We had to call them and have them turn the water back on constantly, then the shower was a trickle at best. To the point where several of us were late for an event because we could not take showers. Something bit me three times in the bed (I have pictures) and then they told half of our crew they were gonna move them to a different floor in the middle of our stay to accommodate a basketball team. I thought that was really rude, like we were less important. And that's by far the most uncomfortable bed i've ever slept in. The whole event can't wait to go home. $715 for a miserable stay.

The only reason I'm rating Salt and Stone with two stars instead of one is that the young woman who waited on our table this evening was very cordial and attentive to us. Otherwise, the experience was dismal.
The tone was set by the young woman who is the hostess. She could not have been ruder, more unfriendly and uncivil. Though the four of us, a group of elderly people, could not have been more polite to her, she was impatient and curt, treating us as if we were a bother when we asked to be shown a booth before we chose our seating. Not a smile one the entire time she dealt with us, and not a single word of welcome: disgraceful behavior for someone in her position….
The person greeting customers at any establishment is critically important. She or he provides a make-or-break experience for one's entire time in an establishment. This young woman needs to understand that if she lives long enough, she, too, will one day be old, and may find herself appalled at being treated unkindly solely due to her age.
All this, and the food is mediocre and overpriced. My rigatoni with meat sauce featured overcooked pasta and bland meat sauce.
I have stayed at the City Creek Marriott routinely for several days on each of my yearly visits to Salt Lake. I've long enjoyed the quiet restaurant on their main floor, which now has a new name, a new menu, and, I suppose, new management. Tonight's experience was disappointing, and the most elderly member of our group, who was treated more rudely than any of us by the hostess, spent a pretty penny for all of our meals.
But we won't be back on subsequent trips to Salt Lake….

I stopped in for a nice dinner here in SLC, and was very pleasantly surprised by this unique little gem. Classic tavern accoutrements with a refined yet varied menu. I had the Rigatoni Bolognese, and the sauce had pork and beef, both seasoned well and the Bolognese was very flavorful. There was a touch of heat in the meat - just enough to carefully bring out some of the spice in the wonderful Argentinian Malbec that I had to accompany it. There were careful tiny dollops of ricotta to cool the palette. And of course freshly grated Parmesan gives a slight sharp edge that has me grinning. To finish, I had a wonderful coconut sorbet and the prosecco. A sweet finish after an earthy meal! Let me commend the service which was present and attentive and knowledgeable about the menu without hovering. And very personable. I really enjoyed seeing some of the seasonal flavors highlighted on the menu and I want to come back and try them. There are some Niman Ranch pork chops or a flatiron steak with shishitos and a chimichurri that pique the interest.

We recently stayed at the Marriot City Creek in SLC and ventured downstairs to find something to eat for dinner. While wandering around the lobby, we spotted this gem of a restaurant that was quiet, intimate and full of class. We were welcomed by our server Chandra who with a huge smile placed us at the table of our choice, she offered recommendations for our dinner and everything was simply delicious. Chandra also brought us the best Malbec of the house, which made the evening simply unforgettable! We can't wait to go back to Salt Lake and visit Salt Stone for another great dining experience!

The service is exceptional. The atmosphere is classic and welcoming. The food and drinks are good but not amazing. We found the exterior of the cheese on the meat and cheese tray to be hard as if it had been prepared earlier and not fresh. We were told it would be a total of five cheeses and meats, but it was only four. The artichoke dip was perfect. The pasta was okay, as were the scallops and shrimp, however, the sauces were underwhelming. The service did lift the entire meal. This is not a place that can carry itself on the food alone.

After many stays at the Marriott I finally decided to try their restaurant, and I was missing out their great food. I liked the restaurant elegant style. Really good service. The steak was delicious and the broccolini really well seasoned. Kudos to the chef!

The Pastrami eggs benedict on croissant with fry sauce hollandaise was lovely! They have some outstanding hot sauces, juices and coffee options really nice. Great location, incredibly friendly and smiley staff.

Kind of mediocre buffet, but it is what you should expect out of a convention hotel. We had business at the salt lake convention center and ate breakfast once. It included a buffet breakfast. Just okay options, but all you can eat.
Service was good but the food was just ok. Had the carbonara and the shrimp tacos.Carbonara was underseasoned and the fish tacos were too spicy. I think the salsa was made with just jalapeños and pineapple.

Breakfast buffet was serviceable but not as nice a spread as most Marriotts. Pretty ridiculous that an omelette is an additional $2 upcharge.
