I was requesting a late check out all morning via the messenger, and nobody responded. Then I arrived after 12 and the front desk clerk said it was close enough and I would be refunded 1-day. Then I returned to checkout and the manager overruled and declined my request. Saying it was past 12 - right in front of the clerk. Very disappointed as a Bonvoy Member....karl

AVOID

The rooms in this Marriott are very dated and beyond hope. The ceilings are very low and claustrophobic. The bathrooms were molding and the air system left me with a cough. The pay parking situation is absurd considering they have a park. they have a parking lot the size of Texas. After you check in, they require you to return to your cat and pay for parking online. I would never stay here again.

Riley at the front desk is extremely professional and went out of his way to help us. Our door battery went out and someone had to come change it out. Riley was a stand out, recommending restaurants in the area and talking with us about the University of Utah. We were in town for a college visit. All the front desk staff were amazing.
