What guests think

Across the reviews, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Raleigh Cary is often praised for clean rooms, friendly staff, a convenient location near restaurants and highways, and a good breakfast that many found plentiful and well run.

Guests describe rooms as comfortable and modern, though several report thin walls, slamming doors, highway noise, or loud air conditioners, plus occasional issues with streaming TVs or auto-sleeping mini fridges. Facilities are generally in good shape, with an indoor pool and small gym noted, but there are sporadic complaints about a closed or overly chlorinated pool, tight or shared parking, and tricky access due to one‑way roads or U‑turns. Overall, it suits travelers seeking reliable comfort and value, though light sleepers may want earplugs.

The main concern we had was later in the evening it seemed like there were not enough parking spaces. We came back from the Hurricanes game around 11:30 pm. we had a suite. Clean, safe.

Perfectly located near the family we were visiting. Our granddaughter loved the pool. Unit needed towel bars which weren't located directly over the toilet. Ugh! Breakfast bar was serviceable but nothing out of the ordinary. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

The front desk staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. The pool water was so dirty you could not see the bottom of the pool. There is a mobile security tower in the parking lot which are generally utilize to combat auto break-in.

A very clean and comfortable place to stay. Very modern and up to date amenities. The breakfast in the morning is a bonus for travelers on the go, or those who stay for a while. The gym is small yet efficient, and the pool is indoors. This is a great place to stay.

Our room had dead bug smashed in shower curtain and mold along edge of tub, and handle to turn on water about to come out of wall. Air conditioner sounded like a jet plane screeching every time it came on and turned off. Tried to switch rooms couldn’t because full so by the lobby. Lobby was super loud until past 10:30 at night so couldn’t fall asleep. Staff could have closed doors to hallway or asked people to quiet down but didn’t first floor room by lobby was awful.

Hotel very clean and updated! We did have issue with our bathtub not draining; therefore taking a shower wasnt pleasant due to the standing water! Also we requested clean towels and wash clothes; they asked us to walk down to retrieve request! Upon arrival down; there were workers at dest doing absolutely nothing and could have brought request to our room!

Staff were really nice. Overall very clean, Pool was a little too clean that actually felt like bleach levels were a little high. Room was clean but had a cigarette burn on one of the couch pillows. The one thing that really disappointed me was that the fridge only ran for two hours at the time which cause the food to spoiled. I left a tip at the front desk for the housekeeping person that clean over the weekend I hope she gets it.

By far the worst bed I’ve ever slept on. I was miserable and didn’t sleep for days. So hard and coils digging into your hip or back. I bought pillows at home goods because theirs were like pancakes. Indoor pool was dirty, tiny, and very cold. Breakfast was good but ends too early on weekdays. No handheld or bench in shower. AC made me so dry because it blasted my side of the bed.

Unfortunately, Smart TV services (Netflix, YouTube, etc.) weren't working in the room, and though the front desk staff said they'd look into it, the problem was never resolved over the course of our 3-day stay. Overall pleasant experience.

Nice looking hotel, but guest room walls are paper thin, so you hear everything next door. The guest room’s doors slam loudly throughout the hotel. My room had a badly leaking air conditioner, leaving carpet wet. And, the lobby smelled like chlorine because the indoor pool is right down the hall. So, no, won’t be staying there again

The second day on our stay I smelled some wonderful food and the front desk man invited us to eat with staff on their monthly appreciation lunch. Southern hospitality at its finest. The best customer service ive ever experienced. Thank you

The room was noisy from the cars driving on the freeway behind the hotel. Rooms TV kept saying no internet when try to use youtube or netflix, called the front desk repeatedly & even spoke to a manger in the 2 nights I stayed, however it never got fixed, I asked the front desk to change my room but they refused, i was told that the GM will reach out to me regarding the issue, i guess the GM was too busy to take care of the hotels guests.

I initially didn't know which days I'd be at the hotel so I booked 2 options. I thought I cancelled one option and did not. When I arrived and checked in the staff notified me that both bookings were still active. They were very understanding and helped me cancel one of the bookings without a penalty. They were amazing to work with I talked with Sean Grady and Evelyn, would recommend 10/10!!!!

The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the place looked clean and neat. We did not like trying to navigate to get to the property. It was dark outside and not a straight drive onto the property - very twisty - and we originally got kind of turned around. But, other than that our stay was great.

Check in was quick and easy and after a long drive it was definitely appreciated. Hotel lobby and common areas were spic and span. Room was spacious, bed was soft and bathroom was clean. It was nestled in a lil cut off the road, which made sleeping so peaceful. There restaurants in walking distance and even more in just a short drive. Shopping was nearby and made our stay that more enjoyable. Will definitely be back.

It was almost as if this hotel was in the midst of a half upgrade? Keep in mind we had the ADA accessible room for my husband. The drain in the tub did not work at all. The air is set and can’t go below 64 but yet the temp in the room was 71. There was no hair dryer. The bed seemed as if a huge elephant had slept in it for years so we slept none after having to fight to keep from rolling into one another from the bed sides being so arched and sunk in. I will say the breakfast was impressive and easily accessible but it’s over at 9 am instead of the usual 10 or 11. There is no privacy through the walls or floors as we could hear our side neighbors as well as above neighbors horribly. Lastly we were not made aware they were doing extensive construction across the parking lot and they start at daylight so although we slept poorly throughout the night we were also awaken by construction around 7 am. This was our seventh year wedding anniversary and it wasn’t the greatest stay for our first visit.
