Friday evening, I found myself needing to book a hotel room at the last minute. This property was close to where I needed to be, so I reserved a room using the app and headed to the Fairfield. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted by a cheerful and friendly staff member. She got me all checked in, took note of my member profile preferences, accommodated them, explained the property features, and shared useful information about the local area/restaurants. When I saw the room was located next to a hotel entrance, I went back to the front desk and asked if she could assign a different room. She hooked me up and I was off.
The room was spacious, modern, and quiet. Some of the surfaces were a bit dusty, and there was some dried spilled residue on the desk, but at this point in my journey, practically anything was acceptable. There was a nice patio with a fire pit attached to the front of the hotel. Despite the high occupancy, there was plenty of parking and it was quiet. The hotel sits off the main road and is close to shopping and restaurants. Many of the eateries are within walking distance.
The hotel offers a complimentary breakfast in the morning. While COVID precautions might still be a driver in the breakfast items offered by the hotel, this property does a much better job with its breakfast offerings than I have seen at other Marriott hotels. The gentleman maintaining the breakfast bar was friendly and constantly checking with the guests to make sure they had everything they needed.
Despite being a last-minute booking, this property came through for me. Kudos to the two staff members I mentioned. Their customer focus was on point and a benchmark for others to emulate. I would stay here again if I return to the area. read more
