Top Central City Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Salt Lake City Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent! Thank you!!!!!"

Anniversary Inn - 5th South

8/10 Good

"My girlfriend and I spent a night in the Jackson Hole room. We dream of seeing the grand tetons together one day , this staycation was special to us. The chess board on the table was fun, and reading the messages on the journal was sweet and hilarious. We plan to return and stay in a different room."

Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott Salt Lake City Downtown

8/10 Good

"Its a great location, just a few minutes walk to downtown and right off the freeway. The room was clean and the staff were great. My only complaint is that a woman brought a huge fluffy dog to breakfast, the dog was gorgeous. When she was asked to take the dog back to her room, she said it was a service dog. It clearly was not. It didn't have a harness, just a standard 6 foot leash. There was nothing that labeled it as a service dog on the collar or leash and she was letting everyone pet the dog. I know people with service dogs and that is not how they present a service dog. The dog was walking around sniffing things and she kept reprimanding the dog, but no one questioned her again. I was glad I'd already gotten my breakfast or I wouldn't have eaten."

Comfort Inn Salt Lake City Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"My stay was good first time ever being in salt lake City going to a concert the hotel was in walking distance of downtown salt lake City so I experienced new bars new places to eat and the scenery was really nice I do recommend coming back and they do welcome any dogs I had a puppy and a accommodated for my puppy"
