Little America Hotel
The tub did not drain well and there was a strange smell on the first night of my stay. The smell seemed to disappear in the morning. Staff is friendly and attentive. I enjoy the lobby of the hotel. It's comfortable and inviting.

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Salt Lake City Airport
The shuttle service from the airport was not good. I called for a shuttle and was not informed that the pick was going to be from the Radisson. I was informed when I called the 2nd time. Still no shuttle arrived. Called a 3rd time and after a 90 minute wait got aride from another hotel.
