The restaurants are the best! The food is delicious and the ambience is the definition of American restaurant hospitality.
I have been staying at Little America for many many years and I keep going back because there is nothing better.
Little America is centrally located in Salt Lake City's downtown area, we had booked our room in the Towers and thanks to Isaac at the front desk we were able to get a corner room on a higher floor, the views were incredible as was the room. The room was by any standard a suite, with a large bathroom and seating area that included a couch and two chairs. There was a balcony that overlooked the downtown area.
Initially, we had an issue with the hot water but Vince from engineering explained the issue and very quickly solved it. The pool is worth the visit, it’s a combination indoor/outdoor pool that was during our stay very clean as were the two hot tubs that we enjoyed daily, a sweet lady (Kiem) was there and she was very helpful.
The Utah State Capitol is a “walk” up the hill past Temple Square but if you want to get your steps in for the day it’s worth the hike, it is a beautiful structure inside and out. You can access most of the building and the pictures will be memorable. There are many amazing restaurants a short walk or light rail ride away from Little America, also worth noting is the “fare free zone” is just about all of downtown. The light rail was clean and not crowded but we did note few people wore mask on the light rail or in Salt Lake in general, that could be a cultural thing but worth knowing as the Covid crisis continues. Restaurants that we visited did adhere to Covid guidelines which was reassuring.
We took a number of day trips outside Salt Lake including Ogden, Park City and Jackson Hole, WY. Ogden and Park City were manageable but I must admit the 12-hour plus day (5 hour drive each way) was exhausting and I would not do it again. Jackson Hole was spectacular but it’s a heck of a drive and I needed a day to recover, thank goodness for the pool at Little America. On our next visit we will stay a day or two in Jackson Hole.
We had dinner in The Coffee Shop in Little America one night, the service was excellent and the quality of the food exceeded our expectations, having said that with so many quality restaurants in the area it’s worth the effort to explore.
Little America was a great experience, while many guest didn’t wear mask the hotel staff did, it was clean and despite the local culture Little America did their best to adhere to CDC guidelines. Given the time of our visit we were able to social distance and only twice stepped off an elevator due to the crowding and lack of mask wearing by other guest.
We highly recommend Little America for its staff, guest rooms and general ambience, we will return soon.
I arrived to my recent stay to find body hairs all over the bathroom floor, an unclean tub, dirty and fraying towels and general grime throughout the room. As it was a very late arrival I called the next morning to advise them of how poorly my room had been cleaned specifically noting these bathroom details and the response was “We’ll fix that” - no apology no embarrassed moment that a guest had experienced that type of reception. Later in my stay I ended up ordering room service, waiting well past (almost 2x as long the quoted arrival time) and called to query my order status being told “We have one server and were very busy”. Again, just disappointing service for what once was a great stay. And, since not a single thing in the place has been updated in 20 years it would be reasonable to expect they’d up the service experience to accommodate. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.
Air conditioner units barely working, Gapps around the door that a fly can come through, no refrigerator, microwave.
Truly One of the worst hotels we have stayed in; an old roadside motel would have been better or the Bates Motel.
You are given the feeling that you can't afford the ' Big House' unless you can cook or clean instead of chopping cotton down below
We will be contacting Amtrak with our concerns.
Room number 7173 should be avoided at all costs…. You WILL not get a good sleep because of the traffic noise. Little America should be ashamed to put guests in this room. This room and others like it should be used for storage or other usage that doesn’t involve human inhabitants. Or, at least warn people and give them the option to take the room at a much reduced rate… and provide them with ear plugs!
So, if you book a room here, ask specifically NOT to be placed in a garden suite that faces traffic.
On a positive note, bed was very comfortable and the shower had lots of hot water and great water pressure. We wish we could have gotten some sleep, as well.
The very small refrigerator is located in the bathroom right across from the toilet, awkward. The small coffee maker is also located in the bathroom across from the toilet. It’s rather inconvenient when someone is in the bathroom and you want to get something out of the fridge or make coffee.
Additionally, there is no fan in the bathroom so it gets very steamy and stays steamy for a while after a shower.
We stayed 4 nights and asked twice for housekeeping to come freshen our room (take out trash, freshen towels, etc.), but no one came. We ran out of toilet paper and after calling for it and telling them we were all out, an hour later someone brought some. Rather inconvenient when someone needed to use the toilet. We also called for fresh towels, again, an hour later someone showed up with a couple towels. It just seemed like they were not very concerned with guest service.
This was an ok place, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend to stay here.
