Salt Lake City hotels near Abravanel Hall

Cons: Not good value IMO. It was nice but there were several disappointing things in our short stay (see below) that I would have expected better considering the price. Service was prickly and unfriendly. The rooms were well appointed and large but I didn't find the value paying 3x for them. Pretentious... too fancy for me. Not a bad thing just know what you're getting. As an example, there's a harp player in the main lobby. One of the two bathroom sinks leaked at the handle and the sink didn't drain. It would have been obvious to housekeeping as there was standing water in the bowl but they didn't offer to fix it. I didn't complain because we were only there 2 nights and just used the other sink. Got coffee in the lobby restaurant...it was the worst coffee I've ever had. Smelled and tasted terrible. All of these things are relatively minor but for a huge price premium I expect a premium experience and didn't get it. I'll stay at a Double Tree or something comparable next time I'm in SLC.

Cons: we did not find an in-room coffee maker, which we would expect for our junior suite.

Cons: Only positive things to say.

Cons: Head desk lady seemed annoyed with any family at the hotel she didn't hide it well she didn't like families there. The pool only stays open until 10:00. The rooms lighting is annoying the bathroom lights wouldn't work for some reason, the glass sliding door into the bathroom was horrible once it was shut it would take me a grown man to open it for the kids and my wife. Breakfast was so so, there is much better breakfasts out there I have stayed at the Hyatt House just 20 minutes away from the hotel and it has better amenities and breakfast. Also two of my children forgot toothbrushes so they went down to get one and they charged them for a toothbrush I mean for $160 a night that is ridiculous. Also we pulled out the hide a bed and there was a huge hairball from the wash or something it was pretty gross.

Cons: Tile in the shower was dated.

Cons: Available parking was limited in the paid lot behind the hotel.

Cons: They charged $75.00 non refundable deposit for a 5lbs dog. Ridiculous amount. Was not worth the cost with that included.

Cons: Extra 10 bucks to park

Cons: Gym lacking a general weight station, Pool should be inside building, a female Staff member was rude and with an actitude.

Cons: Everything was great

Cons: The fact that parking was $10/night.

Cons: Pay to park, I am already paying for a room and taxes and then you charge me to park at your hotel.

Cons: Lack of bacon in breakfast :(

Cons: The parking situation was confusing since I've never been in the area and arrived in the dead of the night. There weren't clear instructions pasted anywhere explaining what to do.

Cons: There isn't a lot to not like. The complimentary newspapers are good, but would appreciate a local paper in place of perhaps the Wall Street Journal.

Cons: Wallpaper in room was coming off wall, grout in tub was coming out, outlets near bed were covered by wood decorative panel, bathroom was freezing while room was warm, no circulation

Cons: The fitness room has old equipment that does not work well. These are heavily used, so it would be a good idea to replace them.

Cons: The only thing I didn't like was you couldn't get beer or drinks after 11 P.M.

Cons: Wireless internet was poor at best. Contacted their tech support whose solution was to log in to the router and kick other people off the network, which did not help. Both upon my arrival and upon my departure a police officer was stationed in the lobby with his squad car in plain sight just in front of the entrance. Any hotel that feels the need to have a uniformed police officer (not a security guard) at their property with that kind of regularity, causes me concern that the hotel is unsafe. For this reason alone I will not stay at this hotel again.

Cons: The continental breakfast was subpar, despite being hyped upon check-in as one of the hotel's best features. I also had issues connecting to the internet, and had to cycle through several different networks before finally staying connected.

Cons: Nothing that I can think of.

Cons: The hallway smelled like smoke.

Cons: No complaints at all.

Cons: The floor I was staging on was under construction.

Cons: Room smelled like a smoker. Bed could have used some padding. No couch for kid to sleep on.

Cons: Upon registration, the hotel didn't have my booking info from getaroom.com, and it took them quite a while to fetch it. I've heard it's not uncommon with this website, so I suggest to book with other ones.

Cons: While Wi-fi was free and available in rooms (and lobby), it didn't work very well. Pool/gym area is rather small, however I wasn't expecting one at all so I wasn't disappointed.

Cons: The breakfast food was not good. Most of it tasted and looked like it sat around for a long time. The table area is tight, especially with many families with small kids. Fortunately there are restaurants close by!

Cons: Overpriced in the summer. Staff lied to me about room availability. Had booked the rooms for a week and then received an invoice the second morning. Was told nothing was available and they were sorry. Then I booked a room online and the staff proceeded to give me attitude. Breakfast setup in a way that it can't accommodate the number of guests. Parking lot is a hangout for homeless folks. Stayed there many times in the last few months but will never go back.

Cons: No skin/hand cream available among toiletry.

Cons: Nothing about the place made me unhappy.

Cons: Parking is turrible

Cons: My husband was concerned about a homeless shelter a block away but we never had any trouble.

Cons: I was unable to go.......but my friend and her "special needs" son went......original 3 I had booked the room for. When arriving, Jarred had to use the restroom and the "clerk" was VERY rude and unfriendly. Sheryl asked if there was a public restroom and the clerk asked "Are you a guest?".........well she had a suitcase........rude, rude, rude.........they were never greeted or acknowledged the rest of the weekend.............so NO, I won't be staying there

Cons: TL;DR We were overcharged for the room. The room was dark and tiny. We were "upgraded" to a smaller, darker room. Don't stay here. Paying via priceline was $40 more than the hotel website advertised. On a night when the hotel was nearly empty, we were given an awkward corner room that was poorly lit and the size of a closet. Front desk was nice enough to "upgrade" us.... to a smaller and darker yet equally uncomfortable corner room. The robes were threadbare, faded leopard print, and gross. It was so terrible that we questioned whether we were on Candid Camera. I've been a lifelong Kimpton devotee but never again. There are so many great hotel options in SLC. Don't waste your time or money here.

Cons: Dogs

Cons: No complaints

Cons: Other people's showers so loud it kept me up, knocking on my door when I have do not disturb tag hanging, if you arrive late at night your reservation may disappear, parking is stupid expensive considering cost of room, no parking for large vehicles.

Cons: Everything was great.

Cons: Could have done a little preventative maintenance on the toilet it was clogged I called front desk they sent someone to plunge it

Cons: 5th time in the hotel over 6 years. Still looking for what I don’t like

Cons: Girl that checked us in put us in the wrong room and when told did it again. I went to remedy and was told that hotels.com could not reserve the room I requested and that I would need to request refund from them. I went back to wrong room, called hotels.com and miraculously the correct room opened up! Yeah for hotels.com

Cons: Room 708 must be very close to ventsbof some sort because there is a hum going on the whole day and night, which could affect quality or sleep.

Cons: There was no housekeeping during our 3 night stay which we were only told about at check in. I wouldn't have a problem with this as long as it was posted on the hotel website, but it's definitely not. Was told they would pick up trash placed outside the room by noon everyday, but there were no extra trash bags in the rooms. Sliding pocket door between toilet shower and sink kitchen area does not latch or properly close and toilet is right in front of the opening. And even though I checked in early (day before on the app) with notification of early check in, my room (and most others) were not ready until 3PM or later. Also, no late checkout for IHG members. Contract says if you don't want delivery of paper to your room, you would receive a credit to your bill every day. There was no paper delivery, and also no credit. Coffee in the breakfast area was awful during breakfast, and also awful plus cold when I tried to get a cup at 7pm. Apparently the coffee is not brewed into the carafes and instead brought out in a pitcher from the back and then poured into the carafe in the breakfast area. I used to work in a coffee shop, and many degrees of heat are lost in this process.

Cons: Front desk worker who checked me out rushed me and said he didn’t need to give me a receipt for my stay. There were only two towels in the room when we arrived. It was clearly cleaned I a hurry, as there were sticky spots on several surfaces and the carpets still had crumbs in them. There were no towels whatsoever at the pool when we went.

Cons: They don't have room service.

Cons: The hotel was very run down. Had broken table, ancient tv, and microwave. Free breakfast was a joke. Don't recommend staying there.

Cons: Breakfast not as good as I remember. Parking was limited. Loading/unloading lane was packed with overnight parking. The regular parking was all taken. We were sent across the street with a parking pass. When we went leave the attendant didn't recognize or no what to do with the pass. Luckily he let us through.

Cons: Elevators were constantly broken and the stairs were off limits so sometimes the weight for an elevator for 20-30 min

Cons: Price was extremely high during our stay

Cons: I booked a year in advance with Elite Status Priority Club status and was told when i checked in at 3:30 in the afternoon "all we have left is the second floor". The room was by the laundry room. We could hear the spin cycles all night long. It was also near some kind of outside air vent that sounded like a jet engine every time it turned off and on. It's one thing to get "the loud room" for a last minute booking, but disappointing when I booked a year in advance.

Cons: Breakfast was mediocre but it was free so you can't complain too much there. Decor was a little dated.

Cons: Shilo In is under construction. Do not stay here unless you absolutely have to. The front lobby is cold, the parking is behind the Shilo Inn (you have to walk around the block to access the parking). Construction in the building is from 7am - 7pm (noisy and don't even try to sleep in). After I got to the Shilo Inn, is when I realized how much work is being done, and I still paid full price.

Cons: No complaints whatsoever.

Cons: The hotel is under construction. It's getting a much needed update, but that meant construction noise and scaffolding outside my window. Wasn't a big deal.

Cons: My friend ended up getting food poisoning after eating the breakfast. Please make sure that your food is fresh. He got very little rest that night and ended up vomiting for most of the trip.

Cons: Parking was horrible. If you didn't get there in enough time, you were out of luck.

Cons: all else was bad. it smelled, our room had a whole in the ceiling and our bed had hair in it. The breakfast was bad and weird.

Cons: Staff was knowledgeable but a little slow, price was a high versus other locations of similar quality, not a modern or chic building but very serviceable.

Cons: I visited while the outside temp was 105 and the interior hallways to the rooms matched that or exceeded that. The room AC was great but the halls were too hot.

Cons: It would be nice if parking were included in the rate, but the $5.00 fee is reasonable & parking is secure.

Cons: Room was very small. Run down. Needs up dated. Not worth the money. Water hot then cold in shower. Staff was ok.

Cons: The old rooms and broken heater, loud refrigerator. Not the cleanest bedding.

Cons: Not a very big room, although I didn't need a lot of space as a solo business traveler. The bed wasn't the most comfortable I've slept in, but it could have been much worse. They offered the option to not wash the sheets every day if desired (in order to save water and resources), which I appreciated, but did not offer to do the same for the towels.

Cons: The room was very small, but as I was alone, that wasn’t an issue. It would have been tight with a second adult.

Cons: I've been staying at the plaza off and on for years, the pool/hot tub is always out of order or being maintained.

Cons: The water in the morning would be hot and then cold- not very comfortable!

Cons: booked because of free airport shuttle but they weren't operating.

Cons: I found a few stains on the upper part of the shower curtain, lack of space to put luggage down, and a cold draft coming from the balcony door even though it was closed. This was mainly due to the snow storm though.
