Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Williamsburg

It was close to shopping and the venue for our visit.

The cleanliness was an issue. The sidechair in the room was stained with God knows what. The TV did not get local channels we wanted to watch. The tub did not drain. VERY noisy and we could not get the front desk to answer when the noise was disruptive to our sleep. I also booked one king-sized bed and arrived to the room to find two queen-sized beds.

The location for this property is great, especially if you’re visiting various areas of the Triangle. To my present surprise, there’s a public bus stop right outside the hotel for a bus that runs to Merchant Square. I ended up taking the bus down and back three days in a row to Colonial Williamsburg ($3 total each day for a day pass), allowing me to leave my car at the hotel. Staff are really friendly, welcoming, and helpful. A special thanks to Tawana at the front desk and Lyric and Sally at breakfast. Breakfast is excellent, far more than I expected to include scrambled eggs (hard boiled as well), biscuits, sausage, and real fresh fruit! Like, cantaloupe and honey dew! Beautiful lobby and plenty of parking.

Bottom line, the hotel is tired, and I was told there’s a makeover scheduled next year. The short tub, fixed shower head, protruding sink, low quality coffee maker, etc were all outdated and worn. WHY are the toilets at the level of an elementary school toilet?? Only one of the two elevators seemed functional the entire week I was there. It worked for me for the price (relative to surrounding hotels) and the great breakfast and staff partly offset how outdated it is. (The lobby is fresh and cool, the rooms, not so much.) Just be aware of the pros and cons.
