What guests think

At Fairfield Inn by Marriott Joliet South, travelers frequently highlight generally clean, comfortable rooms and a convenient location near I-80 that works well for road trips and quick access to nearby dining and services.

Breakfast feedback ranges from great and hot to limited or missing items during busy periods. Facilities draw mixed comments: the pool is described as small, cold, cloudy, or occasionally closed or under repair, and some guests also mention no hot tub despite photos and a charge for parking. Service is often praised as friendly and accommodating, though a few guests reported an understaffed front desk and inconsistent housekeeping. Suited to quick stopovers if amenities are not your priority.

Welcomed in, very loud underneath us. It was a birthday party with lots of kids. Wanted to swim and the pool was very cloudy with a lot of stuff floating in it. Will stay next door next month.

Stay at hotel was fair nothing to brag about . The hotel had a pool rep at desk stated it was closed for some reason after we asked about it only to find several other guests were permitted to use pool didn’t make sense at all . Unlikely that we return to stay again. Unfriendly front desk staff.

It was a quick check in and the room was clean, but when you first walk in, the carpet had stains all over and there was something smeared on the floor that didn’t get cleaned up until morning. The pool was small, which is fine, but the water was so COLD! It was not enjoyable and you couldn’t stay in it for long because it was so cold! Breakfast was not good! They had a variety to offer, but were out of so many things. No syrup, pepper, or milk are a few. The excuse was that there was a large group that wiped them out the weekend before. The waffle batter ran out about 20 minutes before breakfast was done and she washed it and put it away instead of refilling. We had a long trip and stayed in many different places, and this breakfast time was by far the worst experience. I would not stay here again.

Overall it was a good stay, the facility is clean and staff was friendly. However, we went specifically because of the heated pool/hot tub (hot tub was shown in pictures) and the pool floor was dirty, cold, and no hot tub at all.

No syrup at breakfast. One side of pool is 3 feet deep, other side is 4 foot. Pool is very dmall and can get crowded very quickly. Air condition turned onworked for about three minutes and then shut off. Hotels.com booked us in a room with only a queen size bed. So three people ended up sleeping on the floor.

The staff was friendly but overwhelmed and not always available when needed. The condition of the room was old and the building, was very worn down. The unfinished wall by the pool and the condition of the tiles around the pool were poor.

Charged for parking which is BS. Expedia has free parking. Phones are garbage, people can't call you and the front desk can't transfer either. Useless. And the front desk help... less than pleasant.

Carpet in room 219 has several large stains on the floor, the showers makes a loud noise through the walls of the restroom, the towels were a dingy white and the elevator was broken. This hotel definitely didn’t meet the standard of a Marriot.

The staff was nice enough but not very engaging, didn’t seem like they were interested in having guests even upon check-out. Window was not lockable. Tons of construction around the area and not great signage for where to go. Overall disappointing and definitely not worth the money!

The facility was new and modern. Room was clean and spacious. The staff seemed to be a little hassled to have to work. I don’t want to have to ring a bell to get help because the staff is always missing from the desk. The accommodations were nice but I stayed at the hotel next door the following night and the “experience” part of it was so much better.

We had another amazing stay! We were welcomed back, with a hand written note, water and chocolates! How gracious! Once again, great service, the kitchen staff was very helpful, front desk services are wonderful! My favorite front desk worker, I believe her name is Shawna, had great recommendations and helped us get settled in our room quickly and efficiently. I will definitely be back again! My 84 y/o Mother loves this Hotel! Only recommendation would be to add grab bars in the showers, and maybe a non slip mat or paint or something to the shower floors.

I checked into Fairfield Inn on Wednesday July, 2 2025 and was asked if l needed House Keeping during my stay and said l did. But l did not receive House Keeping service until Sunday July 6, 2025, after inquiring 2 previous times. Also the hotel AC unit in the lobby leaked my entire stay. I had to take my trash out my almost entire stay. Also the first floor Ice machine leaked half of my stay.

The Hotel staff were amazing! The clerk at night (Toni ?) Went out of her way to find a room with the walk in shower to accomodate my Mother. The breakfasts were amazing! Only suggestions: accessible rooms should have bars to grab in the shower area, and a bar next to the toilet. In addition, the beds are extremely high. Other than that, it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend staying here. Last but not least, close to the highway, and there was food very close by.

Very nice staff, room was clean and it was a good room. Microwave in the room which was nice and had full size shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the room which was convenient and looked to be possibly locked closed which makes it feel more hygienic. Wish there was a hot tub and just wish they had more breakfast, there were several options but we came down about 8:45am and a lot of the hot option were empty or down to the last scoop, not sure if it’s serve till gone so that may have just been our mistake for not being there earlier but the staff was very nice from check in to check out so I was very happy.
