El personal de limpieza debe tener mas cuidado cuando limpian en una ocasión no hicieron el sofa cama donde estaba durmiendo mi hijo, ni botaron la basura. En otro dia dejaron la puerta abierta del cuarto. El personal muy agradable y la comida buena.

Room was good. Breakfast was just as expected, not great. Nothing special, I wish they had fresh bananas and more selection of tea. The quality of bread/muffin/bagels are marginal

On a more positive note, the woman who ran the breakfast buffet was very sweet, professional and hardworking. No matter what else happened, I was always sure I would get a decent breakfast. I wish I had gotten her name to thank her properly because she did an outstanding job.

The beds were comfortable. Room was clean. Had fresh fruit for breakfast. Everything was great! Until I couldn’t shower in the morning because there was no hot water pressure. I was going to a vigil for my near death son in law and I couldn’t shower! I was mortified. The desk attendant was nice and my room fee was refunded.

Of the three hotels in this area others (Hilton and Hyatt others), by far across the board this hotel is in 3rd place. Facilities, food, decor, vibe. Single elevator. Not a great "feel" or vibe. Just OK.

Mostly all good. Staff at desk were good. Sometimes staff is GREAT. Not this time but no complaints. 1 staff member was great. Woman running breakfast. Hard worker and pleasant.

Damp musty smell throughout the room. Worn carpet at room entrance door. The room felt very outdated and in need of a complete refresh. The best thing about the hotel is the location. Invest some money in this place and it should pay back quickly.

We have a huge problem with the billing of these rooms. we reserved 3 rooms under one reservation, and another reservation. So 4 rooms total. Upon arriving at the hotel they only had 2 reservations (2 rooms). The manager was not helpful as these rooms were reserved through Hotels. com. So we rebooked the rooms through The Fairfield Inn. Currently we have been doubled charged for 3 of the rooms. No one to talk to at Hotels. com and the General Manager at the Fairfield Inn has not returned my phone call regarding this manner. NOT HAPPY TO SAY THE LEAST!

DON’T BE FOOLED FOLKS. The pictures are NOT OF THIS FACILITY. This Marriott is a ficade - no different than a Wyndam motel.- BUT 3 times the price. I’d like 2/3rds of my money back.

Booked and paid for a room for my daughter thru Expedia due to her mandatory evacuation for Hurricane Helene. She provided a personal card for incidentals as is normal policy but was charged the full price of the room upon checkout. When contacting the hotel to rectify the situation, she was informed that they would not process a refund until they were able to retrieve the Expedia payment card info that the staff member deleted when she checked in. After contacting the hotel numerous times, as well as Marriott Customer Service, a refund for the correct amount showed as pending in her account yesterday (three FULL weeks after her stay). Today that refund is gone and there is a new refund for $20 which does not come close to the cost of the reservation. She continues to communicate with the hotel, but our patience is at an end. The hotel is nice enough, but I cannot in good conscience recommend that anyone stay there. This whole situation makes me leary of using Expedia in the future given that this incident has still not been resolved.

Absolutely nothing. Hotel cancelled my reservation right on the cusp of a dangerous hurricane approaching, due to their overbooking. They just sent an email to advise us. No apology, no nothing. We were in a mandatory evacuation area, had no car and now had no place to stay. They placed us in a very dangerous situation, at the last minute, and did so in a very callous manner.

Clean,good location The latch for our door was broken, kind of makes it unsafe. Needs a deep clean for sure.. Also, the front desk should be trained to know how to take in 3rd party reservations from booking.com.

Every person was very understanding about my medical condition and surgery. We also had to take our dog with us due to our dog sitter not being available. I could not postpone surgery. We had a lot of trash for a two night stay so we left $20.00 for the maid and had it all neatly piled for removal. Thank you Fairfield Suites. We will be needinv your hospitality again.

Elevator didn’t work!!!!!!! I wouldn’t consider that to be a breakfast. The same thing everyday fake bacon and fake scrambled eggs. One day in the whole week we were there did they have something different then they had sausage.
- 2/5
No regards to the requests we had when we did the booking. Elevator out of order …had to carry 5 pieces of luggages down the stairs.

The lobby had a constant sulfur smell. Housekeeping only came once and we had to ask for them to come, even though we requested daily housekeeping.
- 2/5
The front desk staff were all very friendly at this Fairfield Marriott. What was frustrating was that when I arrived, she set up daily room cleaning for my room since I had a baby with me. They cleaned the first day but never saw them again after that. I was gone for the majority of the day each day and when I returned, room still not cleaned. And it’s not like I can just ask them to come clean while I step out, if you’ve traveled with a baby, you’ll understand. The hotel was outdated, the breakfast was meh and so was the coffee which is what I’ve come to expect at these free breakfast hotels. They put the crib in the room as I requested but no sheets and when I asked for some, the lady gave me some bed sheets and said I could ask housekeeping for proper crib sheets when they arrived in an hour (it was already late and past the baby’s bedtime). Overall, they stay wasn’t terrible but it’s def not my first choice.
- 5/5
all good great place to stay.
- 4/5
Nice staff. Not quite a suite. Just a room with a microwave. Microwave was broken. Fridge and coffee maker worked. Not convenient for walking to the major malls even though the distance on a map looks like you could. It is on the other side of major highways and no direct walking routes if you do not rent a car.

Hotel was very nice, however pool area was not maintained. Overgrown weeds, dead plants, and pool and jacuzzi needed a good cleaning.

The staff at this hotel were very helpful, friendly, attentive and helpful. The hotel wasnt dirty, just was a limited with amenities and in need of updates. The room was clean, but in need of updates. Everything was in place and operable, but the door lock was difficult to operate when leaving. The shower curtain was way too short for the shower. The tub drain mechanism was missing. The room had a musty but not overpowering odor. Decent location with limited walkable dining options.

Not your average run of the mill breakfast. Fresh bagels and English muffins, three different styles of eggs, sausage and bacon, Danish, juices, fresh fruit, cut melons, yogurts and of course the make your own waffles. Nice and friendly, relaxed dining experience. Coffee and flavored and water regular water available all day.
- 3/5
The location is perfect if you are spending time in Lakewood Ranch. The staff is friendly and helpful, the rooms are comfortable. The bathrooms need some attention, everything is mounted to high. The shower curtains were too high to keep the water in the tub, they mounted the soap and shampoo on the shower wall with the shower head (should be mounted on the opposite wall) and the soap and shampoo was mounted to high, I could barely reach them.

The place was nice and convenient. My biggest complaint was the air conditioner. Would make a lot of noise. I tried moving to another room but that room wasn’t any better. It at times woke me during the night.

That should be flagged by Hotels.com.

The hotel was clean & located near restaurants & easy access to I-75. But beware - if you make reservations for someone else in your travel party & guarantee it with your credit card, they will charge the room to your credit card when the other party checked in. I even got a manager involved, who said it was fixed, but I still got charged for 5 days of someone else's room. Otherwise, our biggest issue was that there is never anyone at the front desk. No recycle options.
