Highly disappointed in cleanliness and upkeep of property. Overall quite dirty and run down. Was not up to Fairfield Inn standards. Staff was extremely accommodating and tried to make things ok for us. Due to event in the area, there were no options to move. Would never stay there again.

Parking was easy and was able to park close to room. Room was clean, although it had a moderate musty smell. The pool area was clean and nice, but the lighting was very dark. The breakfast was good, but there was no butter for toast or waffles. The coffee was very good! They did not have plain creamer available, only hazelnut and french vanilla.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Check in was nice and very smooth with the front desk lady. The room had cob webs and no running water in the bathroom sink the next morning. Told two housekeepers and no one did anything. Went to front desk and the man came and looked but couldn’t fix it and no maintenance worker was available to fix it???? Just apologized for the inconvenience. Offered to change our room but didn’t have another suite to move into. Just very disappointed when you pay over 500.00 for two nights and this experience happened. He said the manager should reach out this “week”. So we will see about that. Hotel is in need of a major update outside and inside. Not worth the money. Felt bad for these other people said they had to smell urine and blood on bedding in their room.

The breakfast staff was very friendly and always available to refill whatever needed to be filled. The room itself looked old and dingy, really used and abused, stained chairs, horrible pillows. We booked this particular hotel because we wanted to have the option to have an indoor pool. I called beforehand and asked about the condition of the pool and if if it was open. I was assured that it was. When we got to the Hotel and wanted to use the pool, we were told that the poolPool was closed indefinitely!!!! We were not impressed at all with the Fairfield and will not come back!

Excellent stay

The front desk employee was exceptionally kind and professional. He greeted us warmly and seemed genuine in serving us. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Complimentary bottled water and 24/7 coffee and tea was a nice perk. The hotel was also in a convenient location - just down the road from several restaurants and shopping areas. This place exceeded our expectations, especially for the price.
