Alaska Airlines runs daily flights into Salt Lake City International, and whether you're on a layover, deadheading, or traveling for training at a regional office, downtown SLC is where you want to be. Corporate code A70 drops your nightly rate by roughly 15% at a well-rated Marriott property just 10 minutes from the airport. That discount stacks with your Bonvoy earnings, which matters when you're logging dozens of hotel nights a year.
The Property
The Salt Lake City Marriott City Center sits at 220 South State Street, right in the middle of downtown's business and dining district. It's a 10 minute drive, about 10.4 kilometers, from Salt Lake City International Airport via I-80 East. The hotel carries a 4.4 rating across 1,590 reviews, which puts it among the more consistently well-reviewed full-service properties in the city.
Rooms at this Marriott follow the brand's current full-service standard with dedicated work desks, ergonomic chairs, and reliable Wi-Fi suitable for filing reports or joining video calls. King and double-queen configurations are available, with upper floors offering views of the Wasatch Mountains to the east. Expect around 325 to 375 square feet in a standard room, which is typical for a downtown Marriott of this tier.
The hotel has an indoor pool and a fitness center that stays open late, both useful if you're adjusting to a schedule change after a flight. On-site dining is available, and the lobby lounge serves as a reasonable spot for a quick meal without venturing outside. There is no complimentary breakfast at standard rates, but elite Bonvoy members at Platinum tier and above receive breakfast benefits.
Temple Square and the Salt Palace Convention Center are both within a five minute walk, making this a practical base for conferences or client meetings in the downtown core. Restaurants along Main Street, including options like Red Iguana's downtown location and Takashi for sushi, are within easy walking distance. TRAX light rail stops nearby and connects directly to the airport for about $2.50, which is a solid backup if you prefer not to rideshare.
Your Savings Breakdown
| Rate Tier | Rack Rate | Corporate Rate | Points Earned | Point Value | Net Cost | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $130 | $111 | 1,110 pts | $8.88 | $102.12 | $27.88 |
| Superior | $210 | $179 | 1,790 pts | $14.32 | $164.68 | $45.32 |
| Premium | $340 | $289 | 2,890 pts | $23.12 | $265.88 | $74.12 |
A typical room here runs around $210 at the standard rate, but entering corporate code A70 brings that down to roughly $179 per night. You'll earn 1,790 Marriott Bonvoy points on that spend at the standard 10 points per dollar, and those points are worth about $14.32 at the 0.8 cents per point valuation. That puts your effective net cost at $164.68, saving you $45.32 compared to booking at rack rate without points factored in.

Stack Your Savings
If you hold Marriott Bonvoy Gold or Platinum Elite status, those perks apply on top of the A70 corporate rate. Gold gets you 25% bonus points on every stay, bumping your 1,790 base points to about 2,238. Platinum and above adds complimentary breakfast, room upgrades when available, and lounge access at properties that have one, which this downtown Marriott does not, but the breakfast benefit alone can save $15 to $20 per morning.
The Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card from Chase earns 6x points per dollar at Marriott properties, meaning a $179 night generates 1,074 credit card points on top of your 1,790 hotel loyalty points. The Amex Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant earns the same 6x rate and adds a $25 dining credit at the hotel. Either card effectively doubles your points haul on every corporate-rate stay.
Marriott regularly runs quarterly promotions that offer bonus points after a set number of stays, sometimes doubling or tripling earnings on your second and third bookings in a window. Register for these promos on the Bonvoy app before your trip, because they do not apply retroactively. Booking midweek, particularly Tuesday through Thursday, tends to yield the best availability at the corporate rate since weekend leisure demand can push inventory off the discounted block.
Bottom Line: Depending on the room category and time of year, Alaska Airlines employees using code A70 at the Salt Lake City Marriott City Center can expect to save between $27.88 and $74.12 per night after factoring in points earnings. The location is hard to beat for downtown meetings, convention center access, or a quick overnight near the airport. It is one of the most reliable full-service options in SLC, and the corporate rate makes it a clear first choice over comparable hotels in the area.
