Description: The Anniversary in on South Temple Street in SLC, is located in an older mansion that has been refurbished as an inn with themed rooms. The building itself has a rustic quality about it, with narrow staircases, a gabled roof, uniquely shaped rooms, and real keys. We stayed in the Enchanted Forest room on the third floor. The bed was a "four-poster bed" placed between the trunks of four "trees" with a leaf-top canopy. Tree roots served as steps to climb up onto the raised bed. The walls were painted to look like a forest complete with deer. From the bed, you looked into a "cottage" that housed the rest of the suite: a small table with two chairs, a clothing closet, a full sink area, a toilet closet, and a Jacuzzi/shower combo. The Jacuzzi tub was small and fairly old, but it was in fine working order. The shower looked old, but was heavenly. A halo of water came straight down from the hanging shower ring (about 1 foot diameter). An angled flat screen TV was on the roof of the cottage. The TV could be used to listen to romantic music, watch Direct TV, or a DVD/Blue-Ray. The accommodations were comfortable, clean, and cozy.
We've also been to the inn on 1000 E. in Salt Lake City and stayed in the Jackson Hole Suite. The bed was a covered wagon with Old West decor around the room. The saloon style doors led to a Jacuzzi tub with a shower created from water flowing out of bottles placed on a shelf above the tub.
Although the exterior of this building wasn't as quaint, it was newer and had a wider selection of room choices.
Rating: 4 stars (out of 5) - mainly because the Wi-Fi didn't work in our room
Things You Should Know: - The Anniversary Inn gives tours of its suites from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm daily.
- A small fridge is provided in each room, with two pieces of complimentary cheesecake for an evening snack. You are also provided with a complimentary bottle of sparkling cider on ice. The water bottles, however, cost extra.
- Breakfast is served at the hour of your choosing. You simply choose an entree and two drinks (per person) and turn your order in to the front desk by 10:00 pm the night before. It will be delivered on a tray outside your door at the appointed hour. The selection was somewhat limited (6 items), and the portions small, but the food was good. You could also order extra entrees for a reasonable price ($3).
- The front desk had a selection of DVDs that we could borrow (free) for the evening.
- My wife forgot to pack her toothbrush. Luckily, the front desk provided a cheap one (new) that she was able to use free of charge.
- All suites are designed for two people. Children and pets should be left home.
- No open flames are allowed in any of the suites (including candles and cigarettes). LED tealights are allowed.
- The inn we stayed at only had one internet router, so not all of the rooms were able to pick up the Wi-Fi signal.
- You can purchase additional packages to make your stay more enjoyable. These are popular honeymoon gifts. To review the list of options, go to: http://www.anniversaryinn.com/gift-shop
- We were able to purchase a $100 gift card (for ourselves) at a reduced price ($70 at Costco).
