AC Hotel by Marriott Salt Lake City Downtown

New, clean hotel with a modern decor. The hotel staff was friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this location for a downtown business, sightseeing and entertainment.

The AC Hotel brand is a study in design excellence. Everything from the materials, surfaces, fixtures, furniture and flow is SUPERB. I had a smallish room but it could not have been more comfortable, efficient or delightful. Excellent bed and bedding. Sink/bathroom setup was functional and beautiful. Lobby/bar/breakfast area are quietly gorgeous. And it all smells great. For $14 the breakfast is excellent; between the Nespresso (I’m a fan), great breads, manchego cheese, freshly sliced ham, and Spanish tortillas (like quiche, but better) you might as well be at a great hotel in Madrid or Barcelona. Front desk folks, in particular Amelia, were helpful and positively delightful. Even the lobby playlist is great. I was there for less than 24 hours but enjoyed every minute of the experience.

The free lobby coffee (as opposed to the coffee that comes with breakfast—thank you Nespresso) was not on point. I’d go so far to say it was almost undrinkable. Easy fix—up your coffee game to the rest of your hotel standards, AC, and you’ll be making US fans for life!
