This was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've slept in. The room was clean and comfortable. There was a great restaurant right across the street. A special treat was waking up to taps in the morning! Overall, a great stay!

Everything was perfectly fine for our one overnight stay here. I was surprised at how comfortable the bed was because that’s often a problem for me. The hotel staff were friendly and polite. The food choices were good.

Stay was great, room was clean, water Pressure great, bed nice and comfy. Breakfast was filling. Staff was courteous and friendly. Easy on/off highway but very quiet!
The only downfall was no room darkening shades.

My only complaint would be that the restaurant closed early some nights... I was often rushing back from meetings and hoping to grab a late night bite... but the kitchen staff went home early

Beautiful hotel, very modern, enjoyed the daily breakfast. The pool and gym areas are spotless and up-to-date. The staff was absolutely wonderful - very attentive, couldn't be more helpful. The area itself has plenty of dining options at all price points, great shopping, and of course the Apex Center. The ONLY issue that I had with this hotel was the bathroom lock. One night it locked by itself while my husband was in there, and was almost impossible to unlock. Almost had to call the staff at...

Room was very nice quiet, perfect for me. Very clean as well. Bed was a little firm for me, but still very nice....the only thing I would suggest is adding a fan in the bath. One for toilet use and foggy mirrors....but great other than that

My boyfriend and I stayed for Valentine’s Day and upon arriving we were greeted with kindness and 2 glasses of champagne! Check in was perfect. The room was perfect. Definitely one of my favorite hotels for sure. We also ate at my favorite restaurant right 10 steps across the street! We could literally see the entrance right from our room window. It was a beautiful experience here.

My spouse and I stayed two nights to beat the heat while waiting for A/C to be installed in our home, choosing the Fairfield Inn because it is closest to where we live. What a happy surprise! Our room was spotlessly clean and looked as if it had been recently upgraded. The king bed was very comfortable. Room design was good in terms of how the space was used, so that the two of us did not feel cramped. But the people were the best. Every staff member we met (front desk, breakfast room,...

How do you know if an apartment is the best choice for you?
