Fairfield Inn by Marriott Erie Millcreek Mall

Nice breakfast

Location

The beds were very comfortable and the breakfast was very good.

Good

Weekday breakfast hours were 6-9am which is unusually limited, but options were available if you were there shortly after 6. The hostess was attempting to keep the area clean. Beds were comfortable and there were no noise disruptions during the evening.

Very short breakfast hours during vacation month. Food ( yogurts, milk options) was not refilled so those arriving later had very limited options. No whole milk available at all (not all kids will drink skim or 2% milk) By 8:00, they were out of a lot of items, leaving little for my teen to eat. Hostess said they were out. That should not happen. Fruit options (apples and oranges) did not look fresh. No bananas or cut melons. Coffee/ tea not available after breakfast hours were over and not set out in evenings during check-in, even though website lists lobby coffee as an amenity. Evening check-in staff kindly offered and obtained hot water for tea. Checkout staff did not offer to provide coffee when I asked if coffee was available in late morning. No other guests around so he wasn’t too busy. Room smelled strongly of deodorizer, presumably to try to cover pet smells. I had requested room without a recent pet stay due to allergies. The next morning I experienced irritated eyes with swelling. Room seemed generally clean but maintenance is needed for shower caulk. Not enough wash cloths for guests registered. Overflowing garbage can near hotel entrance. There are many other options to stay in this area. I don’t see a reason to return to this property.
