What guests think

At Fairfield Inn & Suites Mount Vernon Rend Lake, travelers commonly highlight clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient location near the interstate and restaurants, making it a practical stop for road trips or short stays.

However, ongoing renovations have affected experiences at times, with reports of construction activity and occasional inconvenience. The pool and hot tub are often unavailable or uninviting, and some guests encountered access issues or dark water. Breakfast feedback ranges from very good to average, and there are occasional maintenance quirks like elevator noise or outages and in-room equipment problems. Expect a clean, convenient stay with limits around the pool and periodic renovation impacts.

Undergoing renovations but was still a high price. Bathroom clogged, weird orange fluid on the walls, lobby leaking, smelled moldy in the hotel, and the pool didn’t have lights in it so was dark and small and uninviting. Otherwise it was quiet and the beds were pretty comfortable. I wouldn’t stay here again for the price we paid.

Clean and comfortable with great amenities and staff. However you have to go to the front desk and ask them to let you into the pool area because the door won’t accept anyone’s room key. It’s embarrassing to walk into the lobby in a bathing suit. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

The breakfast was unusually good, with a crustless spinach quiche that was delicious. The hotel is somewhat dated, and could use some attention to details. The bathroom was dimly lit, and the whirlpool pictured on the website was filled in with cement. The staff was universally friendly and helpful.

The property was clean, I was told there was a whirlpool which had been taken down. The staff was very short with us answering questions. We stayed in 409 the housekeeper on that floor was very nice. Need better selection for breakfast. The POOL was dark blue/green scared to get in. I expected better paying $167.

It was very comfortable, but the hot tub spa was covered with wood and not available to use and the pool was not inviting, and I will know to call first to see if the hot tub is working wherever I am going before booking.

Hotel pool and hot tub broken, hotel front desks says its been broken for over 6 months, one of the main reasons we booked this hotel. Rooms are decent. Cleanliness leaves something to be desired. When we stepped off the elevator there was food by the elevator door that was there all night long. Staff was friendly.

We stayed in a room near the elevator. That elevator was so loud and made so much noise - not like any I’ve been around before. Heard it all night. The breakfast was just ok. Juice machine didn’t work; quality of food was eh; not much going on in the coffee area. Was very disappointing for a Marriott hotel.

There are quite a few restaurants within a mile or so of the property but you have to drive through a sketchy part near the hotel. The check in associate at the desk was doing the minimum he could to get people checked in and it took awhile. A group of about four men were trying to check in before us but they weren’t even ready. We’re waiting for another guy to come to the desk w payment and we had to just stand there and wait for them to get their crap together.
