We’ve stayed at this Fairfield Inn several times over the past 13 years and usually have a great experience. However, this visit was disappointing.
We typically book a King Bed Suite, which has always been quite nice. This time, we decided to save a few dollars and booked a standard King Room—a decision we regretted.
Upon entering, we found the two-drawer chest blocking movement, even for our smallest rolling suitcase. Though there seemed to be plenty of space, we had to lift our luggage over it just to get around. Storage was also an issue—the chest was the only drawer space in the entire room. It may be fine for one person, but not for two. We had to hang up clothes that we normally wouldn’t just to make do.
Another frustration was the lack of bedside outlets. There was only one, meaning I had to bring my own extension cord to use my CPAP. Adding outlets on both sides of the bed seems like a simple fix.
Noise was also a problem for the first time. A traveling sports team was staying at the hotel, and their music was exceptionally loud. I reported it to the front desk early in the evening, and to their credit, it was quiet by 10:00 PM. Still, the thin walls didn’t help.
One more issue: not enough towel bars in the bathroom. Reusing towels to conserve water is fine, but there needs to be enough space to hang them up properly.
On the bright side, the staff was friendly and helpful as always.
Final takeaway: If you stay here, book a suite.
