What guests think

At Fairfield Inn Muncie, many reviewers highlight clean rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient location near Ball State and dining, with a generally good, varied breakfast; however, experiences vary due to property age and occasional maintenance or service issues.

Rooms are comfortable for many, but fixtures feel dated, and older HVAC units can be loud or ineffective. Cleanliness earns frequent praise, but recurring reports cite musty or smoke odors and occasional insects or stained linens. Facilities show mixed feedback, with pool closures or water quality complaints and parking disruptions or small fees; overall, expect a simple, functional stay suited to short visits.

When online and I reserve a room because we were there for volleyball, and it showed a pool that's why I chose it. A group of girls for volleyball stayed here to have the pool. If the pool is closed it needs to say that online. I could have gotten a $100 cheaper room across the street with no pool. This was ridiculous. That's all my girls look forward to. It should have been given to me at a cheaper price after going to customer service about this

Absolutely beat down hotel. Desperate need of some maintenance and some paint. HVAC system in the room was so loud that we got very little sleep. And they charged $3 to park. Come on, you aren't a downtown hotel where parking is limited. What a joke. My best advice would be to avoid this place at all costs. If it's the only hotel in town available you would be better off just sleeping in your car that night.

Very disappointed main reason for choosing this hotel was the pool which was all locked up and unusable could have gotten a cheaper hotel if i would have known. Staff was nice. We checked in on a friday and out on Wednesday house keeping was never in our room had to go to front desk to ask for fresh towels. Hallways and elevator floors were not clean. However they offer a very good breakfast

I was not informed of parking lot construction and had to park across the street. The street was very busy with constant traffic. This is something that the hotel should have informed guests about upon booking. Also, there staff was very unprofessional or not available.

Swimming pool water was too salty. I have a salt water outdoor pool at my house so i know that the salt used in this pool was out of balance. It should not burn the eyes and have an overwhelming salty taste

Bed was comfortable linens were crisp. The shower was very outdated with mold around the tub. The airconditioner was one of the loudest I have ever encountered. The parking lot had a large portable light post in the middle of it and gave us the feeling there may be some break ins of cars there.

Nice hotel. It was a breath of fresh air going there after having to abruptly leave the hotel across the street because of bugs and poor accommodations. Hotel was clean and i have no complaints. It was a standard breakfast of biscuits and gravy and eggs and bacon. Normal Fairfield breakfast. Muncie isn’t a town I’d visit for anything fun because there is nothing to do and the food in the area is subpar but i know a lot of people go for the college which is why i was there for a weekend. Don’t plan to visit anytime soon but if i have to I’d stay at the Fairfield again.

This hotel needs updating inside and out. The room was damp and musty and the old AC unit in room was no help. In general, this hotel had an overall musty smell that was covered by air fresheners throughout the building. The staff were all nice and the included breakfast was decent.

We stayed in the king suite. It was clean and spacious. It's not nice to have a sitting area. But the TV can't be seen from the couch since it's in a cabinet. The pull out sofa was TERRIBLE! Thin "mattress" with springs poking you. Bring your own bedding, because the blankets are super light. Traffic noise was terrible, so best to be on opposite side of hotel. Breakfast was great. Manager was helpful and nice!

My stay at Fairfield was friendly, clean and safe. I had had a bad experience the night before at a different hotel chain. I told the clerk at the front desk (Valentina) about my experience, and she was very understanding and delightful to talk with. Check-in was a breeze and Valentina even called to check on me later. I appreciated that very much. My room was spacious and clean. It was a relief to feel safe and comfortable. I slept like a baby.

I reversed Two Queen Beds for two adult women, the hotel was overbooked & changed my reservation to a King Bed with a sofa sleeper. No call, no email before my arrival & nothing when I checked in. After I walked into my room & noticed the mistake, I went down to the front desk to let them know. Front desk informed me that because of the overbooking, her manager changed my room. A whole baseball team was staying at the hotel so I guess they got priority. Not what I expect from a Marriott. I asked for a credit, but the manager was off that day, I guess nothing will be done. I will definitely rethink staying at a Marriott again.

The breakfast attendant was very helpful and friendly. She even brought out a plate of bacon for our aunt when she heard her say she wanted some. This was especially nice because our aunt and all of us were in town for her sister’s funeral (my mother-in-law). This hotel is good choice when visiting Muncie, especially if you want to be near Ball State or the north side of town.
