Ok this hotel is centrally located in Salt Lake , close walking distance to all the main action. The hotel rooms are spacious and super comfortable , the pool was excellent has an indoor / outdoor portion. the lobby is very cool and inviting. Staff are excellent , helpful and very nice to deal with. Fodd also was great. Salt Lake is a great place to visit as well. I found the rooms also went well with the overall decor of the hotel.

Enter to find a majestic lobby and attentive bellhops to take your luggage. Great first impression. But the stodgy old-fashioned decor in the rooms and hallways, and lapses in service will tell a tale that is reflected only too well in the rotting mirror panels around the elevator doors: that this perhaps once great hotel is past its prime, and needs renewal, in both renovations and some shaping up by the staff - lest its guests find their stay unmemorable, or worse, memorable for the wrong reasons.

If you want the gory details, read on.

The room: incredibly spacious, but it took me a while to get over the shock from the decor. Imagine a monster swallowing a Louis XIV interior, a Barbie dollhouse and a dash of the 1950's, and regurgitating the lot with some stomach acids. It actually didn't look as bad under incandescent light, but under the initial fluorescent light it was depressing. I got flashbacks of being dragged by my mom into a flea market held in an old, hot, cramped eighteenth-century building in Paris as a six-year old, miserable and bored to tears. Or visiting very old relatives and feeling uncomfortable the whole time, at about the same age.

The service: once in our room, we wait a while for our luggage. Call the front desk a few times, they say they LOST it - even as we recall crossing the bellhop pushing the cart on the elevator (to be fair, he didn't get in so as not to crowd us). Over half an hour later, he finally finds us, almost late enough to make us miss the dinner we had planned that night. A symptom of things to come: the front desk greets our calls obsequiously but we need to call them twice or more for every request (missing bathrobe; faucet leaks; bathtub doesn't drain - though some of this is the building getting old and might not be easily fixed); the different parts of the staff (front desk, housekeeping, etc.) don't seem to talk to each other (the jacuzzi is open - no, it's not - yes, it is). And I was particularly infuriated by the hotel staff member who, upon delivering the missing bathrobe, poked his head in to sneak a peek at my girlfriend lying half-naked on the bed, despite my clearly standing in the way to protect our privacy!

Amenities: the jacuzzi and heated pool were great, but that they were overrun at any hour by drunken guests and hordes of out-of-control kids was a bit off-putting. Not directly the hotel's fault, obviously, but an awkward experience nonetheless.

My wife & I were in town to see a play. We road our bikes 40 miles in to Salt Lake City. The hotel was very accommodating. They stored our bikes over night for us. Rooms were clean, safe and comfortable. My wife loved the decor. Seemed to be lots of families there but no hallway noise. Showers had great water pressure, which was great for my sore mussels. Slept very well. Room was on the street level; however there was no street noise. Had a good breakfast the next morning in the dinning room.

I just got back from a three-night stay at the Little America Hotel, and I was pleasantly surprised. Given that we booked our room through Hotwire for $77 a night, I wasn't sure what to expect. Although the room decor is dated, it's still in great condition. We stayed in one of the garden rooms. Our room wasn't as large as some of the rooms pictured on their website, but it was very clean.
The two best things about the Little America are the location and the pool. The hotel is within walking distance of downtown (or you can take the tram for free), and the pool is an indoor/outdoor, all-seasons pool.
Overall, I have no complaints at all. I really went into our stay thinking this hotel wouldn't be very nice, and I'm glad to say I was totally wrong.
