The Spotlight on Salt Lake City Marriott University Park

Comfort Meets Convenience Near the Heart of Salt Lake City

Modern and welcoming, the Salt Lake City Marriott University Park is tucked into a peaceful corner of Salt Lake City’s east side. Surrounded by mountain views and just minutes from downtown, this 3-star hotel offers a laid-back yet polished vibe with plenty of room to relax between shows. With free WiFi, on-site dining, and a 24-hour front desk, it’s a solid home base for your music-filled getaway.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the hotel’s location—just a short ride from downtown venues and the University of Utah campus. Whether you're heading to a stadium show or an intimate gig, you’ll be close without being caught in the post-show traffic crush. Rooms are quiet and well-insulated, making it easy to crash after a loud night. Flexible check-in at 3:00 PM and a generous noon check-out gives you time to sleep in. Plus, with reliable rideshare access and public transport nearby, late-night returns are easy.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a comfortable crash pad
  • Solo travelers catching that once-in-a-lifetime tour
  • Couples making a weekend of live music and mountain views
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to skimp on comfort

Food and Drink Options

On-site dining is a plus here. The hotel’s restaurant serves up a mix of American fare, and you can enjoy a buffet, à la carte, or made-to-order breakfast—perfect after a late night. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the hotel does offer room service during regular hours, and you’ll find plenty of walkable dining options or quick delivery nearby.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, it’s close to plenty of nightlife in downtown SLC. You’ll find bars, lounges, and intimate music venues just a short drive or ride-share away. Want something more low-key? Grab a drink on the hotel’s relaxing terrace or unwind in the shared lounge.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff and the quiet, clean rooms, especially after a night out. Many mention the mountain views and proximity to both nature and city life. Reviewers also highlight the hotel’s reliable WiFi and comfy beds, which are key when you're recovering from a high-energy concert.

Areas for Improvement

Some travelers mention that the property feels a little dated in spots, and the dining options could stay open later to cater to post-show cravings. But overall, these are minor trade-offs for the comfort and location.

The Bottom Line

With its quiet vibe, late check-out, and easy access to Salt Lake City’s music scene, Salt Lake City Marriott University Park is a smart pick for concert-goers wanting both comfort and convenience.

Exceptional

Liked: The people were lovely. My daughter's mobility service dog was with us, and everyone was great--he really loved the hotel and is pretty picky. The people at Starbucks even helped my daughter bring coffee to the room because she couldn't carry everything herself.
Disliked: We had appetizers at the restaurant. They were fine, not great, but not bad for hotel food.

An excellent jump-off point for...

Liked: The building, and room, were very clean and well maintained. Nothing in the room felt dirty or needing replaced. Staff was very friendly and efficient, and were happy to assist us with an early check-in.
Disliked: The community microwave available at the front desk was very dirty. Aside from that, the stay was very pleasant!

not happy

Liked: Should have a free buffet breakfast and 24/7 coffee!!
Disliked: I was 2 hours too long in the parking lot while I attended my grand daughters graduation from University of Utah. No room to park at the college...total BS as the lot was not near full!! I WON'T BE BACK when my grandson graduates!! I will also be passing this on to Marriott headquarters!!
