"The fixtures in the rooms were very beautiful. I don’t think the hotel is all it’s hyped up to be. The staff definitely could’ve been a little more engaging and friendly. The staff member that was at the front desk did not smile ever"

"Location is great! Just a couple of blocks from Temple Square. Tons of restaurants nearby, but most are pricey. Room wasn't the biggest but it was nice. The hotel could use a little TLC. The floor we were on had peeling wallpaper and baseboards. The biggest knock about this place is the parking. ..."
