Fairfield Inn & Suites

Clean, updated, nice pool nothing to complain about. Had a great nights stay. Very conveniently located near restaurants and shopping. Just s few miles north of the interstate.

Wonderful place to stay. Clean, great amenities, Managers Happy Hour and great healthy breakfast. Would definitely stay here again.

Came here on work travel. I travel 65% of the year and alway stay at Marriotts and this was by far the best Fairfield I’ve ever stayed at. Very new and clean and big! Staff was extremely helpful and cheerful. I had a question about my refrigerator when I first checked in and the girl at the front desk came up herself and checked it out within just a few minutes.
If I ever come back to this area in the future for work I will absolutely stay here again.

Best Fairfield I have stayed at to date (and I do stay at Marriott properties as much as I can when I travel). Clean, efficient, just far enough off the highway to be comfortable. Well positioned near many dining options and the mall. Quiet, super comfortable — you cannot go wrong staying at this hotel.

We had the American Legion State tournament in Hastings, Nebraska which is about a 20 – 30 minute drive from Grand Island so since we have loyalty points with Marriott we decided to stay at the Fairfield in Grand Island versus the hotels in Hastings. Our room rate was approximately $ 138.00 plus taxes for a Saturday night stay. We like Marriott’s brands as they are typically nice properties (clean, friendly, comfortable, safe and up to date). This hotel was no different in my opinion as what we had experienced in the past which is a very nice hotel. Early Sunday morning on July 26^th the fire alarms went off and the electricity went out. I responded to the fire alarm by going down stairs and exiting the hotel. No one from their staff was directing the customers on to where to go, or to explain what was happening or to ensure we were OK. Furthermore, there were still families upstairs as I could see them looking out the hotel room windows watching the people who had evacuated. Finally, people started to go back up stairs. About 40 minutes or so later the power came back on and all was good. When we turned in our card keys the front desk representative asked if I had a good stay but never even acknowledged the fire alarm issue. While I am glad their fire alarms work and would rather be safe than sorry I was disappointed in their lack of presence when the fire alarm went off. No one giving directions, no one ensuring people were evacuating and no one available to tell us what was happening or if it was OK to return to our rooms. I am very loyal to Marriott and will continue to be and if the alarms did not go off it would have been a great stay. However the lack of customer service during a fire alarm was concerning and lowered my score considerably for this stay at this location only. I did get a follow-​up e-​mail on July 29^th from Fairfield Management in Grand Island indicating the power shut-​off was due to a squirrel. Poor thing. They also apologized which I appreciate. But they need to address their procedures when fire alarms go off and how to communicate and direct their guests. Just my opinion.

I’ve literally stayed at Fairfield Inns across the country, and this one is best. Their Manager’s Reception is quite the treat.
From 5:30−7PM, Monday through Thursday I think, complimentary soda, beer and wine are served. They also have a nice spread of snacks that include; chips and salsa, cheese and crackers, nuts, and vegetables. My options were Miller Lite or Coors Lite. Not super-​fancy beers, but it was really nice. There was an attendant that kept going around filling cups with beer. Pretty sure that was the first time I’ve gotten free refills on beer.
There is a Buffalo Wild Wings in the same parking lot. So dinner is easy to get to if you are sick of driving. It’s just about a 500-​foot walk to B-​dubs. I wonder if they could work out a deal with them to have hotel guests get 10% off? That’s probably just pushing my luck, though.
The breakfast was fine. Completely in line with other Fairfield Inns (which I think have actually top-​notch hotel breakfasts). My room was also quite large, and had a larger-​than-​normal TV, microwave and refrigerator. The premises were also very well kept up.
I happened to be speaking with the manager when I checked out and she told me that that particular Fairfield Inn had just achieved Diamond Status, which I guess means that it is ranked within the top 5% of properties. She also said that they are in the running for the #1 overall spot. I have no doubt of that. My stay was very nice.
The Grand Island Fairfield Inn holds itself above it’s competition. I wholly plan on staying here again when I come through in July… I wonder if they are taking reservations now…

This place is a nice hotel with a decent hot breakfast and a good evening reception. The rooms are clean, modern, and have mini fridges and microwaves.
However, their front desk and reservation staff made a room rate mistake with our party which they wouldn’t own up to and would not fix. Thus, I left with a bad impression of this hotel. If you call to make a reservation, make sure that when you check in, the front desk shows you the room rate to confirm it’s the right rate. The front desk never wrote down nor told us the rate during check in. It was only until we got the bill under our door on our final morning did I realized they gave us the wrong rate. After a discussion with the manager who pretty much said her hands were tied and wouldn’t fix the rate, there wasn’t much we could do but lodge complaints with the Marriott customer service number.
The reason I’m giving at least two stars is because of the evening reception service. There is a woman there who serves drinks to you and just kept filling up my cup with beer. She pretty much stated that you needed to hide the cup from her to stop her from refilling it. Needless to say it took me a while to hide my cup.
So Bottomline, jeers to the front desk and cheers to the Beer lady. May forever shall you pour your precious brew.

I had a very good experience at the Fairfield in Grand Island. My room was extremely large so had plenty of room to get comfortable. The bathroom was also nice and spacious. Made staying out of town a little more bearable. The staff at the hotel were also very nice and helpful. I would recommend this hotel if looking for a place to stay in GI.

This a a great hotel. On a long 1800 mile drive eastbound arrived at Grand Island around 10:30p in the evening. Used Unilocal to search for a lodging option and found this fantastic place.
Check in staff was friendly, efficient and helpful. Got a very clean, spacious and comfortable room. Great complimentary wifi, I experienced speeds in the 4 to 5Mbps range. Finally, in the morning a fantastic spread was put out for breakfast: Eggs, pancakes, waffles, fruit, oatmeal, juice, coffee and everything was of good quality.

Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay here after being on the road all day. It was very clean and quite which was perfect for sleeping little ones. The pool and closed outside patio was a nice retreat after being in a car all day. The full hot breakfast the following morning was nice; lots of options to choose from. We would definitely come back!

We stayed on a Friday night, 11÷8÷2013. We are from a large city in Nebraska. I travel almost 100% for work and stay in a lot of chains, and patronize a lot of hotels at this level across the country.
The staff at check in Friday night and all day Saturday were amazing. If professional, courteous, articulate, engaged, helpful, and trained staff are valuable to you, look no further. 5 stars.
The breakfast Saturday morning was a 3-​star affair. There was endless variety but the options are laid out along a single, very long, perhaps 60′ of countertop. Guests were stumbling around and through each other trying to ‘shop’ all the options. A galley layout is the way to go. Quality was average. I would have expected more coming from a hotel at this price point, but honestly, I see more and more of this at chains. Everything was hot & ‘fresh’ but flavorless. I guess that’s was passes for ‘progress’ in hotel food service. More and more, I go for the fresh fruit, yogurt and oatmeal. Those are always consistent.
The facility seems new and is in great shape The rooms were great. There are nice touches, like free DVD movies and popcorn at the front desk. Rooms are 5 Stars.
Bottom line, I would stay here again but would price shop the Holiday Inn next door, which is also very good and new-​er. We have stayed there and was a 4-​star experience.

A well appointed room and hotel. Super tasteful room décor and very comfortable. Very friendly and attentive Front Desk staff made us feel very welcome.

This is a great place to spend a night if you’re in Grand Island. Comfortable beds, clean rooms, rooms that sleep 5 – 6, good breakfast and at least when we stayed it was a newer hotel and it seemed like they were trying to keep it that way. Rest assured, if you need a hotel in Grand Island, try this place and you won’t be disappointed.

It was a welcome site after 6 hours of driving. The pool and hot tub hit the spot. We loved the room. It was clean, cozy and the beds were super high up.
I laughed as I watch my 4 year struggle to climb up
I can’t wait to go back

I had never even heard of Grand Island before but this little town is the home of the state fair. From what I could see of Grand Island (the part that is a few miles off I-​80), the town is one long string of chain stores, restaurants, and hotels of which the Fairfield Inn is one. It’s back off the highway about a block, next to an industrial area but is walking distance to many places to eat (not to mention a hospital). This location is fairly new. Why 4 stars? Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches as part of the free breakfast. Bacon and sausage — hard to decide which is better.

My family and I stayed at the suite with two queens and one sofa bed. It was very clean and, as the other review said, the flat screen tv was nice. Despite the clean room, breakfast was a bit of a disappointment. The bagel was inedible and the scrambled eggs were just blah. It was overall a good stay but the breakfast was just less than mediocre.

This is an absolutely beautiful new hotel with very comfortable beds, huge flat screen TV in the room and tastefully decorated. Not what you’d expect from staying at other Fairfields… this one is a gem!

I have to say, I’ve stayed in my fair share of hotels, especially over the past year all over the U.S. This place by far was one of the nicer random hotel stops I think I’ve ever made. The place inside is immaculate and has a serious modern theme throught, continuing into the rooms. My only gripe about this place is that after the initial excitement of entering the room after driving 700 miles, I realized that my neighbors t.v. was so loud that they’re either deaf, dead, or doing it, you know? Like, going all the way? Then I heard a baby, wonderful. Just when you think it couldn’t get any worse, I swear these two people do not know how to walk around without stomping. Come to think of it, after a few minutes of stomping I didn’t hear the baby again. But the deafening level of the tv and the stomping continued on until 1:30 am and opened for business again at 5:45. You could hear their tv from down the hall and it was the same damn infomercial all morning. I seriously wanted to karate kick someone at this point so I tried to go outside and medicate, if you know what I mean… and guess what? There’s a firefighter/​public saftey official event going on here so the place is jacked with cops. What a disaster this place was to stay at, legit. Beautiful hotel, absolute junk experience. These natzis at this yuppy joint even make you pay for wi fi, which to me is unacceptable. So if you’re on the road and want to get some well needed sleep, skip places like this because they’re bogus and stay at a cheaper, skeevy place. At least there you can assume everyone is strung out and will either black out or nod by midnight.
