Pro- Rooms are clean. Hotel is clean. Big Con- Bed was super uncomfortable- definitely no upgrades with the beds, mattresses, or pillows. Expect to have a hard bed, and very flat pillows (“feathers” have fallen to one side of the pillow/ pillow lacking any structure ). If you read reviews others will say the same- fix your beds Fairfield!!! I did ask for 2 extra pillows, and was told by the ladies at the front desk that they didn’t have any extra pillows for rooms without pullout couch beds. Breakfast- simple. They did have a few “warm” options like pancakes and sausage. Clearly these are pre-made reheated options. Big breakfast positive was Udi GF muffins!! I can rarely eat at a continental breakfast- so well done on the GF option!! The flavored water (cucumbers, lemon) at the front lobby is a nice touch. The hotel is near the college and IKEA. The Magic Sushi across the road (easy walk) is an excellent dinner option. There are other restaurants (like Chilis and TGI Fridays) in walking distance as well.

Very nice hotel, and very nice staff very helpful. I stayed here during the ice storm so I took the last king suite. The staff was very helpful, but my room was dirty. I have several photos of mold, dust bugs, brown water coming from the ceiling and more.

This place did so many things right, but failed terribly with what mattered most. I'll start with that. The mattress was terrible. It was old, you could feel the springs, and zero support. In fact, when I sat on the edge to put on my socks, I about went to the floor. I felt every movement from my spouse. Shower pressure was low ... if you run really fast, you'll get a few drops on you. Now for the good stuff. It was very clean, right off the interstate, near UNC, lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. Staff was friendly and the room was spacious. I only give 3/5 but they are SOOOO close to a 5. The breakfast was "alright".
