What guests think

At Little America Hotel Salt Lake City, guests often praise spacious, clean rooms, friendly staff, central location, and amenities like pools and on‑site dining, while noting dated garden rooms, paid parking, occasional A/C or plumbing issues, and street noise.

Many guests highlight the tower rooms as more modern with great views, while the garden buildings can be far from the lobby and lack elevators. Service is widely described as friendly and accommodating, with frequent upgrades, though restaurant service can be slow at peak times. On‑site dining and pools are popular, but breakfast and parking can feel pricey, and occasional maintenance or pool closures occur. Expect a classic, comfortable stay with strong amenities and attentive service.

Save you money and book the Crystal Inn. Parking is a nightmare and they charge a arm and a leg for it. Yoi walk forever tog et to your room. The room was ok, but not worth the price.

Beautiful hotel resort in SLC. Expansive room and bathroom with very comfortable bed and linens. I appreciated that thermostat could be adjusted to half a degree! Main drawback is the design of the shower door. It resulted in a huge puddle on the floor that soaked the bath mat. Potential slip hazard. Must pay to park whether ypu valet or not and you have to use your hotel key to exit the property. My concern with that is in event of emergency exiting would be an issue.

Two pools are very nice, and they stay open late. Great part of town, right in the mix, will stay next time I come into town. Very easy to park, and I liked how open it was.

Great stay overall. What I don't like it that they charge for parking your vehicle there, even when staying on property. I don't believe I should have to pay to park my vehicle on the property that I've paid to stay at. Other than that, this place is great.

Great downtown salt lake location. Close to multiple restaurants and City Creek mall, LDS Temple. Easy free parking/ valet. Underground parking available. 2 clean pools, kid friendly. Our only issue for being such a great hotel were the beds, mattresses were very hard, not comfortable.

The entire hotel is spotless. Rooms clean and well maintained. They were experiencing difficulties with their television system but seemed to be working on addressing the issues. All staff were helpful and very kind. They did change to a Keurig coffee machine in the rooms but did not provide any tea pods.

This is a 4-star hotel, so you expect it to be nice. It didn't disappoint. Check-in was smooth and easy after a little wait in line. Room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Two little glitches, though. The bathroom sink drain was clogged. But staff had it cleared by the time we returned from dinner. However, they left a little mess on the floor we had to wipe up. Overall, though, an excellent place to stay on the final day of a long road trip.

Extremely disappointed in the cleanliness of this hotel. Hair left in bath/shower, found a large yellow stain on comforter that was covered by a blanket, coffee machine was not usable. We stayed in their Garden Room which was right against a busy street, traffic went until very late at night. Would not recommend.

We stayed in a garden view room, but only had a view of the road. It felt like a motel - compared to what seems to more upscale accommodations in the tower. The furniture was dated and worn. The bathroom needs renovation. Service was good and otherwise the atmosphere was great!

Spacious room (stayed in a garden room), very clean and comfortable, friendly staff, housekeeping came everyday. Pools were nice. We had street noise but wasn’t too bad for our room location. Air conditioning didn’t work great for 100 degree weather. Tub filled up with water (up to ankles) every shower. Wish it was more eco friendly with water stations, had to purchase quite a few plastic bottles during our stay. Overall we were happy with our stay and would stay again.

Tried to turn the thermostat down for just a few hours while getting ready for a wedding and upon return getting ready for bed and it didn't really cool the room off any more. It was comfortable but not cool. We were in a tower room so the door opened to the hallway and not the outside.

Hotel check-in was excellent with Carolyn, and the entire (Front Desk) was great. We had one terrible experience in the coffee shop where we went for lunch for my birthday while waiting for our room to be ready. The next night we tried again and had a fabulous experience, like we always have for the past 45 years. Unfortunately, we paid for the terrible experience which we felt management should have offered to void the charge. Cool is wonderful and everything is kept clean, organized and ready for guests! We go to Little America, at least four or five times a year and always have a wonderful experience.

We stayed 2 nights at this hotel in Salt Lake City . I had asked specifically for a quiet room but the room they gave us had street noise. I reviewed the hotel and just mentioned that there was some noise. Within an hour, the hotel manager called me, apologized for the noisy room, upgraded to a better room at no charge and even deducted the $18 nightly parking fee. I have NEVER had such great service and caring at any other business. Congratulations to the management and staff at Little America for having such great policies and caring about their customers.

The rooms were very clean. Beds and pillows were very nice and comfortable. It is an older property and the hallways could use some updating. The Coffee Shop and Buffet are not like they used to be. It was ome of the nicest places to eat at one time, with alot of options for good old fasioned dinners. There was not much to choose from unless you wanted burgers or sandwiches. The dinner choices were either Steak or Prime Rib but only on weekends. The buffet for weekdays for breakfast was just pastries and cereals. You could get scrambled eggs but mainly just what you would expect at hotels who include breakfast. The price of $27.00 for cereal and pastries was a bit high. We made our decision to stay there based on there delicious buffet the way it used to be. Perhaps the buffet at the Grand Hotel would have been better. All in all it was a nice stay and the staff was very pleasant. I would stay there again.

This was a very nice hotel. It was easy to park the car and have access to it once parked. It was close to downtown and you can easily walk there too. The staff was very friendly and professional. The rooms were large. The only issue with our room was that the AC wasn’t working well and it was extremely hot. We had maintenance come out and he changed the filter but it didn’t fix the issue. I wasn’t impressed with the restaurants. We had breakfast on site. It was pricey and very basic and mediocre. We also had dinner at the buffet. It was $45 per person and half of the food was dry, the Mac and cheese was flavorless. The chicken, steak, and salmon were good. The desserts were pretty bad. Definitely not worth the price. The pool was very nice and clean. We would stay here again.
