Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Check in took over a half hour. Only one employee at the entire property and she was nice but she needed support. We got to our room to find a used room that had not been cleaned with two double beds when we booked a king room. Went to the front desk and we were informed this is a common problem at this hotel. She booked us into another room. Again, with two beds when we booked a king room. Housekeeping did a poor job cleaning the room. We had a dirty towel in the room. The room was not well maintained. I would not recommend this hotel. Very disappointed and surprised to see this is a Fairfield property.

I didn’t like that our tv had no sound. The gentleman tried to fix it and could not fix it so we watched tv in silence.
