Marriott’s MountainSide

Been coming here for 8 years now and this new staff is the best ever. The renovation is nice and on par with the price range of this facility. Has everything you need for families and you can’t best ski in/​ski out! But again, the staff was GREAT and they really took great care of us and showed interest in helping us have a nice stay. Thank you and kudos to then all.

One star because it’s ski in/​out. My husband is a Marriott gold member and we’ve stayed in quite a few different Marriott locations. By far the worse.
1. Our room smells like poop and their excuse is, «It’s located near the pipes».
2. The outlets in our bathroom did not work and my husband had to hold up an iPad so I can see myself doing my hair in the corner (blow dryer)
3. In order to fix the smell in the room, we had to be out of it for 2 hours each day
4. When we came back after the smell was ‘fixed’ the staff left out door open with credit cards, laptops, snowboards and expensive items
After #4 I got nasty and asked that our room be comped for the evening. Nope! They would rather inconvenience us and have us, pack up our luggage and move to another room.
For the service, this hotel is overpriced. We will not be returning to this particular Marriott. Please do not get me wrong, we have always had GREAT experiences with Marriott locations. This one, in particular = not good.

We’ve been coming to the Marriott MountainSide for 13 years, and it’s always been a good experience. However, this is NOT the resort for everyone. Read on…
First off, if you’re looking to book a quiet getaway, a romantic vacation, or a tranquil break, keep on looking. This place will not meet your needs. Though they book rooms like a regular resort, this facility is also a time share. That means the place is usually bursting with families.
In our experience, grandma and grandpa seem to own the timeshare, and they bring ALL the kids and grandchildren along. This means for every adult or two, there will be three or four children. Some parents completely turn the kids loose to run around the property, so it’s not a huge surprise when the kiddos use the elevators like an amusement park ride, run down the halls, and crowd the common areas. The pools, the hot tubs, the gym and the recreation room will be bursting with kids from 8:00 am to 11:00 pm. Want to make a s’more around the fire pit or sample some of the complimentary chili? Prepare to fight with preteens for a spot.
Now, if you’re looking to travel with your own family, this kind of atmosphere will probably be just what you’re looking for. If you were hoping for quiet adult time, welcome to hell.
The facilities themselves are very nice. They’re good about constantly updating things, and they’ve recently completed a major remodel. The new color scheme is very modern and all the rooms have nice appliances, granite counters, and comfortable furniture. The rooms facing the valley or the pools have nice views, but the rooms on the back side of the resort essentially have no view at all (they butt up to the face of a very steep mountain – it’s like staring at a wall).
We don’t ski, so we come in the off season. The shops and other activities surrounding the resort are mostly in sleep mode, if even open at all. I understand that it’s actually quite busy during the winter, though.
So, it’s really nice place for the right kind of visitor. Our kids love it. And if we were to visit without them, we would absolutely stay somewhere else.

Been coming here for about 15 years and we love it! Everything is wonderful EXCEPT the beds are hard as a rock. My whole family complains about them.

Thank you MountainSide for rescuing us from the Marriott Park City SideWinder. We were in a spacious, redecorated 1 bedroom suite. Beautiful!
We also loved «hopping» the many whirlpool spas, great setup! FYI — it is rare that I am compelled to go in public whirlpool spas.
Very relaxing, we enjoyed the stay! Looking forward to staying again during ski season.

Let’s make this quick since you’re scrolling through reviews looking for a hotel…
Location– AWESOME! Out the door and you’re on the slopes. Located a few blocks from the center of town.
Price– Awesome if you rent somebody’s timeshare :)
Staff– terrific!
Great for kids… Kids club and all sorts of activities.
Zero complaints!
My family will certainly return!

I have stayed at this resort a number of times with my family and it seems like every time i come back it gets a little worse. As of yet i have been here two nights and both of those night there has been a fire alarm that went of in the early morning (2 and 3 A.M.). I have never had a fire alarm go off in any hotel i have ever stayed at prior to this. They stated that the first was due to a malfunction in their system and it was an isolated event, only affecting the rooms around ours. the second was for the entire building which they said was caused by a broken water main in the basement. stopped writing here as I was informed the head engineer was ready to talk to me and my father. There was a number of other things wrong– women’s steam room was broken, 1 of 2 fire pits didn’t work (fixed while I was here), and the provided humidifiers had a disgusting amount of calcium build up (actually didn’t work at all until I personally cleaned them). Greg I think his name was (might be confusing him with the front desk manager) was very nice and apologetic. He said it was the «perfect storm» and that stuff like this almost never happens. The front desk manager said he would provided compensation of some sort but has yet to deliver. Other than those disappointments it’s a very nice hotel.

Overall we had a great experience. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Proximity to the Payday lift was awesome. There is always a lot of things going on as far as children’s activities are concerned. I also wanted to point out that my child became ill and had to go to an ER in Salt Lake City. The property’s graveyard shift front desk person (Steve) went out of the way to call around taxi companies at 3 AM and was able to get us a driver who came to pick us up in the early dawn. Thank you Steve!

It’s our home away from home!”
We’ve been staying here ever since it’s doors first opened in ¹⁹⁹⁹⁄₂₀₀₀. We love this place and return just about every year. The rooms are nice, the people are friendly, and it’s located slope side. There’s also a wonderful gym and pool area. It’s a great family resort!
The beauty of this property is that there is covered parking. Unless you’re driving in (like we usually do), there’s really no need for a car once you get up here. There are times that we have not touched the car for days as mostly everything is reachable by the great shuttle system they have (which is free!). A walk into town isn’t really too far, either. There is also shopping and dining at the base area.
The mountain is a great place for people to learn. We ski here year after year and never get bored. This is one trip we’re always look forward to! We love spending our vacations here with our friends.

This is a fantastic resort with full accommodations for families, the rooms have a full kitchen and gigantic bathtubs (you literally could fit four people into the them). Their is a large pull out sofa which can sleep three children easily, there are doors separating the bedroom which is great for privacy after they go to sleep. Rooms also have a washer and dryer combination so you can do laundry if you want to bring less clothing and do your own.
There is a daily activity list for children which is great, if featured movies, horseback riding and whit water rafting. Only negative is no room service, there are restaurants if you walk of property a small bit. This is a great family resort with plenty for everyone.

This is a great family resort. There are lots of activities each day geared towards kids of various ages. Our 1 bedroom unit was beautiful, clean, & well appointed with everything you could possibly need for a week’s stay. The pool was great, although a bit cold for our little kids. There are several hot tubs, 2 of which are designated for kids under 5 which is nice for families with small children. I would highly recommended this resort, especially for families. If you are a couple looking for a romantic getaway or want peace & quiet this may not be the place, but for families it’s great.

No complaints, great hotel! Rented 2 villas room and plenty of room for our family of 5. Nice swimming pool and 6 hot tubs!
We didn’t know you could BBQ your own meat by the pool, awesome! Big families everywhere, great for families!

The pool and hot tubs are awesome. Tons of activities for you and the kids. Going to try the zip line and alpine slide. Tons of fun.

Nice resort, probably really nice in the winter during ski season, for the right person. It was the wrong place for me. And none of the stores, and almost no restaurants were open when I was there (Memorial Day Weekend and the week after). The Plaza near the hotel was creepy and everything was closed. I have been in the area during ski season, and there are tons of things to do right there, but not at this time of year. You have to take the bus, drive or walk into Old Town. The bus is free, but there is limited parking, except in the parking garages. If you find a place on the street, it is all pay to park. Since I walked or took the bus from the resort, I am not sure about the parking garages. They have been free to park in the past.
I have stayed in Park City many times, and usually at Prospector Square, where it is close enough to walk into Old Town, but pretty quiet at the times I have been there (May). This year tried the Marriott. Big mistake. The room had only a microwave and a small refrigerator, and only plates, cups, glasses, so «cooking» was out of the question. And there was a two person breakfast bar, but no table. That was a surprise. And that is why I stay in a condo, so that I don’t have to eat every meal in restaurants. I was able to get a blender to make my shakes in the morning, so that was good.
The pool was so full of families (mostly kids) that I didn’t even try to get into it. The hot tub that was labelled «adult» and «quiet» was ok one time I tried it, but the next day the men sitting in the hot tub were so chatty, I couldn’t «chill» like I wanted to. This is the hot tub farthest from the mayhem that is the pool. And there are other hot tubs, so they could have gone there (I think there might even be three of them).
I specifically asked for a «quiet» room location, as I was there on business, and needed to work. The first night there was a crying baby not too far down the hall. On the Saturday before I left, after a lot of people had signed in, teen age kids were running up and down the hall at midnight.
The resort has lots of activities you can try, including movies four times a day. I didn’t partake of any of the activities, any many of them are free. The gym had the equipment I needed, and a sauna that I didn’t try.
My only reason for not returning to the resort is based on the fact that it caters primarily to families. When I travel for business I need a place where my sleep will not be disturbed, and where I can go to the pool and not have it so full of kids that I don’t want to get in. It is a nice resort for the majority of people who choose to stay there, but was not the right choice for me.

Pros
Beautiful views
Over-​sized soaking tub in upgraded room
Fully stocked kitchen
5 hot tubs and one that’s kid friendly
kids activity room
close to Main Street
Cons
No rooms service which means you have to get up early and drive to breakfast, hunt down coffee and buy groceries for your stay
bottled water in room that has a fine print, $ 2 each.
No room service, did I mention this is a serious bummer?
I loved my stay and had a great time but the lack of room service is making me reconsider staying again. At $ 700 a night It is something I definitely expect. I think next time I will be staying at the regular Marriott as opposed to the resort. Over all it was a fun experience and I did love the hot tubs and great views.

Booked this for Sundance and it was the best decision ever. LOVED everything about it. Location was phenomenal, suites were clean and nice and the entire place was vibrant with life.
If you are coming to Sundance next year try to book this as soon as possible, you won’t regret it.

$ 500/​night is just exorbitant, it is a very nice, pretty standard, time share hotel, in a great location. What does stand out are the hot tubs, they are great! LED lights, cheesy soft jazz music.
We stayed during the Sundance film festival and frequently caught the park city shuttle, which goes all over park city. The shuttle stops next door at the park city mountain resort, so the location was convenient and a car is not really necessary.

You can still feel the energy of the Winter Olympics as you walk through the park! Loved this place! Definitely Returning! Just be sure to check price options between rooms!
Our grad school friends plan a ski trip every year. This year, we went to Park City with 12 other families of 4pp+.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! The best part of this hotel is Location! Ski-​In, Ski-​out access to amazing slopes in a former Olympic venue! What more can you ask for?? You walk out of the hotel and the ski lift is right there. For the non-​skiiers, the hot tubs and pool overlook the ski slopes so you can watch your friends! LOVE soaking in the hot tub after a long ski day, watching the other skiers and enjoying the stunning views of the Wasatch Mountain around us.
ACCOMMODATIONS: One or Two Bedroom Units available with full kitchen, separate living and dining areas, TVs, and more. Most studios can accommodate a family of four easily with a king sized bed and a pull out sofa. The One Bedroom units easily support families of 4 – 5. If you are lucky enough to get two adjoining units, you end up with a two bedroom suite with a full kitchen, kitchenette, laundry and room for almost nine people! Plenty of space! We had 8 rooms at one point in every combination.
SKIING: Fantastic slopes. Access to almost every level. And just around the corner from the adorable «Magic Carpet» instruction area for the little ones!!!
PRICING: It can be VERY pricey depending on the time of year. We found that for our one week stay, it was actually cheaper to rent the two bedroom unit than get two individual rooms. Be sure to check your options!

we decided 3 years ago that park city would become a destination spot for our annual snowboarding trips.
in 2010, we stayed at this marriott for the first time and again this year.
we skipped last season, unfortunately.
the name of this hotel really says it all.
***mountainside***
in other words, you walk out of the hotel and the lift is right in front of you.
this is the main reason why we enjoy staying here.
when it comes to snowy mountain resorts, location is key.
being close to the mountain is important to us.
it’s also only a short drive to the canyons and deer valley as well so you definitely have choices here.
the hotel is located within a small village with a few shops and restaurants.
it is also very close to main street where you can find many more shops, good eats and nightlife.
the rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean.
each room has a kitchen and laundry which come in handy if you plan to stay for an extended period.
having a kitchen is really convenient especially if you’re not interested in eating out 3 times a day while on vacation.
again, the location is so convenient that there are a couple of grocery stores within a short drive — whole foods being one of them.
there is also an outlet mall about 5 minutes away, just in case you forgot some stuff or just need to pick up some extra gear, etc.
there are multiple hot tubs on-​site with grotto style waterfalls so we usually have no problem finding a spot to unwind.
the pool is also nice but usually too cold during the winter season for us to try out.
the gym facilities are spacious with many machines as are the locker room facilities which are well kept and clean.
the parking is convenient as they offer a covered parking garage with direct access into the hotel itself.
the service has always been stellar here as well.
i suppose it helps to be a marriott elite member but they’ve always allowed us a late check-​out as well as a key to the locker facilities to change after our last day of riding.
we’ve also been given rooms facing the mountain each time we’ve stayed here.
fantastic views!
definitely our go-​to resort in park city.

Let’s be honest here: paying up for a suite is EXPENSIVE! Especially when it’s for a family of 5 during winter break where everyone wants in on the snowy holiday vacation.
But it was so worth it.
Marriott’s Mountainside is located conveniently RIGHT next to the Park Mountainside Resort aka snowy mountain slope paradise! Service was efficient albeit with a few hiccups but those problems were solved quickly so they aren’t really worth mentioning.
I loved that I could access everything I needed including the resort, the mini-​market in the village for small things, the free public transit stop to go anywhere I pleased etc.
A few things you might want to keep in mind:
* If you rent your board or skis from Slopeside Sports and you are staying at the Marriott’s Mountainside, you get 20% off your bill at the end of your rental!
* you can store your rented board/​skis on the 2^nd floor. You can access this floor straight from outside, but you need your room card key!
*You need your room key to access the 24 hour small but convenient recreation center.
* If you need to go to a market, you can walk to the Village where all the bus stops are and easily access A-​Fresh Market for your basic needs. To get back, make sure the bus you take heads back to Park City Mountain Resort. To go towards Main Street for a little window shopping or fine dining, take the bus that takes you towards Main Street/​Deer Valley.
* you can contact the concierge for advice or extra blankets, or even laundry detergent! How cool is that :)
So convenient indeed. Will be coming around again if we’re in Park City for the slopes!
