What guests think

Across the reviews for Fairfield Inn & Suites Roanoke Hollins/I-81, travelers frequently praise the clean, comfortable rooms, welcoming staff, and convenient location just off I 81, along with a satisfying, varied breakfast that exceeds typical expectations.

Several reviews note ongoing renovations and occasional housekeeping lapses (such as stink bugs or missed vacuuming), plus intermittent maintenance or comfort issues like weak hot water, noisy HVAC, a poor sofa bed, or an unresolved toilet problem. It suits visits to Hollins University and I 81 travel; a few guests reported traffic noise, and the pet friendly policy carries a fee with occasional dog related disturbances. Overall, it is a dependable roadside stay with a few caveats.

The Fairfield Inn in Roanoke was a great place to stay for a Hollins University graduation. It is minutes away from the school, grocery, Dunkin donuts and the convention center. Staff is helpful, knowledgeable, kind and has treats and snacks for check in! We were asked the reason for our visit and then presented with a little gift box shaped like a mortarboard filled with chocolate and when they saw the pup companion, they had a doggie bag for them. There were renovations happening while we stayed but did not see any work being done as it was the weekend. All in all, I would stay again.

This was the perfect hotel for a quick one night stay. The hotel itself was conveniently off the highway (yet in a quiet area). The parking lot was well lit with security cameras. The hotel and the rooms were very clean and made you feel safe. Hotel breakfast was yummy with lots of options, including fluffy eggs! Lastly I want to compliment the hotel for a standard checkout time of 12pm! So nice!

The furniture in our room was very nice and the surfaces were clean. However, when we attempted to access an outlet, we found a pair of men's boxers on the floor behind the chair and other small items behind the dresser. My husband killed 12 helmet shaped bugs crawling on the curtains and ceiling; the window jam was filled with dead bugs. I have the feeling no one had stayed in that particular room for a while. The clerk was pleasant and apologetic when I told her about the issues.

I paid for a larger room with a sofa bed and a king bed. I travel a lot and have never had a complaint about a Marriott property. #1 - the sofa bed mattress was not acceptable for even an animal. #2 - the sheets were dirty #3 - the blanket in the closet that I assume was for it, appeared and smelled like it had not been washed in years #4 - there was a strobe light on maybe the fire alarm - right above the sofa bed. Makes it impossible to sleep- or to put a pack n play in the extra room for our baby to sleep # 5 - the room smelled like smoke and mold - but it was 1 am and our kids had to go to sleep #6 - the AC/Heat unit was so loud and smelled horrendous By far the worst hotel from Marriott I’ve stayed at

When I got to my room, it was full of bugs. When I went down to the desk, they said they would give me a new room, but couldn’t guarantee it wouldn’t have bugs. Now granted they were only stink bugs, but I shouldn’t have to sleep in a room with stink bugs.

If you are looking for a quiet place to sleep, this is not the place. We heard traffic through the windows all night! And 50$ per fee is way too stiff. Beware of booking this location

For a handicap room there needs to be a walk in shower. It is extremely difficult and dangerous to step into a tub. Also there should be some kind of automatic entry door into the room for people in wheelchairs, those doors are so heavy they are difficult to open and manuver a wheelchair through at the same time.

Booked this hotel after leaving a disgusting stay down the street and came to check in at about 10:30-11. The hotel was great, but not as great as their employee, Maurice Wood!!! This man was greeted with a full hotel and a line of people at his desk that hotels.com had taken money from for rooms that the hotel didn’t even have! Not only did he apologize as our family sat in his lobby for almost 2 hours trying to find somewhere to go with all the hotels sold out, but he took it upon himself to reach out and call every single hotel in the area to try to find availability. He is by far a man of integrity and sincere class and deserves to be recognized for how amazing he was. Maybe if hotels.com was as impressive as he was, they wouldn’t be the catastrophe that they are!

We drove to the property without a reservation. We asked for a room price that was on their website. Said we couldn't have that price unless we reserved online. My app wouldn't open without my forgotten password. I got a new one but there was an error. Twice. So I went to Expedia and got a good price on there. Silly they couldn't just honor their website price without all the hassle of booking online. Only 8 rooms were full on this Christmas Eve. That being said, everyone was nice, the place was clean, the beds were comfortable, shower was hot and breakfast was great.

The commode in the room wasn’t working and they couldn’t/wouldn’t move me to another room that was equivalent. I was stuck in a room with no working toilet. They gave me a bucket? This is the worst customer service - not acceptable. I will never stay at this hotel ever again! The breakfast was subpar. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel.

I would like to mention how nice the breakfast buffet was! Real whole milk, even chocolate milk, was available; as were fresh bananas and really good eggs. Only complaint is too much artificial light leakage—the thermostat is directly opposite the mirror so the light is reflected brightly.
