Fairfield Inn & Suites

I don’t recommend this hotel. I had a bad experience here. I asked for a room on the north side of the hotel, and they couldn’t give me one. The south side of the hotel borders two very noises streets/​freeways. My next question to the hotel check-​in person was if someone could help push a roller cart with luggage to my room (I am injured and couldn’t do it), and I was denied help. They had no one available to help me. Once I got to the room, I was unsurprised to hear the engine brakes of trucks and load busy road noise. Thankfully they supplied me with one pair of ear plugs, but only one set for 2 people. As I settled in, I noticed the room smelled of mildew, had stains on the walls, and I was so nervous about the condition of the hotel, that I checked my mattress for bed bugs. Thankfully, there were none. Within 10 minutes of being in the hotel, I called my booking website agency and cancelled the remaining stay and moved to a new, quieter, cleaner hotel.

Clean basic hotel which gets the job done. However the hotel is located right by the freeway and the rooms on the highway side are horribly noisy! We got one of those rooms and the front desk clerk said unfortunately only rooms on the highway side are available when I asked if we could be switched. Not staying here ever again.

Nice place, clean and friendly staff but hard to find the entrance to the parking lot. A bit of noise as it is next to the freeway but heavy curtains help. It is off the beaten track so you need a car to get anywhere. A Subway, pizza joint and convenience store within walking distance but not much else. Nice, big, clean modern rooms. Price was med-​range, got what you paid for but not a bargain.

My main concern with this place is the bait and switch pricing. I reserved a room at one price. I received my confirmation email confirming my reservation and my rate. When I arrived, they said that the online system sold me a room that «does not exist». They offered me a different room at a higher price. When I protested they said that they could cancel the reservation if I didn’t want to pay the higher price. Eventually they took 5 dollars off the price when I complained.
It’s a shame they engage in such deceptive pricing practices. If your system made an error, then you should fix it and honor the agreed upon rate. Or at least call me and let me know there was an error before I show up.
Otherwise the hotel is perfectly adequate. Staff were all friendly. Walls are somewhat thin and traffic is a bit loud. But it was clean and comfy, with a free breakfast.

Great stay! I would recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to stay in Portland or surrounding area. Very clean and inviting. The free continental breakfast was well above average! It was outstanding! The food was fresh and well stocked with a variety of breakfast items to pick from. The staff that managed the breakfast area provided outstanding service. Very helpful and on top of keeping the area clean and restocked.
Front desk was kind and friendly. Room was clean, however I did wish it had a microwave or frig.
Kids loved the pool area!
We will be staying here again when we come back to Portland!

Awesome stay love the free parking. Staff was helpful and courteous. Rooms were clean and quiet.

Super loud traffic noise, found a hair in the bed. Pool closed. We were super unimpressed. Checked out early.

I got a good rate by pre-​booking through my Marriott rewards membership. Overall it was a decent hotel room. It was easy to find from the freeway, free parking and came with free breakfast. The room was clean.
As some other people noted, its right next to a busy freeway and my room happened to face the common parking lot for another hotel and some apartments nearby. Its rather noisy, but I always sleep with earplugs so it was no problem. Overall, just OK.

I can’t ever remember staying in a hotel with double beds! Totally NOT COOL! The beds were also really, and I mean REALLY TOO «soft» as in opposite of firm. The kinda bed that when you sit down on it swallows you up! And the road noise on the South side of the building was really bad! Two crappy nights sleep! Thanks Fairfield Inn… NOT!!!

There is nothing spectacular about this hotel per se. They offer a mediocre free continental breakfast. The rooms are clean and they do provide free Wi-​Fi. It is in a safe area. There is a subway and a pizza place within walking distance. The front staff is nice. I was a little disappointed in the dated-​ness of the rooms. It is a nice place to stay and it will keep you dry and safe, it just will not blow you away with awesomeness.

Alright, where should I start… Came here with my husband having high expectations; that’s not what occurred. Although it is clean-​ish, it still has a sense of grime that can’t be shaken. The lack of restaurants, cabs, is a tell tale sign of the impending doom that is about to be your stay here. Expect subpar lodging. The lady at the front was nice. Don’t waste your money.

It’s nice, comfy beds. A little over priced for a Marriott. (I’ve gotten better rooms for the same price as this little one) But it’s clean and the staff seems to be very nice.
Complementary breakfast:)

Pros: clean
Free parking
Free breakfast
Fridge in the rooms.
Cons:
Not in the best part of town
Incredibly noisy! Even as platinum elite members we had a room facing the roads/​freeway. You can hear EVERY car and truck that goes by. And they know it because they have homedic sleep sound machines in the rooms and offer free ear plugs.
The walls are thin, you can hear everything in the next room.
When did the Fairfield brand stop giving you lotion? One bar of soap, shampoo, conditioner, nothing else.

Very pleased with this hotel. The desk clerk was very kind. It must be a very new hotel, because the room is very clean. The beds are VERY comfortable. Now, the couple of downsides, is it right off I-​5, which is convenient, but NOISY, and you definitely hear the noise outside. They do provide a cool noise machine with different soothing sounds to help drown out the other noises. I’ve never seen that before in a hotel. The other bad thing about it is, it is IMPOSSIBLE to find the entrance the first time. Ignore your GPS, it will lead you the wrong way. You have to stay straight and not turn left when you see the hotel. Then take the first left (you’ll see the Subway) you’ll go through a maze of Apartment complexes, look for the Courtyard by Marriott and the Residence Inn, and turn into their parking lot, and then you’ll see the Fairfield Inn entrance toward the back.

Stayed one night and I liked it here. Front desk staff is nice, and the rooms are clean and updated. I read some reviews about the highway noise being a bit loud, but I honestly never noticed that during my stay (and my room faced the highway). Maybe it’s because I’m a deep sleeper.
The rooms receive a white noise device to drown out the sounds from the roads if you need it (see photo), but I never turned it on.
Location feels a little isolated, with a complex of other Marriott hotels in short walking distance. It would be the perfect setting for a Stephen King novel.
The local Marriott Courtyard just across the road seems to be the «go to» spot for food. While over there, I recognized one of the front staff from the Fairfield Inn walking into the dining room to pick up dinner.
This hotel is also located right next to a highway bridge where several drifters had set up camp. Lots of blankets, shopping carts, and white plastic bags. They never came over to cause any problems but I mention it here just to paint a complete picture. I’d say there were maybe five people living in the grass next to the hotel.
Convenience store located just a quarter mile away which packs everything you need.
Not a bad place and I’d visit again.
[tip: get the burger at nearby Courtyard]

yes please. what $ 79.00 for this room outstanding deal. i will quit shouting now… clean modern and comfy beds… i’m a fan

I have stayed frequently at all three properties here (Courtyard, Fairfield, Residence Inn) in the Portland area. The Fairfield is by far the best. The hotel is newly updated, is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The staff are genuinely happy to see you and Shannon will remember you by name and treat you like a celebrity. The breakfast is perfect, and the internet reliable. This hotel will leave you feeling rested and relaxed and you will have some money to spend when you leave.

The only issue of note here is the entrance. There is not an easy way to get in and out. You have to wind down a narrow dead end road and cut through another parking lot to get to the hotel. It is not a deal breaker. It is more of an annoyance.
The hotel has a relatively new lobby. The staff is friendly. The exercise room could use a boost, but you can find a way to get the job done for cardio. The breakfast is good as far as Fairfield’s go. There are some warm options.
The rooms are OK. Averaged size and features.
The location is good. It is close enough to the airport and downtown. The cost is about average.

Nice location right near the border between Washington and Oregon, so make sure you do all your shopping on the Oregon side. Just a short drive to Portland, and very close to the PDX airport.
Hotel was clean, and looks relatively new. Staff was friendly and warm. They said the wifi was complicated, but it’s really not. Breakfast in the morning was slightly better than what I expected. Plenty of parking available in the lot.
Not many business travelers here, mostly families with kids from what I saw.

I was a little worried this location was too far north of town, but there was a great connection to the light rail right by the hotel. Yes, it’s next to the highway. Fairfield Inn provided sound machines in each room to cover any outside noises. The free continental breakfast was above average and the staff exceeded expectations. About 15 minutes into my stay, they called my room to make sure I was satisfied. The lids on the to go coffee were the best of any hotel we visited on our trip. They were that good. Seriously.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Portland. Great price and great location!
