Exceptional Stay....
We used the Fairfield East for our family to stay from Alaska and New Jersey, to attend our Aunt's 80th birthday party. I blocked 10 rooms with Debbie Matthews and from day one we were given the most outstanding service and consideration.
Our rooms were located on the 2nd and 3rd floors facing the Marriott parking lot. Not much of a view, but I think the other side was worse. Some of us checked in on thursday -the rest on friday. Some stayed 3 nights- some one week. Regardless of length we were given the negotiated rate which was only quoted for friday to monday. The rooms themselves were clean. The only complaint I can give on the room is the air cond/heater. It blows directly on the person in the bed closest to it and is VERY loud. Had to turn up the TV everytime it came on. The free internet was great- hooked up my laptop and surfed all weekend in my room. Of course you could still go downstairs and use the area with their computers and printers. The bath tub was a little weird- didnt really feel secure in my footing- tub had a curving to it, so be careful.
They didnt have any meeting rooms at this facility, so they allowed us to use the lobby area to kind of hang out as a family, that was awesome. The kids LOVED the pool. Too much chlorine for me, as soon as you walk into the area it burns your eyes..not good. Everyone that used the pool and the whirlpool enjoyed it.
I found the breakfast options accommodating for our needs, there is a Bob Evans right behind the hotel if you desire more. There was also a fast food chain at the corner - cant remember what is was - I think it was Burger King- didnt use it.
I found staff VERY professional and friendly - from the front desk to maintenance. Erin, Natalie (front Desk) and Dawn (maintenance) made me feel very comfortable and always had a smile. They each took the time to hold a conversation and were always extremely pleasant.
I would stay there again.
