The property Decor was dated. It was obvious that our room had not been inspected by management in some time. The toilet paper roll holder is damaged and almost falling off the wall. The wall adjacent to the desk chair has been very marked up and scratched by the chair. The couch with the internal bed needs to be replaced.

The treadmill in the gym did not work. Elevator button on second floor did not work. Breakfast displayed as unappetizing. Management is allowing this property to decline. It is not consistent with Marriot standards.

I went down to get some hot tea and heard the check in employee screaming at a guest. I have no idea what provoked this behavior, but it was very unprofessional. The room was not as polished as rooms at other fairfield inns. Pillows were very small. Facility was under renovation but there were no signs. There were mattresses strewn in the parking lot instead of placed in the dumpster. Also the coffee was tepid at breakfast.

They were replacing all the mattresses which was great, however, they were left in the hallway and in the staircases. They were sorta blocking emergency exits.

Disappointed
Breakfast was good and staff was friendly. The issue was the rooms. We were welcomed with a strong smell of mold, which was found in the bathroom. Our mattress was awful, and patch work in the wall was clear they’ve had damaged. We were the for a hockey tournament, so all rooms in the area were booked.

Unfortunately our room was on the second floor and the elevator was out. Apparently there had been a power outage, and the elevator had failed to reboot. The fellow manning the front desk offered to help carry our luggage up as soon as he had someone who could watch the front desk. This is an older proprty, judging from the furniture. However, it was absolutely immaculate. The breakfast was also excellent. The prefab omelet with cheese was surprisingly tasty. Finding it was a bit of a hassle but it clearly is popular. The hotel was full on a Tuesday night.

It honestly was a great stay for me, but it was really based on if my wife liked it, cause she’s every picky when it comes to getting a room, and from my understanding she had a great experience as well. So with that being said, we would most definitely go back again!

Good location for my purposes. Elevators are very slow - I had to use the stairs. No hand soap in the bathroom and none and the front desk when asked. Stayed 2 nights and housekeeping never came. Window in the room leaked during a storm and created a puddle. Internet kept going out.

I stayed here in March and loved it! I love the fact that I had a Suite and so much space I encourage my friends to choose Fairfield also but this time I had a regular room for the same price! I asked for a suite! My stay was uncomfortable and disappointing and I was embarrassed after bragging about how the rooms and service would be.

We did not make it to this destination due to vehicle breakdown. I was told I would not he charged when I spoke to the Fairfield Inn in Pelham. I have waited on a refund but nothing has been refunded. Thank you for checking into this matter

The staff and customer service made our stay great. The rooms were outdated, elevator and halls were not air conditioned (very hot in those parts in the summer), and only 1 elevator worked but aside from all that, the staff was absolutely wonderful. I would stay again just because of the customer service.
