Utah Valley Convention Center

Great venue but has the world's MOST uncomfortable chairs!

Went to the three day first annual Utah Aeronautics Convention. It was good, but had a few scheduling glitches such as the tours of their new airline terminal. Convention parking was also an issue for the over 500 participants. We found limited parking on top of the public parking structure several blocks east from the convention center. The major meals were very good at the center. Next year the Convention will be in June, in Logan, Utah. That will be on Thursday through Saturday. We are planning to fly up and hope they will have transportation and reasonable lodgings near the Convention location.

Always a nice venue. Food is great. Rooms are clean and well lit. Love this place for conferences. Bathrooms on the third floor could be bigger though; always a line during the break at conferences. Love the outside area on the third floor. The seating is nice. Even the metal chairs outside on the third floor lean back. Escalators help a lot, but if you want to you can take the stairs which are pretty wide for large groups. Love the windows!

This is a nice building and very tastefully decorated. My two issues and why I only gave it 3 stars instead of 5 is no parking and I do mean no parking. Also, when you first walk in to the main entrance there is an elevator there you can take, but the crazy thing is it does not take you to the top 3rd floor, only the second floor. To get to the third floor you have to walk around the main room on the first floor and take escalators or an elevator on the other side to the 3rd floor. I think that is ridiculous, why would you not have that elevator go to the top floor. Both parking and building setup were annoying to me. Update - The building just responded to my post above, which I have to give them kudos for the response. However, while there may be a parking lot a block away it is still not convenient. Second, if you walk into the building from the small parking lot they have and walk down the hallway a little bit on the corner is an elevator and it does only take you to the second floor not the third so please do not respond back stating it does, it is just dishonest.
