We enjoyed our stay at Marriott Fairfield Inn & Suites in Clear Lake, IA! Hotel had “new appearance” & check in process was smooth even though we added 2nd night’s stay. The thing that we didn’t enjoy was the complimentary breakfast, fruit should be replaced more often, minor issue but heard others express the same sentiments. Overall, stay was was nice & would recommend to family and friends! Thank you! 😊

Stayed as a long time Bonvoy member. Fairfield always my go to. Dependable. Not this time or this location. TVs don’t work, wires hanging everywhere from tv, bathrooms need a deep clean, red/pink mold in shower. Parts broken off in shower. Felt more like a budget hotel experience not a $200 room.

Easy check in. The rooms we stayed in were nicely cleaned and the floor was quiet. This is the nicest hotel in the area. I enjoy staying here every time I come back to visit. The only issue sometimes it can be difficult to find staff at the front desk and they aren’t always present.

Very comfortable stay! It was very easy to get there from the interstate and the beds were comfy. The continental breakfast was delicious and there were lots of options! Our only concern was regarding overall cleanliness. The pool area was not very clean and there were a lot of ants near the windows. There also was some food left in our fridge from the previous stay. We would definitely stay again!

When we checked in we were told many of the rooms had non-working tv's. We were asked if we wanted a tv, and we said yes. Got to room, tv did not work. Tried to call front desk to ask for another room, phone did not work. Called hotel from my cellphone and asked for another room. They said they could move us for our 2nd night. The next morning we moved to another room, and the front desk clerk personally checked it to be sure tv worked. It was on when we got there, but when we changed channel, it quit working. Also, no second mirror in the first room. Only about 10 tissues in the both rooms, and my allergies were acting up, so used toilet paper. Very disappointed. Highest priced hotel in Clear Lake, and no offer to discount room for no tv.
