Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Detroit Lakes

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here for one night during a road trip. The hotel is very clean, and smells amazing. Room was clean, and beds were very comfortable. Ashley, at the front desk, was very friendly. Location is convenient to seeing Detroit Lake. We did not get a lake view room, but I would request that next time. Also nice having restaurants close by. We are at the end of the season, so shops were closed, but I would still highly recommend."
