Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Athens-University Area

Foyer / reception modern, bright, clean, spacious. Room large and comfortable. Bathroom very modern. Gym pretty compact with just free weights and small number cardio machines. Free breakfast okay - basic! Plenty of places to eat within walking distance. Great coffee at Jittery Joes. Too far to walk to UGA - I was told just over mile but it’s more like 2-2.5 miles. Good size car park.

It was our second time staying here while visiting our daughter at UGA. Very nice and clean. Parking can be an issue.

Pool was small but clean and enjoyable. The breakfast bar was pretty good. The staff was ok. Kept knocking on the door before checkout time. Our refrigerator didn't work, the air kept quitting and it was rather hot trying to sleep. Overall the trip was rather good but the staff wasn't very friendly. They got us a new refrigerator. I didn't bother telling them about the air because they were kind of unapproachable. Also the elevator made a crazy noise and seemed like it dropped a few feet so we took the stairs the rest of the trip because the staff didn't seem very concerned.

Clean, quiet, convenient

I have stayed at this hotel many times, however 2 issues arose this time that would keep me from giving it 5 stars. One, housekeeping never came during my 4 night stay. I was a bit surprised at that. Thankfully, I made it work with the towels I had. Two, the AC unit in my room got incredibly noisy and loud around 4am. The compressor was whining badly. I tried turning it off but no luck. I did let the front desk know about it that morning and they said they would have maintenance look at it. Thankfully, it was quieter the remainder of my stay.
