Fairfield Inn & Suites Columbus

I’ve been staying here a couple times a week for the past 3 years and thoroughly enjoy it it’s convenient to everything. And now that it’s renovated the rooms are even nicer… Life is good!

This hotel wasn’t the best nor was it the worst. It fulfilled it’s purpose as a place to lay down my head after a long flight to ATL followed by a long drive down to Columbus. The hotel must be either new or newly purchased by Marriott as you could tell there were some recent renovations.
The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable (mattress was a bit in the firmer side) and the linens were nice and fresh and didn’t have that crispy cheap hotel feel.
The morning breakfast was the standard waffle, eggs, hot /​cold cereal and muffins you would expect, but it’s complimentary so I won’t harp to much on it. I can always afford free, especially when using per diem.
So why the three stars? Well it’s situated right by the highway and if staying on that side of the building you can hear the highway noise. The selection of eats (after 9 pm) is Logan’s steakhouse, but Unilocal suggests other places a decent ways away. I stayed on the third floor and there was no ice machine on my floor and didn’t feel like wandering the hotel looking for ice. Also, I had requested a 645 am wakeup call as I was In a different time zone and never got that call. So my three stars is mostly for noise, no ice and no wake up call. Other than my own knit pickiness, it’s a decent hotel for the price. I’d stay here again.
