Great place to stay. We booked the room the day before flying home and it was the perfect place to stay. Close to the airport, quiet, served a nice breakfast the next day. The place was clean, the staff were extremely friendly. The Italian restaurant across the street La Familia was excellent. I would recommend!

We only had an overnight stay before an early flight out the next morning but Fairfield Inn and Suites in Shalimar is where we go to get a good nights rest when flying in and out of our area….nice, helpful people on the desk no matter what time of day or night and clean, comfortable rooms and beds. Thank you for always being the calm during our sometimes hectic travels. Appreciate you all.

Great overall experience but the bathroom in our room didn’t have a functioning shower, which wasn’t great while trying to get cleaned up before leaving. Staff was very kind and welcoming and breakfast was wonderful but I hope they stay on top of maintenance better within the individual rooms for things as big as plumbing issues.
