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.

Good stay in Salt Lake...

Liked: I was grateful Marriott was able to have our family rooms next to each other. It made the trip much easier. We found a great breakfast place just down the street on the left (east side of street) - Hash Kitchen (on Foothill Drive a couple blocks toward I-80)
Disliked: I would like parking included in booking fee. The lot was fine, next to hotel, but I'd rather have that amenity included in the total room fee.

Poor - 1.5 out of 5

William Sun, 24 August 2025

Never will return

Liked: Location was good.
Disliked: Front desk staff uncaring. We had been flying for 18 hours. Arrived five hours before check in. Asked for early check in and was told by two front desk staff that we were in a wait list. Sat inobby of clear sight of staff. Room was ready but never told. Sat for 4.85 hours only going up to desk when seeing others who came in after us get their rooms. Would never return.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Alexandr Sat, 23 August 2025

Normal things are a big...

Disliked: The parking is through some privacy-invading 3rd-party website with a lengthy, terrible privacy policy and terms of service; they will store your credit card info (you can't opt out), they won't accept any prepaid cards, and they will sell all your personal info. How on earth did the world turn into this? That you need 3rd-party scammers to pay for parking at a hotel?If you forget something in your room, it's another problem - again, you have to make a claim via a 3rd-party website, agree with their TOS, etc., and even then you get to the reception after everything was arranged, the item was found, and you notify them in advance, and there is nothing ready, and some rude receptionist starts patronizing you about the procedure (which was already completed!!!!) and claiming that it will take forever in an unpleasant voice? SERIOUSLY??? Is there something wrong with Marriott in general? Or Marriott in Salt Lake City? Because I asked another one a simple question and they ignored it for 2 weeks. I'm trying a different chain next time.
