The Bigelow Apartments

The leasing agent, Rylee, is the best! Entry into the apartments was an easy process. I had lots of issues on my side, like whether I was going to have a second person on the lease, but she managed that well. I got a single room without an oven, and I really like it. It has plenty of room. There is a lightswitch that appears to do nothing, but seems to turn the current on for some power outlets. The only downsides are expensive utilities and $50/month for trash pickup from the door. My trash has been left out for nearly a week several times. This latest time, only one trash bag was picked up and my box of garbage was left. I see lots of people going to the dumpster area themselves to throw their trash away, and it sucks how the money isn't used right. Utilities are also 300+/month for a single person apartment, which is on the more expensive side for Ogden. Overall, I really love the Bigelow. The staffing are easy to reach, friendly, and assistative. The prime location in downtown around transit systems is also a huge plus.

This is a Historic hotel. Beautiful interior lobby. The nightly rooms are spacious. There are also residents rooms. (I didn't get to see any of them.) Beautiful views from the rooms. We liked the hotel so much we stayed an additional two nights. They serve breakfast too in the morning. Yummy!

We moved out of state site unseen & we’re completely lied to by Bobby who proceeded to talk to us like we were idiots but then wanted pity when called out. We were told we’d have a renovated apartment & arrived to a 450sqft with no stove & a foot of counter space. Nowhere to put dishes. Yellow walls & old carpet. One window thru out the entire “apartment” that didn’t close all the way & we were told we were lucky the window opened. The a/c only worked a 3rd of time our year there & our apt was always between 80 & 90 degrees. Out of 3 elevators only one worked. The entire building smells like urine. There is dog poop everywhere that no one cleans up. They charge you $25 for valet trash that is picked up whenever they feel like it. The ceilings in the stairway were collapsing. The building was constantly broken into & homeless sleep in the lobby. The building is inhabitable yet they charge over $1k base rent for the apartment we were in. They charged for parking & the parking garage isn’t structurally sound. The management company is AMC & I would recommend never renting under them.

The AC doesn’t regularly work and has broken on average 5~ times a month. The water gets turned off randomly at least once a month. One of the elevators breaks all the time so only one is reliably functional. The laminated wood flooring is chipped and cracked in most areas. They don’t reliably plow the parking garage entrance/exit when it snows and there have been several accidents because of it. And they’re charging you $1700 after utilities/trash/electrical/water for a one bedroom apartment and this lovely experience.

Waking to a window view of snow covered mountains made our stay at this historic hotel even sweeter. Upon a near Midnight arrival on Christmas day, the staff was super friendly and quick to help. Our Queen suite not only had a very comfortable bed, but there was even a full size sofa pull out bed. The decor of the hotel brought visions of luxury accommodations from an era long gone by, yet the updates in convenience and technology were readily available as well. I don't know if you've seen how much hair I have, but the water pressure and shower head could clean even the most surly beings. Our digs even had a jetted tub! The Bigelow will now be at the top of my list of places to stay in the Salt Lake City area!

I stayed here while in Ogden for work and was pleasantly surprised. My room was huge, it had a little living room, kitchenette and separate bedroom. The room was clean and relatively quiet although the traffic from the street is a bit loud at times. The breakfast was one of the best free hotel breakfasts I have ever seen, crispy bacon and real scrambled eggs. This is an old hotel but it is clean and comfy, the towels soft and fluffy, good customer service. Keep your expectations in line with the price and you won't be disappointed.

Beware if you rent here you will be paying $500+ more than what the rent is. My rent is $1295 yet I’m paying nearly $1900 a month due to the unfair utility billing system they use. They have it divided by occupancy, yet have people illegally living here. Wonder how many I’m paying for that aren’t paying anything? You’re paying for everyone else, including the disruptive weddings that are here every single weekend. They take up all of the parking, are rude and loud, and keep the front doors propped open where all the cold air goes right out the door and believe me you’ll pay for it on your electric bill. Plus anyone can just walk right into the building. The apartments don’t have lighting in the bedrooms so there’s no reason for that high of an electric bill. I’m also paying for them to maintain the grounds when there’s a garbage bag next to the dumpster that’s been there for 3 weeks and dog crap literally everywhere, even the entrance to the lobby. No one is maintaining anything. You’ve been warned! For $1900 a month you can get a luxury apartment you don’t have to share with people having a wedding at your residence.

I'll start by saying that I would stay here again. With that out of the way, this is a strange hotel. I stayed for a conference after seeing how low the rates were compared to the official conference hotel a block away. If I were to review only the room, I would say $85 is ridiculously low. You could easily pay $150+ for the corner suite in most places--probably over $200 even. But then you go to the front desk, which has a snack bar, have the complimentary breakfast, take the stairs down to the lobby, and see some of the people hanging around the place. I did not have any issues with service or any negative interactions with employees. Just the atmosphere once you leave your room and go to the public areas is what you could expect for $85. I love the building and the story. Beautiful architecture and very nice lobby, if slightly run down. I explored every public area I could find and found it to be clean. There is a business center, a small fitness room with towels and a library, a massage space, and even a lawyer right off the lobby. There is no pool, which I guess is typical of an older hotel, but still a bit surprising. Breakfast is what you would expect from a budget hotel; I only had it once then went down 25th street for breakfast the rest of the week. Not that the food was bad, I just personally can only take so much budget hotel breakfast. I had so much space in my room; about the same as the apartment I live in with a wife and kid. Every time I went in the room, I thought I was ripping someone off only paying $85. Such a strange thing, a huge $150+ suite in a historic building and $75 amenities and service.

Your utilities will be $500+ a month. No one can tell you why and when you ask they make false police reports to get the cops to come to your home and accuse you of smoking marijuana. There is dog poop everywhere, people parked in emergency zones and people propping the front doors open so anyone can walk in.

I stopped by today by chance. I was astounded by the decor. It's absolutely lovely. The staff was friendly & helpful. I am defiantly booking a tour. It seems like a nice up & coming family place.

This place is really nice. A good blend of old and new. Sadly, i did no get an apartment but the staff I met, especially Nadine, was friendly and answered all of my questions. They were upgrading some units and you could tell they are definitely modernizing and yet keeping the traditions of a past era. Kudos and good luck on your jpourney.

I have been here with my boyfriend/fiancé for at least 3 months. In the first 90 days, we have felt warmly welcome and most of the neighbors are very nice, even though we are a quiet couple. The rent is inclusive with all the utilities and they make it easy to apply and get approved. There are some current remodels going on, however, things are really great and it puts us on the corner of 25th Street in Downtown Ogden around all the amenities and fun, shopping, and access to public transit

I want to express how impressed I was with the apartments. It is beautiful building with great tennants. Most of all they are pet friendly. Great customer service for we enjoyed the tour and they provided all of the information that was needed after the tour.

This is the worst place I have ever lived building is in disrepair maintenance staff is unwilling to fix anything. The building and tenants are a total shit show.

This is turning into a great place to live. Chris on the maintenance team provided top notch service on the drop off a dime to fix a simple issue, but that's the sort of work provided that is much appreciated as a resident.
