What guests think

At Fairfield Inn & Suites Indianapolis Airport, travelers frequently praise the friendly, accommodating staff, generally clean rooms, and convenient airport location, while noting ongoing renovations, dated areas, and occasional maintenance issues like elevators, HVAC, and key or shuttle problems.

Breakfast feedback ranges from plentiful and tasty to limited or crowded, with seating sometimes tight and items not always restocked. Rooms vary in size and comfort; some are quiet and well equipped, others feel small or worn and have noisy or hard to control air conditioning. The immediate area is convenient to highways and the airport but feels industrial or rough to some, with limited dining within walking distance. Expect solid airport convenience and value, with facilities and breakfast experiences that can be hit or miss during renovation.

We booked our stay at this hotel because of the airport shuttle 11:00 and we needed to pay an additional $30 for a taxi. This should have been disclosed on website.

Elevator working, then not, then out. No staff to assist getting luggage down 3 flights of stairs. AC could not be adjusted so we put towel over it to lessen the frigid air blowing full blast. One meek, soft speaking employee when we checked in. The next morning, a person preparing bkfst who had to call the front desk person out of a side room to help those checking out and print receipts. She knew we were there too. Never again.

Disappointed that the pool was closed. But the worst thing was that there was something white and disgusting on the sheer curtains. It looked like a bodily function and it completely grossed us out. Made ya doubt the cleanliness of the rest of the room. Also, there was not a great selection of food places around. The website said there was a restaurant on site. There was not!

The hotel is under construction, this information would be extremely useful to know BEFORE booking. Aside from the noise, the breakfast is subpar. Staff are nice though.

Great staff and service. Everything was clean and breakfast area was kept stocked and clean. They are getting ready to renovate so there is some wear showing, but the kind staff and cleanliness matter more to me and that's where they excelled.

The toilet was SO dirty in the bowl. It looked like mold, or something. Or not cleaned after someone was really sick. Super gross. Usually I am fine drinking water from the tap but seeing how gross the toilet was I wasn’t sure how clean anything was.

I will never stay in this hotel again. I will also be contacting Marriott as soon as I have time to let them know why. The sheets were clearly not even changed. The room was dirty. Even the elevators were dirty and smelly. I am not someone who usually complains but this was not a good experience. I am a Marriott Bonvoy Member and plan to see a refund on this night. This is the first time I've used Hotels.com and will probably not use them again.

The property itself was pretty nice, but we were missing trash bags in the room when we checked in. The staff remedied that pretty quickly. The main issue was the noise. The people above us sounded like they were jumping off the bed at 9:30-10pm. Not ideal when you have a little one that needs to sleep. We let it go the first night, but the second night was so bad we had to go speak to the front desk after 20-30 minutes of the racket. They called the offending room, and after another 10 minutes or so it settled down. Then at 2:30am people were yelling and cursing in the hallway which again woke up our child who was then up for the rest of the night. Unfortunately it was not a restful weekend and was quite disappointing.

The beds were advertised as queen, they are not. They are DOUBLE. Very uncomfortable. The room was small. The walls are thin. We could also hear people constantly running thru the halls. Would not recommend for families. The shower was good. The staff was great! The pool was good size for our needs. The lobby had a great table for groups. We were pleased with the breakfast.

Fairfield Inn is a good choice for an overnight stay. It was quiet, there was a nice breakfast spread and the desk personnel were quite friendly and efficient. My only complaint is that I was unable to turn down the fan in the room. I found it rather loud.

This was a quick overnight stay on our way home from a weekend away. The beds were good, the room clean. I would say the only issue we had was trying to get the room cool enough. The air conditioning fan was really loud and just didn’t work the best. The hotel was easy to get to, it was right off the interstate. Would definitely stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Fairfield at Southern Ave in Indianapolis. The rooms were clean, service was fantastic, staff were very courteous. Clarence Patton - Asst General Manager went above and beyond to ensure that we had a good stay. He also explained about the places to go around and did it with a very pleasing smile. Will give it a perfect 10/10.

I made the 1-night reservation the very same day as check-in, actually while I was at my departing airport (so there were rooms available same day at this hotel). Unfortunately, my flight was then canceled (not even more than a few hours after I booked this room) and there were absolutely no flight options to fly out that night. I spoke with Expedia who then contacted the hotel directly to ask for a refund. The hotel denied it. While I was still chatting with Expedia, I called the hotel myself, explained my flight was canceled, and they said they would contact the general manager to ask for approval. I was on hold for 25 minutes. I finally hung up and called back again. After another couple minutes of waiting, they inform me the general manager has not approved my cancellation and I will not be refunded my money. If rooms were sold out for weeks I would understand. Rooms were still available. Terrible customer service.

The property was well maintained but the pavement heading in had potholes and debris. The building was nice and clean and well maintained. The staff wasn’t as knowledgeable as they should be. We were double charged and the staff had to give us the General Managers business card because they didn’t know how to fix it.

Everything was pretty good. Rooms were comfortable, not a lot of noise except the AC unit that could be a bit loud. There is not much in the immediate area but down town is so close and the cost of our stay made it it much more worth while to stay here and renting a car vs. taking a lyft/uber or worse yet paying $30-$50 per day in valet parking at over priced downtown hotels. I'd say the breakfast was the worst part; almost everything was gone and what was there was not great. Cup of coffee sufficed... If you're not spending a lot of time in the room and you need a clean/comfortable place to crash this place is well worth it overall and would definitely stay again.

The team members were extremely helpful and their reaction time was immediate. The breakfast was amazing Thursday-Saturday but when the regular person wasn’t there for breakfast on Sunday, it was definitely lacking. There are some upgrades that need to occur in this facility and although they said they are scheduled for the end of the year, there are small things they can do now such as fix the TVs in the gathering area in the lobby and the workout room.
