I have had business in Ogden for the last couple months and I have been staying at Ben Lomond Suites. Ben Lomond Suites is right in the middle of downtown Ogden so I have enjoyed being able to walk to a different restaurant almost every night of my stay. My favorite restaurants on 25th street are Tona's (Japanese), the Bistro (fancy American), ...
Having been a seasoned traveler most of my life...experiencing good hotels and bad...Ben Lomond finally has convinced me to remember My Worst. Dim mood as you enter...bad experience with clerk (attitude problems)...and the room...Jesus!...condom left in drawer...mold in bathroom...and weird sounds from other rooms all night. Then they try to sell ...
I read the bad reviews on the Ben Lomond; however, I decided to call the hotel myself and ask them about these negative reviews. Nora, the hotel reservationist, is an exceptional person that provided me with the perfect room. After several phone conversations with Nora, I decided to give the hotel a try. I am happy I did. For ten years I have ...

New Changes New Happiness
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/16/09
I stayed here a month ago and was not too impressed however I gave them another chance this past weekend and was stunned by the changes. The hotel, the staff, the food, the area, everything is greatly improving. After my last stay the manager assured they were under new ownership and working hard to turn the place around. THIS time they proved and ...

Be afraid, be VERY afraid!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/05/09
Liked: Aside from the stripper bar next door, and "downtown" Ogden. Checking out of the place was the best!
Disliked: The moldy carpets, the freezing room, the cold, fake scrambled eggs and nasty canned juices and stale bread and bagels, the luke warm shower, and the completley indifferent staff! This place was like being in a B-grade horror movie. The topper was finding a spent condom wrapper on top of the TV.

Okay
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/19/08
Our room was okay, but had a few problems. One the sofa was broken and light bulbs had been removed from one of the lamps, leaving the room dark. I reported both and they were taken care of. The biggest drawback is that the hotel is located on a major intersection with lots of traffic = no sleep from the cars that sounded like they were dragging racing all night. I would not stay there again due to not being able to sleep.

Definately not a Bargain
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/17/08
The room was old and dated and not what was reported by the front desk when questioned. Deep Scratch marks on the bathroom door, low ceiling clearance in the bath/shower area, old worn twin or queen size bed when king was requested. Room fee was adjusted but didn't really make up for the bad nights unrest.

Interesting & good
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/31/08
Historic Hotel in the process of renewing. Rooms were clean, beds comfortable, arcitecture (sp?)very 1920's. It is a nice place now, and set to get better ande better. Would not stay anywhere else in Ogden.
I was looking forward to staying at this hotel after my husband returned from serving overseas for 7 1/2 months.
We originally reserved a two bedroom suite with a king bed and two full beds, and a jacuzzi. When we arrived to the hotel, we were told to only check in for one night so we would not be charged for two rooms. We were given a condo ...

the WORST hotel ever
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/10/08
I travel around a lot and I know what hotels should be like for the price they ask for. This hotel runs rooms between about $80 and $200. I didn't find anything that I thought was good. Here is the list of things I experienced at this worst hotel I've ever been. 1. The carpet in front of bathrooms(both men's and women's) on the ...
