Utah’s MOST EXPENSIVE Hotel Room is…WHAT?!?

I've never heard of this place.

When I was a kid, I thought we stayed in Motel 6's because they were six dollars a night. There's a great Simpson's joke about that:

I am not one of these people who is demanding about how nice their hotel is. I can only differentiate based on how stale their English muffins are in the morning. Other than that I can't tell much of a difference between a Super 8 or a Best Western or a Holiday Inn.

That makes it the fifth most expensive hotel in the world according to ABC4.
