Hampton Inn & Suites Salt Lake City/University-Foothill Dr.

The Hampton Inn & Suites at 1345 South Foothill Drive stands on the East Bench of Salt Lake City, the terrace of higher ground along the valley’s east side. Foothill Drive, carried here as Utah State Route 186, is the East Bench’s main arterial, running northwest toward the University of Utah and southeast to the interchange with Interstate 80 and Interstate 215 at the mouth of Parleys Canyon.

Distances read short by valley standards. Third party listings put the University of Utah about a mile north, roughly a 20 minute walk, and Salt Lake City International Airport at 8.7 miles. Downtown Salt Lake City sits about five miles northwest by road. The interchange where Foothill Drive meets Interstate 80 and Interstate 215, the gateway to Parleys Canyon and the road toward Park City, is under two miles southeast of the front door.

The hotel counts 81 guest rooms and suites. Standard inclusions are free hot breakfast each morning, free Wi-Fi throughout, and free parking, with covered spaces available. An indoor pool and hot tub, a fitness room, and a meeting room round out the on site facilities. Rooms are air conditioned, the building is entirely smoke free, and accessible rooms are part of the mix.

Worth knowing before you book: there is no full service restaurant on site, so plan on the breakfast room, the on site Suite Shop for snacks and travel items, and a short drive for dinner. The Sugar House business district sits a few minutes southwest. The property is pet friendly and set up for families, and across 719 Google reviews it carried a 4.3 average as of August 2026.
