Wouldn’t return

Lady that checked us in not friendly at all, didn’t know anything when we asked questions. No soap in room, no answer calling housekeeping. Good thing I had soap in travel bag. No ice in ice machine. Horrible smell in hallway, people smoking marijuana in parking lots. Room ok.

They have a scam to get extra money from all incoming guests…they have your room ready and charge you to get it prior to 4pm check in. I got to the hotel at 3:15 and they charged an extra $25 to check in prior to 4pm. Most if not ALL hotels have an 3pm check in and are happy to get you in if they can early, this hotel clearly sees it as an opportunity to add to the bottom line. Hotel itself is nothing more than the previous run down Hard Rock hotel with a name change. If they want to charge extra they should offer Extra. Hotel was under construction and didn’t have many choices for food. Unfortunate since I was initially happy to see this Hotel was making a home in SLT after positive experiences at Vegas location. I won’t return to this location.

Not staying there again

Customer service was not great, the hotel provided no washcloths and no soap, the shower had a low ceiling and the shower curtain would not stay closed which soaked the whole floor, the sink and tub did not drain well and there was no refrigerator or microwave.

Renovated rooms are nice

The photos used on hotels.com were misleading. The rooms look renovated online and then when we went to our room they were still looking like the hard rock theme but really run down. Our bathroom was dirty and the decor was a little weird. Elevators broke down and had to take stairs up to 6th floor. After we complained the front staff was really nice and moved us to their renovated rooms which I wish we were placed in the first place. Twenty dollar parking charge a night that wasnt mentioned on hotels.com.

Never Return or Recommend.

The whole place needs to be renovated, Carpet, bed, furniture were shabby. No refrigerator or microwave. Asked for a refrigerator and it never came. Sheets were thin and the pad covering the mattress was so stretched out the corners kept popping off creating a mess in the bed. Paying $700.00 for 2 nights for this horrible hotel was ridiculous. Had to pay for parking of $22.00 per day on top of that. Staff were not friendly and I sort of get that since it was a horrible place to stay and everyone was always complaining. On a good note the Saltgrass Steakhouse was great!
