This hotel is great. Breakfast was fresh and the eggs were delicious. Parking is easy and ample. It was nice to be able to take the staircase to the third floor sometimes after a long travel day. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub even though we never found the button for the jets. The pillows were too soft for my preference but the room was not bad. It was so helpful to have a refrigerator. The lobby/breakfast area was clutch as my take-out meal didn't come with forks or napkins. Friendly staff and a generally fun vibe.

BED BUGS!!! The hotel was overall a bit run down. It is an old building with some lipstick slapped on. Our shower had hair in it. Poor workmanship with silicon slathered everywhere in the bathroom. It was bearable until we settled in to watch tv and a bug crawled across my shirt. We pulled the mattress cover back to reveal several bed bugs. The staff didn’t seem too bothered to care; just a surface level apology. The only positive was the pool area prior to this nightmare beginning. It is nice and clean.

The hotel was very clean and staff were nice and helpful. The hotel was in good order and all of the facilities functioned well. The breakfast was good and plentiful. I had multiple issues with the room. The lack of a desk light made working difficult even with all the lights in the room on. A clock would be nice as I do not have a smartphone for this purpose. The greatest problem was the lack of room darkening drapes. Room 308's window was in direct view of three parking lot lights in Fairfield's area and another light in the adjacent parking lot. My room was illuminated all night long making it difficult to sleep.
