Garner Hotel Salt Lake City Airport by IHG is our Budget pick in Salt Lake City, and it is an airport hotel first. It suits travellers with an early flight, a late arrival or a rental car to return. Guests like the short drive to the terminal and the rental car drop-off, and they praise the shuttle.
Skip it if you came to explore the city. The main downtown sights are about 11 km away, so every outing means a drive, a taxi or public transport. It is also a 2-star hotel with the lowest review score of the 7 eligible properties we looked at, so expect a functional stay rather than comfort.
Location and getting around
The address is 223 Jimmy Doolittle Road. Guests rate the location 8.5 out of 10 and describe the area as safe. A free airport shuttle is listed, and guests call the rides efficient, with kind drivers and good communication.
The city is a different story. As straight-line walking estimates, Salt Lake Temple and Temple Square are each 10.8 km away, about 135 minutes on foot. The Cathedral of the Madeleine is 11.7 km, about 146 minutes. That is far. Plan on a car, public transport or a taxi for any sightseeing.
What guests say
The score is 8.0 out of 10 from 514 reviews. The positives are practical: quick access to the airport and rental car area, a safe neighbourhood, and a shuttle that works well.
Breakfast is where opinions split. The egg selection is called decent, but guests say some items are cold, stale or already gone. In the sample we checked, the hotel sits joint 7th of 7 eligible properties on review score. It is still a solid 8.0, but every other option scored at least as well.

Why it made our top 3
We compared 7 hotels in Salt Lake City. The Budget slot goes to the lowest eligible reference price after the upscale choice is set aside. At €81.64 per night the Garner took it, and its 8.0 from 514 reviews kept it above our quality bar. It earned its spot on cost and airport convenience, not on guest score.
Before you book
Check the shuttle schedule against your flight times, especially for very early or late flights. Ask whether breakfast is in your rate, and do not count on a full spread late in the morning. If you travel with a pet, check the pet policy and any fees directly. Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed, so read the room details and the cancellation policy.
