Sounds GRAND doesn’t it?
But wait, there’s more!
Italian marble bathrooms
17th Century Flemish tapestries
Handcrafted Richelieu furniture
It is GRAND!
My husband and I spent a delightful night here (thanks to my employer who provided us with this gift!)
It was beautiful and glorious and is Salt Lake’s only AAA Five Diamond Hotel.
I sometimes forget what a beautiful valley we live in, but the ceiling to floor window provided a view of the city and mountains that I usually take for granted.
Of course, I immediately checked out the little fridge & being the cheapskate that I am, removed the Evian ($3.50) in order to chill my Arrowhead ($0.25). The tiny, classy bottle of Diet Coke ($3.50) got pushed aside for my 16 oz bottle($0.40) with the proper Coke-bottle-curves.
The Grand America has something for EVERYONE, as evidenced by the thoughtful items for sale in the little cabinet next to the fridge (of course I had to take photos, but only had my phone camera):
FIRST AID KIT $6 (two bandages, two Tylenol™, two antihistamines, two antacids, one antiseptic towelette)
INTIMACY KIT $6 (the contents of this kit are…intimate)
DECK OF CARDS $10 (playing Solitaire is a lonely, expensive business—not to mention, a solitary one)
They think of everything (except the beds in the New Orleans Marriott are much more comfortable) and the best rating I can give it is this one: We will return to this GRAND place—on our own dime next time (or dollar or credit card, as the season warrants).
