This is a nice clean hotel, up to the standards that one would expect from Marriott. It was very conveniently located to U of U hospital which I needed. It was a nice reprieve and a peaceful place to decompress after being in the hospital with family. My only issue is that the toilet in 412 ran all the time.

Room was clean, check-in was easy, timely, friendly. The only thing not ideal is the on-site dining - nothing that’s open all day, only at specific breakfast, lunch, or dinner times, which didn’t really work with our schedule.
