Hyatt House Salt Lake City Downtown
The room was very clean and spacious. I love the kitchen providing dishes and a large fridge with a freezer. There was not an ice bucket which was inconvenient in wanting to bring ice to the room. The staff were all very friendly. The pool was clean and temperature controlled. Breakfast was on paper ...

Salt Lake Marriott Downtown at City Creek
1st time staying at this Marriott. Great location downtown Salt Lake across the street from the convention center. Rooms were clean and spacious, staff was professional and accommodating. Lots of partying happening outside but we didn’t hear a thing. We will be coming back for sure

Placemakr Salt Lake City Downtown, Apartments by Hilton
Studio apartment was very nice - however there was no coffee maker or microwave in the otherwise well stocked and appointed kitchen. They were very nice in working with me on getting a late checkout on the day I left. There is some music noise from nearby clubs at night.
