STAY AWAY!

My husband accidentally booked this hotel. He was thinking Fairfield and got confused. No big deal...or so we thought. This hotel is a DUMP. We drove up, saw a drug deal go down, a guy walking to each room and trying the door, and another group of guys was hanging out behind the building, and it looked like it may have been another drug deal. We turned around in the parking lot, and didn't look back. We totally just ate the money. Our lives were worth it.

Do not stay

Stayed there for one night, blanket had holes in it, stepped on a dead roach before I left the room. I do not recommend staying here unless it's a super last resort and you have nowhere else to go.

Hotel doesn't keep the rooms.

This happened to me two times. I made my reservations through Expedia, but when I went to the hotel, all rooms were occupied and they hadn't kept my room available for me. The first time I had to sleep in my car and the second time in the hotel's staff room. I'll never ever try this hotel again and DO NOT recommend this hotel to anyone.

Convenient and cheap, but very sketchy

Very poorly maintained, dirty towel from prior guests hanging on back of bathroom door. Would not stay there again. On the positive side, no bedbugs or other vermin noted.

Scary hotel!

When we arrived at this hotel at 9:00 pm, it seemed to be in a scary, run-down part of town. When we awoke the next morning and could see the area better, this fear was confirmed. There were several locals living at the place... and one customer was asking the desk clerk if he could buy condoms. The room was quite small, but the bed was a good size. There was no crib available to rent and we were not able to get any extra pillows. The walls were in desparate need of cleaning, there was mold on the walls, and the bathroom was pretty disgusting. However, the desk clerk was very kind. He tried to accomodate us as much as possible.

Hell Hole Motel

Fairview Inn is one of the most dirtiest, uncomfortable, unsafe motels I have ever stayed in. You have families, drug dealer, ladies of the night, staying there. I was so afraid that I didn't sleep, scared that someone would try to come in my room, which they did. I put the chair under the door handle. For the price of the room, I should get my money back. The website for this place is false advertising.

Don't Walk...Run

This is a low end motel (not a hotel). I selected it because I thought it was walking distance from the train station. It was a long walk - maybe 30 minutes - through a knarley part of town (the wrong side of the river). Decent restaurants are a 30-minute walk back across the river to the Riverwalk, or a taxi ride ($10-$12 one way). The room was basic - TV, small fridge, microwave and bed. Bathroom was minimal (soap, no shampoo). No Internet. I heard the neighbor's TV well after I turned out my lights at 12:00. I was next to the office so after a certain point, I concluded it must be the office TV, not another guests. Not too thoughtful. Next door is the Gold Club. It's for "gentlemen." Check in took about 5 minutes as the desk clerk entered my details into a computer, scanned my driver's license and credit card. I was told to bolt my door when I was inside my room. I spent $65 for the room and was in it for about 9 hours, so it was tolerable, but I wouldn't even think about it under any other circumstances.

Not impressed

booking that hotel was the worst thing that ever happened to me. I check in at 12 am, when i entered the room, it was dirty, especially the bath room, u could hear loud music from other rooms, people were seen walking without shirt. to make long story short ,it was terrible experience . I paid the money without staying at the hotel. I went to double tree hotel where i felt save and enjoyed my weekend. Fairview Inn is a terrible place that you will not want to recommend it to anybody.
