Top Central City Hotel Reviews

Hilton Salt Lake City Center

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel overall was very clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Everything was good except for the breakfast buffet they offered, it was awful. Totally recommend the little diner across the street attached to the Holiday Inn it was fabulous and half the price."

Kimpton Hotel Monaco Salt Lake City by IHG

8/10 Good

"Overall fine for one night in SLC with a pet as the property doesn’t charge any pet fees; however, we did have to ask a couple times about beds and bowls and sadly the dog room service menu advertised on their website was discontinued. The room itself was small but still comfortable for 2 adults and a dog and we were pleasantly surprised with how quiet it ended up being, although the light from the corridor was basically blaring in so something to keep mind if you need a dark room to sleep. It is a historic building so the elevators do take a while and are finicky and we had a plumbing maintenance issue that we had to call multiple times to get any help with, to which they basically gave us a plunger that didn’t work and the problem did not get resolved at all by the time we checked out. The property’s restaurant is pretty good and it is a covenient location to walk to most places. Parking is also either a $47 a night valet or a $35 nightly at the garage next door"
