What guests think

Comfort Inn & Suites Fayetteville-University Area is praised for convenient access to the university and restaurants, clean rooms, and comfortable beds, while recurring drawbacks include dated spaces, musty or smoke odors in some rooms, and inconsistent breakfast quality and supply.

The indoor pool and common areas draw recurring criticism—pool water cold or cloudy and areas worn—while the hot tub has been removed or is out of service, and the elevator occasionally malfunctions. Staff interactions are commonly positive, yet housekeeping for multi‑night stays can be limited and responses to disturbances or check‑in delays vary. Overall, it suits short, simple stays near campus.

The room was clean and everything worked well (ac, hot shower, etc) so if you are looking for somewhere to stay just a night while passing through it was good for that. Hallways and lobby had a smell of smoking, and I didn’t use the pool as it was cloudy. In the advertisement it said there was a hot tub in the pool area but it was covered with concrete and patio chairs so that isn’t there anymore. Front desk was friendly and housekeeping was friendly as well. Breakfast was good, had everything you can expect from a hotel breakfast. Near a couple restaurants so you have options to eat and drink if you’d like. Overall would stay again when passing through but not for more than a night or two.

Gentleman checking us in was friendly. (Laughed at my husband’s corny jokes so hubby was happy about that). Clean rooms. No jacuzzi in pool area like pictures showed. There was one there it looks like they filled it in with cement. That was a bummer because that was my deciding factor in booking this hotel vs another one. Breakfast wasn’t great. But it got us by. Lots of restaurants walking distance. Would definitely stay here again.

Homepage needs to be updated. Grandson had a dislicated shoulder and was looking forward to the hot tub. No hot tub, it was filled in. Very disappointing. Also, we enjoy swimming and the pool had a sandy residue and was in need of repair. The bottom was in bad shape.

Needs a good updating inside. The rooms are humid and have a musty smell. Carpets stained, dirty, and sticky in areas. Pool had towels shoved in the windows in places and just overall not an appealing/clean area. Pot smell in hallways and stairwells. Had to move rooms twice before finding one we could work with since no refund would be given. Definitely will not stay here again. Staff however were very nice and friendly.

This is usually my go to place when I'm in the area. There was such a smell in the room. It hit you as you opened the door. Smelled like tabacco smoke and a sour smell at the same time. There was kleenex or bath tissue under the shelves where the towels were stored. There was something black on one of the pillow cases and something black (mold, maybe) on the shower curtain. This stay was so noisy with children running all over the place, yelling in the halls, slamming doors, clonking up and down stairs. I know this sometimes happens but whomever was on duty should have said something to the kids or their parents. They HAD to hear all the racket themselves.

It was the worst hotel experience for my wife, oldest daughter and her two daughters. The first room was unclean; it had a dead bug in a sofa bed plus the sheet was dirty. They were moved to a new room where the sofa bed had no sheets and the phone was not working. We should have gotten a refund or at least a partial one. Management never did apologize when asked about all the above. We will never use this hotel again and we make frequent trips to Fayetteville to visit a daughter and her newborn,

Our first room had a problem with sugar ants due to the change in weather. We contacted the front desk & they were able to move us to a different room just down the hall. No issues with ants after that. The only thing we didn't care for was that the "black-out" curtains were only slight panels on the sides of the sheer window curtains. Didn't care for so much sun so early. Generally, people are in hotels to relax. The lack of room darkening shades takes away from the rest & relaxation feature.

The property as a whole was fine. Cons: The doors to the rooms from the hallways had a tendency not to close all the way unless forced (not safe when traveling with a group of minors). The doors inside the rooms did not always close or lock properly. The buttons in the elevator did not light up when pressed. Breakfast selection was meager and a little sad. Walls of room very thin - noisy neighbors sounded like they were inside your room (and with faulty doors, we had to check to make sure that wasn't actually the case). Pros: The beds were comfortable. The water pressure and temperature in the showers were great. The pool room temperature didn’t try to cause heat exhaustion for the adults supervising minors in the water.

Room was clean, but there were only sheers for curtains & at night the street light shined right in my eyes and kept me up. The room smelled terrible. It smelled like that pepper smelling fragrance which I can’t stand. Front desk people were super nice. Breakfast was exact same thing all 4 mornings I was there, but it was good. It was hot and fresh each day.

Room could use some attention - touch up paint on wall, cracked sink, new curtains. Breakfast was very minimal. First morning there was a sign that said we’re out of sausage - there was no other meat.Second morning again there was no meat or gravy to go with the biscuits. Don’t quite understand that when there’s a Walmart close by!

It was ok. I enjoyed the breakfast each day. I was upset about them cleaning our room. We ate out in the evening and had a lot of trash. They didn't seem to know what to do with it. We requested our room be cleaned after the third day was put off until the fifth day. I was disappointed in that. It was somewhat clean. I would recommend if on a business trip but not bring family.

The location was very convenient for my stay. The staff was nice and helpful. I didn't like that in the 4 days I was there, my room was never fully cleaned. Only trash taken out and towels replaced. No other cleaning was done. Additionally, the breakfast offered was the same each day. No issue if staying 1 night, but very repetitive when staying 4 nights.

I stayed at this Comfort Inn for a two-day conference, and it was very serviceable. There are at least three restaurants within walking distance, and lots of other options within a 2-mile radius. Very convenient access to major highways. Breakfast options were limited, but did the job. The room was spacious and clean, although there was a bit of a smell. I got used to it quickly. Overall, quite satisfied.

Came down for breakfast at 7:30 and everything had been completely cleaned out by earlier guests. Either order enough for all guests or limit their food. There was only bagels and horrible juice left. Additionally, there was a leak in the ceiling of the hotel room and soaked everything on the tv console due to a thunderstorm that night.
