The staff was really nice and welcoming. Not sure if the vents were cleaned because me and my guest were sneezing a lot when in the bathroom. Other than that the stay was good
The property was centrally located which is a blessing and an absolute curse. The road noise from the main street was unbearable. I got zero sleep. No rest. It was terrible.
This hotel is the best place to stay and the most comfortable place to stay in the city and I was so pleased with the staff and the hospitality and the breakfast, and every time I’m in town I will always come back to this hotel.
Rooms are new, lobby and breakfast area are large, clean and well appointed. AC was a little noisy at night in room 403, but shower and hot water are great. Well located, near restaurants, main street and close to the U of SC (not walking distance).Highly recommend this Fairfield property.
I went for my daughter's college orientation, and I got back to the hotel around 9am and the staff was amazing! Check in wasn't until 3pm but because it had been raining and I was wet the main hostess at the front counter asked housekeeping to please clean a room for me and I was able to check in by 10am. They also offered me breakfast when I arrived (even though I hadn't checked in yet). 10 out of 10, I will definitely be staying here when i go back for family weekend.

Yes, the staffand cleanliness of the hotel were exceptional.
Hotel was great. Rooms were clean, staff were courteous and check in was fast. The hot breakfast was good over the weekend. Not too many selections on Monday. The location was in close proximity for our event at the Colonial Arena. I will choose this location again if ever in the area.
day.
Great hotel with friendly staff, clean rooms and a great continental breakfast. The only negative was that my room faced the main road and it was noisy all night long.
