Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Williamsburg

All good

The location for this property is great, especially if you’re visiting various areas of the Triangle. To my present surprise, there’s a public bus stop right outside the hotel for a bus that runs to Merchant Square. I ended up taking the bus down and back three days in a row to Colonial Williamsburg ($3 total each day for a day pass), allowing me to leave my car at the hotel. Staff are really friendly, welcoming, and helpful. A special thanks to Tawana at the front desk and Lyric and Sally at breakfast. Breakfast is excellent, far more than I expected to include scrambled eggs (hard boiled as well), biscuits, sausage, and real fresh fruit! Like, cantaloupe and honey dew! Beautiful lobby and plenty of parking.

Bottom line, the hotel is tired, and I was told there’s a makeover scheduled next year. The short tub, fixed shower head, protruding sink, low quality coffee maker, etc were all outdated and worn. WHY are the toilets at the level of an elementary school toilet?? Only one of the two elevators seemed functional the entire week I was there. It worked for me for the price (relative to surrounding hotels) and the great breakfast and staff partly offset how outdated it is. (The lobby is fresh and cool, the rooms, not so much.) Just be aware of the pros and cons.

How kid friendly the place is.

Please add potatoes and bacon to your breakfast.

I liked the room - clean and spacious

It was my first time in 15 years of staying at marriotts that I was denied a late checkout . The front desk would not even accomodate 30 minutes . My mother needed to lay down after her medication
