Yes very nice! But some things in the room were difficult for us seniors to figure out! The breakfast food was not very good, although other Fairfield’s are much better.

I was surprised there were no cookies and coffee or muffins in the lobby for guests that are arriving. I was also shocked at the fact when I asked the front desk for additional water after my first day since I was staying five days she told me the two bottles of water are only for guest when they arrive. I reminded her I was staying for five consecutive nights and she told me I could buy water eventually she gave me two bottles of water, but I was very disappointed in this service.

I stayed here for a wedding. Everything was clean and people were friendly. There was also a decent continental breakfast. One thing that stuck out, my boyfriend forgot his key while I fell asleep and he went to the parking lot. He called and knocked but I slept through it so he had no choice but to talk to the desk. They were worried about my safety so when they did let him in, they insisted they speak to me directly to make sure I was okay and he wasn’t a stranger. Although it was an inconvenience for my boyfriend, I am happy they make sure all their guests are safe.
