The area is nice due ti the proximity of eateries. However, the parking and parking options are not optimal for guests. I was told if I pad for parking that was off site, that entrances and exits would be unlimted for each day I paid for, which was not accurate. This caused payment of additional fees on top of what the hotel charges. Also, the breakfast options were limited in comparison to other Fairfield locations I have stayed in and they only allow certain forms of payment, which is not advertised.

Shocking

There is no hotel security at all on this property , and it was needed when a man verbally assaulted and tried to physically intimidate me, my daughter and my sister while having breakfast in the lobby area. After contacting gen manager , she spoke to him, and it was his word against ours! As women traveling alone- please reconsider staying here, I can’t believe he wasn’t escorted out , but then again- no security to do so!!
