Staff was okay. They did a fine job getting us checked in. Our room was kinda gross though. Stains on the top cover blanket, like obvious stains that weren’t easy to miss. One of the curtains in the room had gross stains on it and almost every towel in the room had dark dirty stains on them. Really disappointed, we were definitely deceived by the other reviews.

Front-office staff were too busy with too much work and therefore had a bad attitude. Breakfast was very poor. The coffee was horrible. I poured it out. Did get a good nights sleep and it was quiet. Bed needs replaced soon.

The room we were given when we checked in was not fully made up. Then the TV did not work so they changed us to another room. The TV in that room also did not work. A staff person came and turned the system off and on and it worked. She said they have been having trouble with the TVs and if it happened again, try turning it off and on! OH, and the TV was pretty old. THankfully the bed was very comfortable and got a great sleep!

It was clean and with a friendly staff. Breakfast was simple sausage gravy biscuits eggs and bacon. With bagels and breads. Nothing fancy but biscuits were fresh and warm and the sausage gravy had good flavor. Perfect for a one night stay. Will stay there again. Pet friendly as well. We had our 2 small dogs with us

When ever I'm in the Fairmont area, this has been my go too. Rooms have always been clean. Staff always friendly and helpful. Towels and linens also in good shape. Breakfast isn't anything to write home over but I get a good night's sleep before I have to go back out to work the next day. I've been coming back over the past couple years.
