Decent hotel option in Utica
Pros:

Stayed here for one night before touring Hamilton College. The room was clean and quiet. Lots of dining options near hotel. Free breakfast was basic, but sufficient. Free parking.

Pros:

Cons:

There was a lady at the desk that needs to learn manners and dress code. She was rude to me and had on a doo rag on her head with leotard pants. Very unprofessional

Disappointing Overnight Front Desk Experience Despite Otherwise Good Stay
Pros:

Overall, my stay was good, but I was disappointed with my experience at the front desk during the overnight shift.
When I went to the front desk for assistance, the employee was in the back office with the door almost completely closed. I had to call out several times, and eventually raise my voice, before anyone came out to help me. When she did come out, she seemed unfriendly and unwelcoming, which made the interaction feel uncomfortable.
I understand overnight staff may have other responsibilities, but the front desk should remain attentive and approachable for guests who need assistance. A more welcoming attitude and better visibility at the front desk would greatly improve the guest experience.

Great
Pros:

Had such a great stay. Clean rooms and the friendliest, most accommodating staff in the area. I’ve stayed at several hotels in/around Utica and always choose FairField. Mariann in particular is a godsend when it comes to helping me get the rooms I need! (Traveling with kids)

Awesome
Pros:

Only place in the Utica area that I will frequent when in town visiting my son. The staff is beyond accommodating and makes it feel like "home" every time I visit. Mariann is so pleasant and professional, and speaks highly of the property and team she has alongside her. Common courtesy is hard to find these days, I can always count on Fairfield!
