Fairfield Inn & Suites Merrillville

Close to highway.

Needs TLC.

THE POOL WAS NOT HEATED, WAS DIRTY, AND THE AREA HAD NOT BEEN CLEANED. WHEN I ASKED THE DESK CLERK THEIR RESPONSE WAS I THOUGHT IT WAS A HEATED POOL TOO, BUT GUESS NOT. I TOLD THEM THE AREA NEEDED TO BE TENDED TO. NEVER BEEN BACK OUT THERE AGAIN.

I have stayed at this same Fairfield Inn, many times over the years as I came to visiit family. This is my last time. The hotel has not been updated in many many years. The rooms are small and the bathroom was minuscule. The carpet is showing extreme Wear. The whole place has kind of a dingy feeling. The breakfast was above average and well stocked. The people at the reception desk were very friendly as were all the workers that we met in the hallways. But this is not a hotel of 2026 quality.

It was clean. The staff was great.

Not applicable.

The location was right off the highway.

The rooms were outdated. No USB or type C charger ports. No alarm clock.

Always stay at Marriott Hotels and this was worst experience I’ve had. Road noise is a huge problem. Hotel should have been updated 5 years ago as hall carpet is duct tapped in areas and room HVAC are loud.
