Hampton Inn Salt Lake City Cottonwood UT
The room was clean. Staff was super nice and very attentive. The toilet paper in our room was half-used when we arrived, but not a huge deal. The pillows also were a little flat. Other than that, the environment was welcoming, the room was comfortable, and we had a great stay!

Hyatt Place Salt Lake City/Cottonwood
I like to stay with hotels that offer continental breakfast and this hotel is the FIRST that does NOT include muffins or sweet bread. They had them for sale for $5.00. The rest of the breakfast choices was ok. I also had to buy dinner there in order to have a beer. Did appreciate the cleanliness ...
