Top Central City Hotel Reviews

Little America Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were treated like we were VIPs. The grounds and lobby were like a classic regal hotel. The entire hotel was classic but everything up to date. The pools were beautiful and the fitness room comprehensive. Our rooms were very comfortable. My husband loved his Coffee Shop breakfasts. It was so convenient to the freeways and main city roads so getting around was simple. I felt very safe with the security provided both for guests and their cars."

Hampton Inn Salt Lake City - Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was clean! Staff were friendly. Breakfast was fairly good. I’d say great if the food attendant would have asked the chef to give me a cheeseless omelette. She declined so I give just “fairly good” rating. Otherwise, I was very happy with this hotel."
