Do not believe the photos on the Marriott site. This hotel in disrepair. Poorly accommodated and dirty.
Pros:

I use Marriott Bonvoy for frequent business travel because of the brand’s normally consistent standards. This Fairfield is anything but consistent—it is very low quality. Highway traffic noise is clearly audible in the rooms. The property shows significant wear, including stained furniture, dirty floors, peeling wallpaper, and dated 1990s-era furnishings. This hotel is not representative of the Marriott brand, and Marriott should be embarrassed by the condition of this property.

Pros:

The staff was very friendly. The breakfast had many choices & was hot & fresh!!

Cons:

The beds could have been a little more comfortable & i thought we was getting 2 queen size beds but im pretty sure they were actually full size. The hotel itself is a little outdated.
