Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Athens-University Area

Polite professional young man checked us in. Big comfortable room. Nice bed and pillows. Big shower. Location is quietly out of the fray but quick drive or Uber to anything. Liked the parking deck so I could get my car out of the sun. Had some free weights in the fitness center. Good breakfast.

Clean room and nice staff

Great place

Property was nice inside, rooms were very nice. Free breakfast was average at best. Staff were great and room was very clean

It was conveniently located right down the road from Sanford Stadium

My family and I stayed at the Fairfield by Marriott in Athens, Georgia on Saturday, August 30th, and had a terrible experience. Around 2 AM, we woke up to find our air conditioning unit blowing heat. The wall unit would not shut off, and the room quickly reached close to 100°. I had to physically unplug it from the wall just to stop it. This wasn’t just inconvenient—it was unsafe. Myself, my father, and my children were in the room, all of us stuck in the heat. The maintenance worker, Sean, came up and was very apologetic, promising we would be compensated for the situation. Since then, I’ve spent five days trying to reach the manager, Adi, who is apparently always “in a meeting, at lunch, or out of the building.” Not once has she returned my calls. The lack of accountability and follow-up is extremely disappointing. Guests should not have to chase management down for days after such a serious issue. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone based on my experience.

It was clean and not too busy. The staff was friendly and the pool was inside so my daughter got to swim in her birthday when we were afraid it might rain!
