Anniversary Inn - South Temple

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved this place! The rooms were so fun and unique, and the staff was very kind and helpful. My only issue was that the stairs up to the bathtub in my room (the third floor jungle suite) were very small and slightly sloped, so it was kinda hard to get in and out of the tub. It seemed like the other rooms I saw probably don't have this issue? But all in all would definitely stay again!"

Mayehouse by Stylish Stays

8/10 Good

"The room was nice it was nice to have covered parking but to try to get in was absolutely it took us over an hour and three people trying to help us to get in to get to the room to get the garage open once we got that it works smoothly"
