The Grand America Hotel
Extremely nice and well kept and spacious with all of the amenities you’d expect from a high-end hotel. Just frankly not my design style.

Hyatt Regency Salt Lake City
Very clean hotel, staff is nice. Parking is too expensive. No free parking for guests. If i am paying $300 per night i expect a free parking.

Sheraton Salt Lake City Hotel
Very nice hotel but be aware of transients sleeping on the sidewalks surrounding the hotels if you plan to walk rather than drive about.
