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.

For starters, the elevators were off service the whole time (3 days) no elevator and 3rd floor room. Way too expensive for the quality.

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 The room felt very outdated and in need of a complete refresh.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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
