Main Street Motel

Main Street Motel stands at 1518 South Main Street, in the Ballpark neighborhood of Salt Lake City. The address puts it roughly two miles south of Temple Square, on the Main Street corridor, one block west of State Street. Salt Lake City’s numbered grid makes the spot straightforward to find, since Main Street is the zero line that east and west addresses count outward from.

This is a budget property, and the listing reflects that. Free Wi-Fi and on-site parking are the two amenities on record. There is no pool, no restaurant, and no fitness center on the premises. No rates, room counts, or check-in hours are published, and the motel lists no website, so the front desk at (801) 486-8171 is the way to confirm availability and what a room includes.

The Ballpark neighborhood takes its name from Smith’s Ballpark at 77 West 1300 South, a few blocks northwest of the motel. The Ballpark TRAX light rail station is close by, at 1300 South and 180 West, which puts downtown Salt Lake City within a short ride instead of a drive. Main Street and State Street both run north into the city center, so the route in is a straight one.

Travelers should set expectations before booking. At the time this entry was compiled the motel carried a 2.6 star average across 187 Google reviews, which is low for lodging in the category. Read the recent reviews yourself, call ahead about the specific room and the nightly rate, and treat the property as basic overnight lodging on the Main Street corridor rather than a full-service hotel.
