. It had the basics. It was clean. But it wasn't amazing. A few more weights would have been nice, but honestly? I'm not complaining. I'm on vacation, and I'm going to relax.
The Bottom Line: Should You Book? YES!
Absolutely. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable, and surprisingly well-equipped hotel near Salt Lake City, book this place! It's a great value, the staff is friendly, the rooms are comfortable, and that pool view is worth the price of admission alone.

Lampang's BEST Boutique Hotel: Budget Luxury Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't your typical perfectly planned itinerary. This is me, stumbling through a trip from the Comfort Inn & Suites in Tooele. Prepare for rambles, questionable decisions, and a serious lack of grace. Let's do this!
The Tooele Tango: A Comfort Inn Chronicle (and a Whole Lot More)
Day 1: Arrival & Existential Dread in a Sea of Beige
- 14:30 - Arrival at Comfort Inn & Suites, Tooele: Oh, the romance! The fluorescent lights, the vaguely floral-scented air freshener…it's exactly what I expected. My room key…doesn't work. Naturally. After a brief, awkward exchange with the weary-eyed front desk clerk (me, slightly sweaty from the drive, her, looking like she hasn't seen sunlight since the Carter administration), I get a replacement. Success! Kinda.
- 15:00 - Room Inspection: Okay, the room is… functional. Two queen beds, the obligatory landscape painting of…mountains? I think? I'm questioning my life choices and the sheer beige-ness of everything. The TV remote has more buttons than I have brain cells. This is going to be a long trip.
- 16:00 - The Search for Food & My Soul: I'm starving. Tooele is… small. I drive aimlessly, contemplating the meaning of life while passing a gas station and a place called “The Rusty Rooster.” (I'm intrigued, but maybe not that intrigued). Eventually, I settle on a greasy burger place. Judge me, I dare you. The burger was… well, it was a burger. Nothing more, nothing less. It was kind of just… food.
- 17:30 - Back to the Room, Back to the Void: I collapse on the bed. The sheer exhaustion of driving and the existential weight of existing in a Comfort Inn hits me like a wall. I flip through channels and land on a rerun of "CSI: Miami." Horatio Caine’s Sunglasses: The only thing getting me through this. This is the life, isn't it?
Day 2: Salt Lake City, Saints, and Some Questionable Decisions
- 08:00 - Breakfast Calamity: The complimentary continental breakfast. Oh, sweet, saccharine Jesus. The waffles look like they’ve been through WWII. Instant coffee, weak and watery. I contemplate whether or not to invest in a pack of Pop-Tarts. I go with the Pop-Tarts. At least they're predictable.
- 09:00 - The Great Expedition to Salt Lake City: Okay, time to face the music. I’m off to the big city! (Well, big-ish). I steel myself against traffic. I’m so ready to get this show on the road.
- 10:00 - Temple Square Tumble: Temple Square. It's…impressive. And packed. I’m suddenly very aware of my slightly-too-loud floral shirt and overall lack of decorum. I wander around, feeling like an intruder in a very well-manicured garden. I try to be respectful, but I can’t help but be a little… overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff. The architecture is beautiful, though. I definitely feel underdressed. I am clearly not a local.
- 12:00 - Lunch Debacle: Thinking I'm a culinary genius. I try to find a trendy, new food truck. Turns out it’s closed, or maybe it just packed up shop for good and moved to Portland. Or maybe it was just a figment of my imagination. I end up at a chain restaurant near the city, and I'm disappointed. My tastebuds are sad.
- 14:00 - The Utah State Capitol Building: The architecture is gorgeous, absolutely stunning. I walk around, feeling ridiculously small. And a little emotional? It’s a weird mix, but I love how majestic the building is.
- 16:00 - Driving back to Tooele: Traffic. Ugh. I'm going to need a nap, once I get back.
- 18:00 - Back in the Beige Embrace (Again): Dinner at a local diner. Nothing fancy, but the waitress is sweet. She tells me a story about her cat, Mr. Whiskers. It makes the whole experience feel a little less…lonely. I'm already counting down the minutes until I can crawl back into that perfectly ordinary Comfort Inn bed.
Day 3: Farewell, Tooele (and the Beige Abyss)
- 08:00 - Last Waffle. Last Sigh. I attempt to make coffee. Fail miserably. I decide I’m going to miss this waffle; I'm so proud of myself.
- 09:00 - Final Check-Out & Escape: Thankfully, the room key works this time. Success! I flee the Comfort Inn & Suites like it's haunted by the ghosts of bad breakfasts and beige carpets.
- 09:30 - A Moment of Reflection (or, Rather, a Lack Thereof): I pause at a gas station to fill up the tank. I think, "Was this trip worth it? Did I learn anything?" The answer? Maybe. I mean, I survived. I’m going to remember this, kind of. It was imperfect, messy, and full of moments that weren't exactly Pinterest material. But it was real. And, hey, at least I saw some mountains. And I survived.
- 10:00 - Leaving Tooele: I hit the open road, wondering where I'll end up next. Honestly, probably another Comfort Inn. Maybe I'll get a better room this time. The one with a working coffee machine. A girl can dream, can't she? And I'll never look at beige the same way again.
Okay, seriously, is Tooele *really* a secret? And does the Comfort Inn *really* deserve the "BEST Kept Secret" title?
Look, Tooele isn't exactly Ibiza. Let's be honest. You're not gonna stumble upon it on a whim. But "secret"? Maybe! It's a well-kept secret *to the average tourist*. The Comfort Inn? Well, it depends. I've had experiences ranging from "surprisingly decent" to "almost-lost-my-deposit-because-the-shower-head-just-exploded-off-the-wall." (That one was memorable). But hey, for the price compared to Salt Lake City hotels, and the free breakfast? It's a solid contender. It's like that slightly awkward, reliable friend who always has your back (even if their jokes are a *little* off).
What's the *real* deal with the free breakfast? Is it a buffet of dreams, or a continental-style catastrophe?
Alright, the breakfast. Okay, you *know* those free hotel breakfasts, right? The ones that *promise* fluffy scrambled eggs and crispy bacon, and deliver…beige? Well, it's *mostly* beige here. There's usually some sort of egg product (again, color: beige), some pre-made waffles you can jazz up with syrup and a desperate hope for something that isn’t cardboard, and the standard cereal suspects. BUT, and this is a small but significant but... sometimes they have sausage links. And those sausage links? They're actually…okay. Like, surprisingly decent. I once ate four plates of the darn things. Don't judge me. I needed fuel for my epic drive to nowhere in particular.
The pool... Is it a refreshing oasis or a chlorine-infused swamp?
The pool... Okay, I have a *complicated* relationship with this pool. First, let's state the obvious: It's not the Four Seasons. It ain’t fancy. The pool is fine. Clean enough, usually. Sometimes, you get that chlorine smell that makes your eyes water, you know, the smell that reminds you of childhood summers. I once saw a small child... *ahem*... 'release' something into the pool. Thankfully, a lifeguard was there, and it was handled (professional-like). Anyway, the pool is fine, you can swim, kids like it, and after a long day of driving, you might be surprised just how good a mediocre pool can feel. Oh, and there's a hot tub. Which, let’s be real, is the real MVP.
How's the Wi-Fi? Because, let's face it, the internet is essential to life.
Wi-Fi...Ugh. It can be hit or miss. Sometimes it blazes along like Usain Bolt, letting me stream all the terrible reality TV I can handle. Other times? It's like watching a dial-up modem wrestle a sloth. I've had times where I've spent five minutes trying to load a single webpage. And for a travel blogger who relies on the internet? Well, let’s just say that I ended up going to Taco Time a LOT more during my stay, just to tether on their Wi-Fi from the parking lot. So, yeah. Pack a book...Or, you know, plan on just streaming *later*.
Is it *really* near Salt Lake City? Or "near" like, "technically-on-the-same-planet-as"?
Okay, let's be brutally honest here: It's not *in* Salt Lake City. The Comfort Inn is in Tooele. Think of it as a nice, slightly less chaotic place to base yourself while you explore the surrounding area. It's like having a quiet, off-the-grid little hideaway. Driving into SLC is manageable, but it’ll take a bit. Think of it as a little 'bonus' drive if you get some bad luck with traffic and want to get there faster. So, "near" is relative, but the price difference and the avoidance of SLC hotel fees can *absolutely* be worth it.
What's the parking situation like? Because finding parking is the ultimate struggle.
Parking? Easy peasy. There's plenty of it. It’s free. And you don't have to circle the block like a vulture looking for a free carcass. This alone is a reason to stay here. I've stayed at hotels where parking was a NIGHTMARE. You know, the ones where they charge you an arm and a leg and you *still* have to walk a mile in the rain? The Comfort Inn? Parking is a win.
Are the rooms clean? Because a dirty room is a deal-breaker.
Okay, this is the BIG one. Cleanliness is *critical*. And, thankfully, my experiences here have generally been good. The rooms usually *are* clean. Fresh sheets, clean bathroom. I mean, you might find the occasional… stray hair (let’s be honest, it happens), but overall, they're above par for the price. The cleaning staff is working hard. I feel like I should leave a slightly embarrassing compliment on the survey.
Are there any good restaurants nearby? Because I'm always hungry.
Okay, the food scene in Tooele isn't exactly the culinary equivalent of Paris. But there are options. There's your usual suspects, like fast food chains (that Taco Time I mentioned? Absolute godsend). There are some local diners. Don't expect gourmet, but you won't starve. I suggest asking the front desk for recommendations. Just be prepared to do a little exploring (and maybe a lot of Googling) because, again, Tooele. The upside? It's all *way* cheaper than eating in SLC! (Though, if you're really a foodie, maybe you should plan on spending a bit of time in the city.)
Bottom line: Should I stay here?
Look, do I *love* the Comfort Inn & Suites near Tooele? As in, would I write a sonnet about it? Probably not. But do I recommend it? Yes, absolutely. It's reliable. It's *affordable*. It's got an acceptable breakfast, a decent pool, and usually, clean rooms. It's perfect for a pitstop. My greatest memories of this hotel? A whole heck of a lot of rest, and a *lot* of driving. If you're looking for luxury, keep looking. But if you want a comfy, clean, and affordable place to crash while you explore the area, and areGlobe Stay Finder
