My husband and I had a wonderful three night stay at Parrish Place. Karin and Jeff were courteous, friendly and attentive. The breakfast basket was designed to please just about any appetite or special request and aired on a feeling of France. The bed was so comfortable that we both slept all night and were relaxed for our day trips... More

This B&B is really one of a kind – a patrican brownstone, over a century old, most of it original down to the fixtures (and the plumbing - but it works very well indeed...). The house is entirely decorated in early 20th century style, mixing Art Nouveau and the bourgeois furniture of the times. The very kind an discreet owners,... More

My four night stay was very relaxing. The owners were attentive and accommodating. The room was comfortable and quite unique. The location was excellent. I was in SLC to ski and the proximity to I 80 was a huge plus.

We stayed here for two nights on our arrival and one night on our departure. We arrived late on a Thursday, too late to get a bottle of wine for my birthday. Susie, our hostess, volunteered one of their own at no charge! That is going a step above in my opinion. The rooms are funky and unique as is... More

Jim, thank you for taking the time to review our B&B. When we upgraded the mattresses we did go with an extra pillowtop style and we now realize that the bed feels higher than normal. Next time around, we may choose to slimmer mattress given the feedback. Thanks again! More

We stayed here for one night on our way between Bryce Canyon and Yellowstone. The B&B is located in a quiet neighbourhood location a stone's throw away from the interstate so was very easy to get to. We were met with a warm welcome from the owner. The room was a good size with a fantastic bed and a (newly... More

My husband and I went on a last minute stay-cation here over Labor Day. The price was great (special). The room was nicely decorated, with a private entrance and parking spot. The bed was comfortable. The on suite had a huge jetted tub that was nice. Now to the average rating part. The room wasn't dirty but there were cobwebs... More

My wife and I stayed at Parish Place for three nights in August 2010. A very nice stay made even more so by owner/operators Jeff and Karin. I then stayed for three nights in Feb 2011 when skiing up in Park City. Again, a fine stay with Jeff and Karin! This last trip, during the week of 22 July 2012,... More

Parrish Place is close to the Interstate and to downtown Salt Lake City. Room was great value. The breakfast basket was new to us. We prefer to sit down with other guests and the innkeepers at breakfast time.

We decided to celebrate our one year anniversary at the Parrish Place and truly enjoyed our experience. The bed was so comfortable--it was the first time in a long time that I have woken up without feeling like I needed to have my back adjusted. The breakfast was delicious and healthy and the hosts were delightful. We're hoping to be... More
