It was like sleeping in a tent on the highway!
I read previous reviews on noise but stayed anyway. Wow! The busy street was literally outside my window on the first floor. What a nightmare once I tried watching tv. The traffic noise was too loud mixed with how high you had to turn the volume up on the tv. Bed was comfy but pillows are those extreme soft ones that you sink into. You have to fold them up to get some support. Our toilet seat was hanging on by a thread. First use nearly sent me flying into the floor. Breakfast was basic with sausage, eggs and oatmeal. If you sleep very heavy, are from a loud city, this hotel might be ok for you. I would never stay here again. The outdoor car noise that was never ending as well as hearing anything in the hallways gives this hotel an F rating. Keep looking!! Don’t do it.

Check in took over a half hour. Only one employee at the entire property and she was nice but she needed support. We got to our room to find a used room that had not been cleaned with two double beds when we booked a king room. Went to the front desk and we were informed this is a common problem at this hotel. She booked us into another room. Again, with two beds when we booked a king room. Housekeeping did a poor job cleaning the room. We had a dirty towel in the room. The room was not well maintained. I would not recommend this hotel. Very disappointed and surprised to see this is a Fairfield property.
