Grand America (The)

ok!. why does everyone talk about this place? its HIDEOUS! what blind bat put furniture in this hotel? the Lobby is so ugly.. those tea girl uniforms... why??? the girls are pretty, but those uniforms make them look like lamp shades!!! why don't you just dress them in tea pots mascot uniforms!!! seriously! I was embarrassed to bring my friends over for my shower... the service was lovely... we had a russian girl and another girl ( i forget from where) they looked alike, this was about a year and a half ago... they were both lovely girls... I made a comment about their uniforms and they laughed it off and said they hated it and it matched the curtains... clearly they were uncomfortable and embaressed, I felt bad for them, I was near your hotel the other day and it made me remember those god awful uniforms, so I came inside and saw that STILL the girls were dressed in that hideous thing.

please change the uniform.. ( glad you changed the doormen uniforms) the garden cafe are better.. but still make your waiters look weird!

for the sake of those girls who were so nice to me,change it.…

Not a place to work. The hotel is beautiful, but the management is sub par. They don't treat their employees very well and only care about the bottom line...money. You only get three paid holidays and no recognition program for those that work extra hours and extra hard. If they don't like you they will find any excuse to fire you.…

No respect at all for candidates that they show interest in. I had to wait up 5 weeks for a second interview, unhappily I was never contacted by a H.R manager, instead, one half a friend of mine used to call me and update me about the hiring process, which sucks because this friend was very irresponsible delivering messages from the manager to me.

The H.R was unaware about the total 3 interviews I' ve had. I called one manager who was very rude on the phone and I was told that he hired an internal candidate.…

Good by Utah Standards. The people of Utah are rightly proud of this hotel as it is the best they have. That's not saying much. It has no serious competition in state. If you come in from the mountains or the desert for your honeymoon or other special event, it will bl*w your cowboy boots off. But if you are an experienced and informed traveler..... and if you have stayed at REAL 4 and 5 star hotels, this hotel is nice to look at and is built of fine materials, however.... you always have the feeling that they are trying too hard to clone the real thing. Amenities close early. Utahns are still uptight about liquor and s*x. These attitudes permeate your visit in and out of the hotel. The TV offerings are well-screened so as not to be offensive to the temple crowd. And the local gentry's attitude about all these things (including this review) would be: "So what? That's the way we are and if you don't like it, go somewhere else. We don't need your kind around these parts." So, Paris it is not.

As an example, the first time I tried to post this review, it was rejected because it contained the words "bl*w" as in "bl*w your socks off", and "s*x" (missing letter e). Pretty racey, eh?

But the Grand America isn't terrible as poseurs go. Be prepared to spend a lot of money for a paper-thin veneer of luxury and back-country service.…
