When traveling on a budget and trying to find decent places that do not nickel & dime you to death, you have to love the Fairfield Inn's by Marriott. Complimentary breakfast, clean efficient room, free wifi, free parking, free use of their business center to print boarding passes or surf. Does it get any better? This hotel is located near... More

The rooms look very good. They are clean, modern looking and have everything one needs to be comfortable- including a fridge and microwave. The breakfast is surprisingly good. It isn't your upscale type of setting with hot foods and large variety like Hampton Inn, Embassy Suites etc. However, all the other less expensive hotels could take a long hard look... More

The staff, over the phone while making the reservation, and while at the hotel was great. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. I saw other reviews with complaints about nearby train and interstate traffic. I didn't hear either. The train traffic may not be the same every day and the interstate traffic was quiet because of a forecast snow storm... More

This hotel was clean and affordable. The staff was very nice and accomodating. One problem. Trains. This hotel is very close to the Union Pacific switch and trains pass several times per night and cross a fairly busy street, thus blowing their horns.......repeatedly. Ugh.

My wife and I recently stayed at this hotel for 11 days due to the passing of a relative. The hotel is by far located in the best part of town. Directly off the interstate, close to a home depot, Walmart, Sam's club, far too many places to eat within a couple of minutes from fast food, breakfast, or dinner.There... More

This place has been recently refurbished so I had no complains about that, but small details like, the toilet seat flopping all over the place and the brace to hold up safety bar needing attention were two things that make me wonder why it is needed for guests to report these things. I have to say the bed was super... More
