What guests think

Across many reviews of Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Athens, guests consistently praise the welcoming staff and very clean, modern spaces, plus a convenient location near Ohio University and amenities, and a satisfying complimentary breakfast with good variety.

Rooms are described as comfortable, quiet, and often spacious, with strong showers and good water pressure. Amenities mentioned include an indoor pool, an outdoor patio with a fire pit, and ample parking. Downsides appear occasionally: a few maintenance or cleanliness lapses (stink bugs, balcony grime, hair in a shower), some breakfast inconsistencies, rare front desk delays, noise near certain rooms, tricky driveway signage, and minor room quirks like warm thermostats or no USB outlets. Overall, it delivers a dependable midrange stay for most travelers.

Nice clean hotel. Staff was super friendly and offered to turn on the fire pit for that night - and we hung outside for a little. Breakfast was a 7 out of 10.

We were up in Athens to do the Windy 9 motorcycle rides. The Fairfield was the perfect location to start and finish all the rides and the parking was perfect for our truck and trailer. The hotel was clean and quiet and had a great selection of foods for breakfast.

This was a great place to stay. Very good breakfast for the value, good for families, okay indoor pool, and very nice and helpful staff. We needed to print a parking pass for our college visit and they helped my niece figure it out. If we return to the area, we will be sure to stay here again.

They lack any usb outlets. the covers are thick so it's a hot/cold night. Otherwise an excellent stay. the staff is outstanding and the hotel is comfortable, accommodating and in good shape with a great little pool and outdoor patio with fire pit. It is in a commercial area.

The property itself is nice and modern, however, after check in we were alerted about a stink bug problem. We had at least 12 in our room. I would not have booked this if I knew about the stink bugs ahead of time. The front desk staff were very helpful and removed several of the bugs from our room.

We stayed two nights for a quick get away to Hocling Hills to ATV and kayak. We would recommend this hotel to anyone. Great location with many places around. We needed more towels which they were accommodating and the rooms were very clean. It was so quiet and the beds comfortable. The only thing we experienced was towels that smelled old but we asked for new and they replaced them immediately. Staff was very nice and bathrooms clean. We will be back. Thanks for a great stay!!!

Looking out our balcony there was a lot of scum. It was disgusting. Also, the lids for the coffee cups are a bad fit. Coffee was spilled on my husband twice. Other than that it was great.

Good location close to OU, but away from the busy campus. Was a quick commute to the campus. Only issue I encountered was the thermostat for heat could not go below 68 F, and the room temp stayed around 72 F, which is a littler warmer than I like to sleep. Also seemed to be very noisy between 10pm to 12:00am and again from 5:00 am to 6:00 am.
