The hotels were generally hotel/motel style. The best one was a Comfort Inn in Salt Lake City and the worst was in Kanab, UT.
All hotels had free Wifi, but the wifi in Kanab was terrible - slow and constantly disconnecting you. Some required passwords (usually provided with your keys at check in), others were open wifi.
The quality of the hotels varied, some were modern and new, others were old but had character, like wood carved beds. No promises that they were hand carved, but they looked like it. But the beds and pillows were comfortable, rooms were clean and with one or two exceptions, the rooms were spacious for two people and their luggage. Some had elevators, others did not. We were usually on the first or second floor and I only had to carry luggage up and down the stairs once. On more then one occasion I did have the very last room in the hallway.
In Chicago we stayed at the Best Western, Grant Park. The location was EXCELLENT if you wanted to go to Museum Campus. It was also only 2 or 3 blocks from the "L." The immediate area did not have much, but there was a Walgreens and a restaurant within 2 blocks. The hotel itself was old and a little sad looking. But, the beds and bedding were new and comfortable, along with the bathroom. The hotel did have wifi and I think it also had a pool, though I never saw it.
Overall the hotels on this tour were pretty good. None were fancy, but they were clean and provided all the amenities you needed. Many hotels also had the shower/toilet separate from the sink which was nice when getting ready in the morning and at night.
