We will never be staying at the Fairfield again...We came again an stayed at Hampton Inn and Suites
Pros:

Breakfast was fine.

Cons:

The room refrigerator didn't work and we had insulin to store. They charged the wrong credit card and held money I was unable to use after he said he wouldn't. Emailed Sara the manager and she never returned my email. Also, Sandra Parks and family stayed as well.

Pros:

I was offered a special lower rate for being an Sig Sauer Academy student … great. That option was not posted on the SS website. If you offer that rate, SS should announce it … more business for you, happier students. Win-Win.

Overpriced. Unappealing location. Friendly staff.
Pros:

The location was convenient for getting to and from our daily destinations.
Staff was friendly.

Cons:

Very unappealing exterior and signage that was too small. The biggest disappointment was that we did not see any indication that this hotel was undergoing a renovation (that started in December 2024) when we booked our reservation. A number of rooms on our floor were being reconstructed. Fortunately, workers were not there on the weekend.
Breakfast had much less variety than other hotels we've stayed at where breakfast was included.
We were charged a $200 deposit. That seemed a bit overkill to us. We stayed 4 nights and did not opt for housekeeping. We were initially charged for 3 nights and then on the day of the last night, we saw a charge for the 4th night. We spoke to the manager to ask about the $200 deposit being refunded. He was a little confused, so we are watching our credit card bill to be sure we were not overcharged.
