Well paying over $200 per night, there was no room service unless you ask for it. The check in staff don’t tell you about this, there is a sheet of paper with the notice on it and you are expected to see it as you check in. It was tucked away at the corner of the counter with artificial flowers in front of it.

The hotel needs some updates and the elevator is STILL broken. I had seen it was broken from reviews a month ago, but assumed it would be fixed. It was not! The hotels in this area are mainly catering to truck drivers and tourists just passing through. It's not ideal for business travel.

It wasn't awful, just not the usual Fairfield in standard. Elevator not working. Room at 78 when we checked in, kick down to 64 in middle of the night. Day time staff was not rude just matter of fact and direct.

It was okay. Breakfast was good. Hotel was clean. Was quite disappointed the Elevator was out of service. Feel like that should have been advised prior to booking as I had to carry all my luggage up and down the stairs...

The hotel was adequate, but not great. The elevator was out, but fortunately we were given a room on the 1st floor. One bedside light bulb was out, the bathroom door could not be closed all the way, but it was secure, and there was an odd smell in the bathroom. Breakfast was done well and the staff was helpful.
