Smaller and older than other Fairfield Inn's we've stayed in. A little hard to find and get to because it's tucked in back from the highway.

We stayed two nights for a quick get away to Hocling Hills to ATV and kayak. We would recommend this hotel to anyone. Great location with many places around. We needed more towels which they were accommodating and the rooms were very clean. It was so quiet and the beds comfortable. The only thing we experienced was towels that smelled old but we asked for new and they replaced them immediately. Staff was very nice and bathrooms clean. We will be back. Thanks for a great stay!!!
