Crystal Inn Hotel & Suites Salt Lake City
The hotel is a little older and dated, but it’s clean, the staff was great, and the breakfast was very good. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows left a little to be desired. Overall, we were happy.

Sheraton Salt Lake City Hotel
The Sheraton is such a neat hotel! The staff was so kind and the room was fabulous. I would stay there again! The only downfall is the room didn’t have a microwave, but there is one in the lobby. Thank you for a great stay!!
