We didn't get the rest we so badly needed.
Pros:

the shampoo, conditioner & body wash smelled great!!

Cons:

the room smelled musty & moldy as soon as we walked in, our carpet was messed up where it met the tile, the caulk was moldy in the shower & the worst thing was the ac rattled all night and made so much noise we couldn't sleep....after driving 8 hours amd arriving after midnight. It was not a good experience.

We loved it & definitely enjoyed it. Will be visiting again.
Pros:

The staff was so friendly…from checking in to house keeping at check out.

Cons:

When we showered the first night, the water was hot. When we showered the next morning before check out, the water was not that…barely warm enough to shower.

Premium bedding, good coffee/breakfast, and Alex and Valarie were happy and helpful.
Pros:

The bed was sooo comfy—I slept great! The front desk staff was very cordial. Breakfast was more than we expected, a good variety of food with healthy options.

Cons:

The room was a little worn/dated. The rug was ripped when you first walk in. The bathroom was aged and whatever they’re cleaning the floors with is not floor cleaner! It was sticky/greasy and our shoes left footprints in it!

Cons:

Room was in bad condition. Carpet is torn up where it meets the tile. Bathroom could use a painting and tile looked stained. just did not feel like it was well taken care of.

This Fairfield made us feel welcome.
Pros:

The night check in staff gave us a warm welcome after a long drive. We really appreciated that they had refreshments available like cocoa and oranges so we could have a little snack before heading to bed. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were quiet. In the morning we enjoyed the variety of options especially for the oatmeal bar. And the lemons and limes in the water dispenser was a nice touch.

Cons:

The eggs were overboiled and the treadmill wasn’t working. Also the sink was cracked.

Losing its luster - quickly
Pros:

Update from last - still love the people and fruit out all day - and good fruit - oranges that aren't soft, etc.

But others are right - the infrastructure is not good. Shredded carpet in the room. Dry wall, grout, basedboards missing. The cabinet holding the fridge in my room is shredded. The AC Unit against the window is cracked.

So serious work needs to be done. I won't be back even with the positivies.

The request of the room on the other side - they had to find one - but away from the highway - was a good one. There was just forest behind my room and I only heard the highway.

But - my initial it's fine - has worn off - and I'll try a different property next time.

There are positives here but I hope they invest in the physical plant.

PS - confused - you have a wonderful oatmeal bar but then just packaged oatmeal. Your bar is meant for fresh cooked oatmeal, which 90% of Fairfields offer.

Avoid. Far Below Marriott standards.
Pros:

While we had a quiet night, the AC worked, that is where our positive experience ceased. I am baffled as to how this property is allowed to carry the Marriott brand name. Upon entrance, the sign is busted. The lobby is quite small and in need of repair. The bathroom was awful. Black mildew stains covered the ceiling. The shower and shower curtain were stained and ragged. We had no hand soap and an insufficient amount of towels. When my husband went to request hand soap and additional towels, he was told that the extra provided were the last on the property. The lobby employees had to keep Lysol in front of the counter to cover what I believe to be the smell of marijuana. This made me feel unsafe with my family.
