What guests think

Travellers describe Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Aiken as generally friendly and convenient for downtown, restaurants, and events, but ongoing renovations have at times closed amenities like the pool and gym and caused access hassles or lobby disruption.

Rooms are often spacious and comfortable, yet dated, with recurring maintenance issues such as weak shower pressure, noisy or inefficient AC, worn fixtures, and occasional hallway or door-slam noise. Cleanliness feedback ranges from very clean facilities to notable lapses like mildew odors, missed housekeeping, and occasional dirty linens. Breakfast is frequently praised for variety and friendly attendants, though some found it average and hours early. Best for straightforward stopovers; verify amenity availability and room condition beforehand.

Our first impression as we drove up to the property was moderate. The area was fine, nothing spectacular. We were there for a horse show at Stable View, and the location of this hotel worked well. Once inside, we were pleasantly surprised. The staff was very nice, and the hotel (while worn in places) was very clean. Breakfast was nice with a decent selection of items. The indoor pool was very small, but we never saw more than 2 people using it. The gym facilities were nice. We would stay here again; we only wished they accepted pets.

This location was being renovated. The pool and gym were closed. The breakfast was not good and the front desk staff were not friendly. I checked out a day early but was told I still needed to pay for the entire stay. I will not stay at Marriott again.

Major renovations ongoing! No warning at booking. Front desk people had an attitude about it. Do not book!!! The room itself was clean. Access to the building was very difficult while handling a suitcase. Dreadful experience.

Undergoing renovation to be fair. There was more outside lighting at the hotel next door. I can see how it may feel unsafe to some. I checked in @ 9 or so. Clerk had music playing a little loud. He turned it down some when I came in, off would have been better. He was a pleasant person. I had to change rooms because my first room smelled overpowering of bleach. I called the front desk and got no answer but I didn't get hassled about the change. Both rooms were spacious and very clean. Otherwise an uneventful stay.

We enjoyed our stay. The first night we couldn't watch TV because there wasn't a remote. It was taken care of the very next morning. Very clean facilities and the staff was very professional and accommodating. The breakfast wasn't as goid as other Fairfields weve stayed at around the country.

The Fairfield Inn of Aiken SC was clean we were met with friendly check-in staff and the housekeeping staff was equally as friendly. The morning morning breakfast staff was just as friendly and when we were checking out we were greeted by a front desk clerk who greeted us in the same friendly manner. The rooms were clean, as were the elevator and the breakfast bar. The breakfast was hot and yummy. Full of a variety of both hot and cold choices to choose from. We will definitely be back to stay here again in again in the future as our needs arise bringing us to Aiken overnight.

This hotel was not great. The room had a terrible mildew smell and after leaving our clothes and bags smelled like mildew as well. The toilet was not cleaned and not even flushed during cleaning. The floors of the hotel room were damp as well. Definitely not a good experience.

I was coming in for a family reunion after hosting a family reunion at Fairfield in Jacksonville FL which got great reviews from my family. My stay here however was one of the most disappointing visits I've had in years. The toilet seat was not cleaned at all seeing that hairs were atound the top and #2 stains were on the seat. I immediately went back to the front desk and was about to ask for new room but I had been on the road for almost 5 hours and just wanted to change and go to my family event. They had someone come and clean the bathroom again. When i was about to change i notice one singular pillow on the sofa and the other one missing. Ive never been in a Marriott hotel with one pillow on a sofa chair. Lastly, the bed cover had black specks all over the top of it like lint or debri coming from the AC vent. I pulled the cover off to see if it would accumulate on the linen but it didn't which told me it wasnt the AC. I just slept with the top cover folded back. Ive been here 3 to 4 times this year but i might have to select another hotel if this type of housekeeping is the normal.

Clean place. Staff at check in not so friendly. The room did not have USB plugs. The regular power plugs did not work to charge electronics. Some light bulbs were burned out. Microwave and coffees pot not connected and not obvious place to plug them. Although the room was clean, the hotel is poorly maintained.

The hotel is old, has great appearance on outside, but they need to work on some of the things in rooms. TiB had a terrible water stain in it. The tub needs to be pulled up and replaced. The closet door was off the track, so it was extremely hard to get in and out of. One night was tolerable, but I think if you wanted to stay multiple days. You may need to request that these things are done before staying. I’m sure they have better rooms, but our selected room was very poor and not worth the price we paid for room.

Checking in was a complete nightmare, I get there and I haf to wind up paying.$89.00.more dollars after using my $100.00.afterpay gift card and it took an 1hr.1/2 to get an ok email from you all before I could get a room...I was hot, tired, aggregated and hungry. Mind you I got there at 9:00 and didn't get a room til almost 11:00. Not what I expected at all, I thought going through yal I would have saved money and everything would have been taken care of and I could walk right in show my id pay the difference and that be it, not the case here and I'm very upset with the situation, and also the rate for last night was $148.00 and I can't figure out why I had to pay $189.00.

We liked that the hotel was not far from the Interstate, and it was convenient to nearby restaurants. Also, it was quiet and we felt safe. Signs posted that were some renovations going on, we noticed two of our light bulbs were out in our room (one in the wall sconce and one in the corner lamp or at the desk) I think. Overall, we will definitely stay again. :-)
