Perfect for a Short Stay
I booked this hotel because I needed a hotel with a free airport shuttle at a cheap rate. The hotel fit the bill perfectly.
ROOM: This Fairfield Inn has very tired, dated decor, but it has everything you need so it's hard to complain. We had two queen beds, a desk, a flat-screen TV, single-cup coffeemaker, and dresser. The bathroom was large enough with plenty of hot water, everything I ask for.
REST: The bed was comfortable, had plenty of pillows, and decent bed coverings, so I was looking forward to a great night's sleep. Better yet, the room was dark and quiet, so I slept soundly. I was amazed that we didn't hear airplanes in the room despite being close to an airport that has planes coming and going at all hours.
CLEANLINESS: The room was perfectly clean, no complaints here.
SERVICE: I didn't personally use the shuttle or check in, but my companion had no complaints with the service. The breakfast staff as well as the front desk in the morning were both friendly.
LOCATION: I was a little nervous driving up at night since my GPS took me to the hotel the back way, past a few strip clubs, but the hotel was in a perfectly safe area once I got past that. Interestingly enough, the next morning I realized we were very close to the highway and my GPS just didn't send me to the correct exit. Get directions from the hotel if you are concerned ahead of time. It's a quick drive to the airport, but there isn't much else in the immediate proximity.
PARKING: Plenty of free parking available.
BREAKFAST: Breakfast is included, with standard options including cereal, oatmeal, fresh fruit, canned fruit, microwaveable breakfast sandwiches, make-it-yourself waffles, pastries, yogurt, juices, milk, coffee, tea, and cocoa. It's not fancy, but I was content with the offerings. I can't remember if breakfast started at 6 or 6:30, but it was fairly early.
WI-FI: Wi-fi was fast and free. How can you go wrong?
BOTTOM LINE: We didn't stay here long, basically using it as a place to sleep and nothing else, but it exceeded my expectations for a reasonable rate. I'd return without a second thought.
