Only negative I had is I was there 3 days and never got any clean towels even after asking.
4.0 / 5.0
The stay was prefect but I would never book through Expedia EVER again! They charging card 5 weeks before I went to my hotel. I’m 55 years old I’m never ever had that happen before. I have always been charged when I stay at my hotel not 5 weeks before. I called and tried to talk to rep and they did not care at all.
4.0 / 5.0
Overall was a good property to stay at compared to others I have stayed at. We first checked into a room that did not look clean and had a bad smell. The front desk, moved us right away and that room was a lot better.
2.0 / 5.0
Clean room, comfortable beds, friendly staff. Our only complaint was the breakfast. The staff was not able to provide plates and food offerings throughout our 6 night stay. The staff shared their boss forgot to place an order and another staff member was excited to be leaving soon as she was fed up with never having what she needed to properly serve guests breakfast in the morning. I see this as a management issue and felt bad for the staff who had to deal with constantly needing to tell guests they were out of the basics.

Breakfast preparation lady was noisy. Breakfast was below average. Not up to mark for Fair Field Inn. Main hotel entry doors were broken. Room service was reluctantly done despite the request. Won’t stay there again. Not worth the money. Would rather stay at quality inn.

Toilet did not work in first room, had to report to front desk, they moved us to another room on a different floor, we moved our belongings to new room & noticed door to room did not latch. Had to go back down to report to desk, they put us in a different room again. After we came back to room to go to bed, TV did not work. It was 11pm, we were tired, we did not feel up to reporting it & have to another room. Rooms were clean but i would not recommend, there are plenty of other hotel options in close area.

Pretty mediocre breakfast for how much a room costs, and hot tub was not hot. But the bed was super comfortable and the place was clean.

Lobby was clean and inviting. Loved the coffee area. Room was clean. Breakfast was good. The staff running it this morning - the lady - so sweet and fun to listen to her singing in the back!

Kids running halls/screaming on 1st floor until 1am, yet management did nothing. Bed was the most uncomfortable night of sleep I've had in years, hot tub was out of order. My wife and I pick hotels based on whether they have a hot tub. Breakfast was ok but potatoes and eggs were barely warm. We've stayed at many Fairfield Inns over the years and this was not the typical experience. Disappointed. Possible FF Inn's good run is over.

Everyone was very nice and helpful. Very quiet and convenient to freeways. The only thing I would say could have been better is the cleanliness of the room I stayed in. Bathroom door looked like frosting finger marks from little ones as well as on the window. Also the bathtub had that pinkish/red fungus in a couple spots.
2.0 / 5.0
There was no hand soap. When we asked, we were told that they didn’t get their shipment in. To me, that is unacceptable. The breakfast options were limited and the juice was served in bottles and there was no more when we came down at 8 am.

Enjoyed the friendly staff at check-in including a complimentary cookie and 24-hour coffee/tea bar.
1.5 / 5.0
We were just passing through, so didn’t stay long. Service was friendly and everything was in good order. The room was super noisy. We had to unplug the fridge and there was still a lot of noise from heater? Each of us to wait for hot breakfast food.

The hotel is clean and the personnel is very cordial and warm. Especially Lisa from the kitchen ; she goes beyond her duty to give a special service to the guests . Our only dissatisfaction was the night when we arrived with the thermostat of the room , it was broken and the night was chilly. Nevertheless, as soon we informed the situation , we got another room in perfect conditions.

1.0 / 5.0
I typically do not leave negative reviews but this hotel is horrible. The first room had disgusting black hairs and yellow stains all over the beds. The lady at the front desk was nice enough and said we can either change the sheets or change rooms..we changed rooms. The second room did not have black hairs in the bed but had them all over the bathroom floor. The walls were filthy, the carpet was disgusting, there was soda or something else splashed on the wall and just left to dry, the pool was ice cold, there was bugs all in the lobby, and the bed was extremely warn out. I am disappointed Marriott is allowing these owners to use their name.

4.0 / 5.0
The hotel was much better than expected for the price. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and spacious. The breakfast wasn’t much to rave about but decent enough. The pool and jacuzzi were clean but small. The work out room had equipment that didn’t work which was a bummer. But overall it was a good hotel.

Doors/Walls do not provide much for noise reduction. We could hear everything anyone said going down the hallway.
Property was clean. The only staff we had interactions were pleasant. Breakfast had good selection, typical heat and eat stuff, nothing fancy.

Light over desk is out. Was replaced, but too dim to read a book or study. Shower walls are dirty. People are shouting down the hall @ one another.
