The stay was prefect but I would never book through Expedia EVER again! They charging card 5 weeks before I went to my hotel. I’m 55 years old I’m never ever had that happen before. I have always been charged when I stay at my hotel not 5 weeks before. I called and tried to talk to rep and they did not care at all.

Overall was a good property to stay at compared to others I have stayed at. We first checked into a room that did not look clean and had a bad smell. The front desk, moved us right away and that room was a lot better.

Comfortable and clean, don’t count on breakfast
Clean room, comfortable beds, friendly staff. Our only complaint was the breakfast. The staff was not able to provide plates and food offerings throughout our 6 night stay. The staff shared their boss forgot to place an order and another staff member was excited to be leaving soon as she was fed up with never having what she needed to properly serve guests breakfast in the morning. I see this as a management issue and felt bad for the staff who had to deal with constantly needing to tell guests they were out of the basics.

Breakfast preparation lady was noisy. Breakfast was below average. Not up to mark for Fair Field Inn. Main hotel entry doors were broken. Room service was reluctantly done despite the request. Won’t stay there again. Not worth the money. Would rather stay at quality inn.

Toilet did not work in first room, had to report to front desk, they moved us to another room on a different floor, we moved our belongings to new room & noticed door to room did not latch. Had to go back down to report to desk, they put us in a different room again. After we came back to room to go to bed, TV did not work. It was 11pm, we were tired, we did not feel up to reporting it & have to another room. Rooms were clean but i would not recommend, there are plenty of other hotel options in close area.

Kids running halls/screaming on 1st floor until 1am, yet management did nothing. Bed was the most uncomfortable night of sleep I've had in years, hot tub was out of order. My wife and I pick hotels based on whether they have a hot tub. Breakfast was ok but potatoes and eggs were barely warm. We've stayed at many Fairfield Inns over the years and this was not the typical experience. Disappointed. Possible FF Inn's good run is over.

Everyone was very nice and helpful. Very quiet and convenient to freeways. The only thing I would say could have been better is the cleanliness of the room I stayed in. Bathroom door looked like frosting finger marks from little ones as well as on the window. Also the bathtub had that pinkish/red fungus in a couple spots.

There was no hand soap. When we asked, we were told that they didn’t get their shipment in. To me, that is unacceptable. The breakfast options were limited and the juice was served in bottles and there was no more when we came down at 8 am.
