Was very disappointed in this property, my wife and I had been travelling for 13 hrs that day, had been anticipating our arrival to what we considered nice hotels under the Marriott- Fairfield Brand..Nope.. here are a few items that we were faced with upon arrival. Terrible odour upon entering the lobby, poor lighting in the room,wore out furnishings in the room, closet doors stuck,microwave didn’t work,,fan in the washroom didn’t work,felt like we were having a shower in a fog/ steam room/ tub didn’t drain during this process I mean water levels way over your ankles,ironing board opened then hit the floor…. Really Marriott,.And pre paid nearly $175.00 for this room, Spoke with the front desk and was advised to call Expedia.. We Will. Needless to say Enter At Your Own Risk..Winston & Sherry.

Hotel was very clean, the landscaping is poor but it seems like they have been trying to remodel. The inside of the hotel was very clean and up to date. We stayed for a ball tournament with a family of 4. Breakfast was on point just wished they served till 10 so they have options of sleeping in.

Rough around the edges

Honestly, a little rough for a Fairfield Inn. Grounds covered with weeds, no AC in the hallways, smell of chlorine in the lobby.

While lacking in aesthetic qualities, the Fairfield Inn had a friendly and accommodating front desk, easy parking, a Cracker Barrell within walking distance, and clean rooms. I am a bit of a neurotic about cleanliness and I was happy. The drain in the shower was rusting, but the shower itself was spanking clean, which I very much appreciate. And believe it or not, checkout was by 12:00 noon! Never, ever heard of that!

It was decent, but the beds were hard. Didn’t know you had to ask for housekeeping, so our towels were not traded out for two days. Asked for housekeeping the third day, and they never came. Breakfast was adequate.

Stay somewhere else.

There was roaches in the bathroom. The shower had almost no water pressure. When we got to the hotel to check in no one was at the desk. I rang the bell and no one came. I wait a few minutes then started walking around. The receptionist came out from the back room on her cell phone. She had me reswipe my card although I had paid online. The amount she had me pay was about 40 more than what I had paid at bookin. Once we noticed the price difference I went back to the desk ask and she was mia again. When she finally came to the desk and I asked about the additional charges without even looking anything up all she said was the additional charges were for incidentals. I mentioned to her that we were not from the area and she was t even willing to give suggestions on where to eat or if there was anything for us to do.

We were on 3rd floor because I asked for the quietest room possible. The toilet ran all night. We kept the bathroom door closed to lessen the sound. There were a few holes in the drywall and the corner had missing drywall. The beds & bathroom were clean and we were exhausted at nearly midnight when we checked in. We were too tired to ask for a different room. Breakfast was extremely basic, but included so you can’t beat it. sausage links were the only meat and too over cooked to eat. They did have a couple cold cereal options and a make your own waffle station. The staff member at the desk when we checked it was very welcoming and extremely nice.
