Overnight stay

The hotel needs a lot of updates our bathroom light kept flickering and one of the electric plugs on both sides did not work and we had to wait to check in because the owner must live in the hotel because he was in the shower but he was friendly

Whilebi do think management is trying to clean things up, there were several issues i had with my stay. The buildibg was non smoking, but someone was clearly smoking weed and then lit an incense likenthat would help the smell in the hall. My first room was kissing the deadbolt and had obviously been pried open from the outside. The staff was kind enough, but did seem irritated when i wanted to switch rooms for safety. I am a female traveling alone with my service dog. The staff also asked for documentation of my service animal. Which does not exist in the US. I highly recomend the staff brush up on ADA law.

Good coffee. Clean room. Didn’t offer much for breakfast. For the price of the room I was fine with patronizing the K&M Diner for breakfast.

Not good but no better choices nearby

Well, on the bright side it probably is the best hotel in Fairfield... but it's not nice. It looks and feels like a nursing home, the guy at the front is not friendly, it's very old, and the 'free breakfast' (and I'm not kidding) was fruit loops, milk and coffee. The only 2 upsides were the older ladies that did the housekeeping were very kind and there was a restaurant next door that was okay.

They advertise a free ‘Continental Breakfast’, but they only have Fruit Loops. Fortunately, there’s a decent restaurant right in front of the hotel. It’s a small town hotel. I’ve seen a lot worse.At least the room was clean.

I asked for an extra pillow or 2 for my wife who is very pregnant. He acted like I was crazy and was angry about it. The place smelled like cigarettes, butt, and onions. There wasnt hardly even basic channels on tv. Of the 12 channels they had, even they were staticy. The continental brekfast was stale honey buns and old muffins.

Was concerned as family in the area had stated the facility was not good. However, our room was very clean and everything was good except for the air conditioner which vibrated and made noise. Reported it to the staff so hopefully the next visitors will get a better night’s sleep.
