"The room and amenities were great and the staff were pleasant, welcoming, and friendly. The manager was very helpful too- she was practically everywhere and helping do things like mop, clean, cover the desk, and room service. We have stayed at some Fairfield properties that were lacking the cleanliness and quality you’d expect of Marriott but this facility was not one: this is a nice place to stay with a family. Conveniently located by the highway and super close to the soccer field complex and Costco. Would recommend!"
