Loved our stay next time we will be booking for more than just one night. Several amenities that we loved. We have a toddler and he loves staying at the hotel. The breakfast was great several options. The pool is heated and the provide towels for the pool if needed. There is also a 24 hour exercise room that’s great. All staff super friendly and I love how safe it was. For parking it was underground and you have to use a key card for parking garage, pool and other stuff.

We loved the hotel the breakfast the hotel even looked new but it was 13 years old. We stayed from a Monday - Friday in the early May. Not busy at all. We just didn’t like how the pool was close to the street. And people would sneak in and smoke weed by the bocce ball and hang around the pool. One day someone even brought dogs who kept barking the whole time. When staff walked by nothing happened. We have 3 kids who love the pool so it was kind of a bummer but overall of you don’t go to the pool it was great.

We had an excellent time at the Fairfield. It was a very comfortable and clean junior suite and the hotel was also clean. Breakfast was well stocked and the kids enjoyed the waffles. The pool was warm and fun for the kids. We were also able to walk to get food and to the beach.

My stay overall was actually the best from other hotels we’ve stayed at. Even though my biggest request of adjoins rooms couldn’t be met my family was very happy with the comfort and quality of the rooms. Breakfast was great and the ladies in the dining area were very gracious and helpful! Always with a smile 😊 I would definitely come back to this hotel if we travel this way again! Your beds were the best!

Our stay at the Fairfield Marriott was excellent. Although we only stayed for one night it was perfect. My daughter was able to use the pool the day we arrived and my husband the gym. Everything was clean and well taken care of. The room was easy to access as I had my two daughters and one being an infant. The room was cleaned the sheets and bed was so comfortable. We were able to get a playpen which was great but it was a little complicated to lock the sides. we eventually managed. Free breakfast was good, nothing fancy just a good basic breakfast. The receptionist who checked us in was super nice and professional. I will definitely be booking here again.
