Top Central City Hotel Reviews

Little America Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast might just be the best breakfast I’ve ever had. Anything you can think of us there. It was hot, fresh and delicious as well."

Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott Salt Lake City Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Here’s the updated review: We had a great stay at the Fairfield Inn & Suites Downtown Salt Lake City. The location was perfect for everything we needed to do downtown, and the price was very reasonable compared to other options in the area. One of the highlights was the complimentary breakfast. The oatmeal bar had an amazing selection of toppings, making it easy to customize a healthy breakfast. They also offered waffles, sausage patties, and quiche, which provided plenty of variety and made for a satisfying start to the day. The only downside was that the guests staying above us were extremely noisy. However, the hotel staff did a great job addressing the issue promptly, and we really appreciated their responsiveness and professionalism. Overall, this was a comfortable, convenient, and affordable place to stay. The excellent location, tasty breakfast, and attentive staff made for a positive experience, and we would definitely consider staying here again when visiting downtown Salt Lake City."

Crystal Inn Hotel & Suites Salt Lake City

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived in the wee hours of the morning after airline delays on a long journey, and received a very nice greeting and efficient check in. They also kindly offered us late check out. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast had a ton of hot and cold choices."

Placemakr Salt Lake City Downtown, Apartments by Hilton

6/10 Okay

"Great stay but two minor issues just due to the fact that I think this is a new build/newly renovated building, the rest of the stay was fabulous, clean and aesthetically pleasing: Outlets on one half of the unit did not work so no TV or device charging from the dining table area which was sort of weird. I had a unit that was super close to the door that you have to code into to get to the placemakr units from the hallway, and that hallway door is comically loud and slams pretty bad. Even listening to people punch in the code was super loud as the beeps on the keypads are louder than they probably need to be. I could see that being a huge issue for a light sleeper, because it shakes the room when the door closes. Otherwise the stay was great and i'd recommend, sounds like they just have some tiny kinks to workout as a newer build."
