The pool are was very clean and we enjoyed relaxing there. Breakfast was a notch better than other hotels. The staff was excellent. The parking was very convenient. I would stay here again."

Park Inn by Radisson, Salt Lake City Downtown

8/10 Good

"I rated it a 4 very comfortable beds and pillows stayed one night only down fall bed was literally right in front of air conditioner so I had to shut off cause it was blowing right on face when sleeping then got stuffy so turned back on slept with covers over over my head no irons or iron boards in room had to ask for iron and had to wait for others to use iron and return it back to office before we got to use it didn't know if we had time to iron our clothes due to the wait every one was there for a graduation but other wise not a bad stay just need a few adjustments staff was very friendly"

Comfort Inn & Suites Salt Lake City Airport

8/10 Good

"My stay at the Comfort Inn Airport Hotel was very nice. I have only one complaint and I'm sure they will address it. It had to do with the fan in my room which was squeaky and loud for a few minutes when the air conditioner first turned on. The room was very clean and comfortable other than that. I mentioned the fan issue when checking out and the gentleman at the desk assured me he would look into it. I would definitely stay there again."
