Staying in Airport
The airport area is a sensible base for an early flight or the start of a road trip to Utah's national parks. The terminal is a few minutes away by free shuttle, rooms come with breakfast and parking, and downtown is about 15 minutes by car or TRAX.
The area is made up of business parks, warehouses and chain hotels near the freeway. The Great Salt Lake is a short drive west, and the mountains rise to the east.
The downside is that there's nothing to walk to. You'll eat in the hotel or drive for dinner, and you won't get a feel for the city.
What makes the airport area worth it is ease. You can land late, sleep near the terminal and set off for the slopes or the parks first thing, often for less than a night downtown.
