The property was centrally located which is a blessing and an absolute curse. The road noise from the main street was unbearable. I got zero sleep. No rest. It was terrible.

Rooms are new, lobby and breakfast area are large, clean and well appointed. AC was a little noisy at night in room 403, but shower and hot water are great. Well located, near restaurants, main street and close to the U of SC (not walking distance).Highly recommend this Fairfield property.

I went for my daughter's college orientation, and I got back to the hotel around 9am and the staff was amazing! Check in wasn't until 3pm but because it had been raining and I was wet the main hostess at the front counter asked housekeeping to please clean a room for me and I was able to check in by 10am. They also offered me breakfast when I arrived (even though I hadn't checked in yet). 10 out of 10, I will definitely be staying here when i go back for family weekend.
