This has become our go-to overnight stop between Atlanta and Kansas City with the family. The hotel is newly renovated and safe, and the staff is always super-friendly.

Our stay at Fairfield Inn was a quick but pleasant stay. During our visit to Marion we were under the weather with a cold. Our housekeeper must have noticed our vitamin C and medicine to help because she (Desiree) even left us an extra box of Kleenex. As small a gesture as it was, it was a very sweet one!

A little hidden gem! When we first arrived my husband and I were a little taken back by the looks and tried to cancel our reservation! We were unable to and were both exhausted so we thought we would talk to the staff! SO friendly. They let us look at our room before we even checked in. It was not fancy, but immaculate clean! We were traveling and just wanted a clean, quiet place to stay for the night! And that’s exactly what we got!

Everything was good until my car didn’t get fixed on time so I asked to stay an hour after check out time at 11 and the person(Man) I talk to said YES THAT WAS FINE. So when I’m leaving a lady said to me “NEXT TIME NO STAYING LONGER THEN CHECK OUT TIME” I told her I had an agreement with someone else already who works there also & then said with an ATTITUDE “THAT DOES NOT MATTER” She was extremely rude and definitely doesn’t know the situation between me and the other worker
