Fairfield Inn & Suites

Had a weekend getaway at the beach and chose this hotel because it was in my price range and reviews were decent. The room itself was a bit small but it worked plus we just needed a place to shower and sleep. Customer service and breakfast were great! Can’t go wrong with eggs sausage pancakes and all other usual hotel breakfast goodies. The only thing I can complain about is a small area in my room smelled like throw up! I think it needed to be shampooed and instead was just wiped down I didn’t want to deal with switching all my stuff over so I didn’t complain to the office by I’m sure they would have resolved it. Instead j just avoided the area… I would stay again

I was excited to stay here as I have stayed at some Marriott places before. for the price I would say this is not a good choice. Things are dated and they don’t have enough staff. I would never stay there again with all the other options there.

This is the worst hotel stay in my entire life!
You can hear every door slam shut and open down the hallway, it’s ridiculous! I checked in about 4pm and tried to take a quick nap but OMFG the whole room shakes when someone closes a door and it did not stop until 11pm. Of course people get up early to go to work, well the slamming of the doors started at 430am, are you fffkkkggg kidding me! Whoever designed this hotel should be stoned to death!
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

We had a brief stay here on my very first visit to Wilmington. The hotel was clean and inviting. Our check in was a bit old. We were given our room keys, but wasn’t given our room number. We also had an issue with our room, we were given a wheel chair friendly room. But it wasn’t friendly for us because we could not lock in the shower head at a normal level. Which means we had to shower while holding the shower head in one hand. You can only imagine. I mentioned this to the front desk person the next morning telling them we would like a different room. The hotel manager overheard and stepped over to apologized. I thought that was nice of him.
Later, when we got keys to our new room, we had been given a roomy suite, which was not necessary but appreciated. Another plus, breakfast was included. Food choice were nice and includes treats like biscuits and gravy. Would definitely stay here again.

This hotel was a nice birthday getaway for me and my lady. The area is right off a major street which we thought would be pretty noisy but it was actually fairly quiet, so they must have good wall insulation.
Pricing was decent for being near a popular location. We hit the beach the morning after our stay and checkout was a breeze.
Interacting with the staff was fun and entertaining. They were extremely polite and highly sociable, which we enjoyed. If you’re in Wilmington and want to avoid paying the expensive prices the hotels downtown offer, I recommend this hotel as a quality alternative.

I’ve probably spent 30 nights here over the last 2 years. It can be a busy hotel & it can be filled with bus loads of tourists. The hotel is in a pretty great location if your not doing the downtown or Carolina Beach thing.
Honestly, it’s the great staff. They know my name, if you do the mobile check in thing you can plan to spend less than a minute checking in. The bfast is okay and coffee is good. The workout room and pool are standard Fairfield, there is always parking, & it’s quite clean.
Beds are comfy, suites are worth the money, AC works and isn’t so freakin loud.

This place is awesome; especially if you have kids, that makes it even more awesome. Located just a few minutes drive from the beach or downtown, it’s half the price of on-​the-​beach hotels. This place is always very clean, & the front desk is very helpful. The best part about it is the late checkout (12 noon)! You can request early check-​in if you like & they will really do their best to accommodate you. For the kids, there is a heated indoor pool… so if the weather is bad & you don’t feel like driving around to find something to do indoors, you don’t have to go anywhere! They serve a FULL breakfast daily from 0630 – 0930. Scrambled eggs, pastries, toast, pancakes, sausage, bacon, cereal, yogurt, juices… etc! It’s great. Get up, go eat a big full free breakfast (save TONS OF $$$ if you have a big family), then go back upstairs & get ready for your day because you are 10 minutes from everywhere. My husband & I have 3 kids & this is the only place that we ever stay (unless they are booked, which does happen on occasion). It’s a great hotel. Staff is super friendly.

We are die hard Marriott fans. This is new, great location, convenient to all of Wilmington. Breakfast was great, rooms are a nice size. BUT the hallway on our floor reeked of body odor all 3 days we were here. I had a scratch on my hand that bled on the pillowcase while I was sleeping, the next day the sheets had not been changed. The thermostat kept the room at one of two temps, freezing and sweltering. We should have stayed at the Towne Place next door.

I was in town for a half marathon and checked in the day before the race.
When I asked at check in about the breakfast time and found it was going to start after I already had to be in the starting corral, the person at the front desk was proactive in asking the manager if I could get a yogurt and plain oatmeal packet early the next morning. The manager commented that a number of runners were staying there and that they’d open the food up at 5a for us. Nothing hot – which is AOK – but that was just fantastic and each of us down at that time noted how much we appreciated that gesture!
My room was clean and neat, though some of the furniture was quite worn. The bedding was comfortable and I got a great night of sleep! Bathroom was fairly standard, but the closet was great as it was accessible from both the bathroom and the ‘front hall’ area. Kitchen area was small but well planned and I love a full size fridge vs. a mini!
Hotel was very crowded, it did not seem there was an open room in the entire place, but the downstairs common areas were kept very clean, coffee and tea were kept up and parking was more than sufficient.
The woman behind the front desk (name escapes me) was so pleasant at check in and the following day at checkout I had an equally lovely experience with that team member as well.
Very pleased and would absolutely stay there again if my travels ever take me back to Wilmington!

I’ve stayed at a lot of Fairfield Inns before but this was by far the nicest one. Situated a little bit away from the downtown area of Wilmington it still has plenty of places that are walkable to for dining.
Arrived a bit early but they had no problem checking in. We had a King bed that as far as hotels go had one of the best mattresses I’ve ever slept on. Seriously, it’s way better than my home one that I painstakingly chose. Super nice staff all around (maybe it’s a Southern thing, but every person in general wishes you a good day. I’m too used to New York for all that). Room was absolutely immaculate and pretty spacious.
Small pool and gym available and the day room was quite cozy with a fireplace and overstuffed couches and TV’s. Breakfast was included and it was no paltry continental, it was a full breakfast with lots of options. Would definitely stay here if I am ever in Wilmington again.

Cleanliness is the most important thing to me in a hotel-​and this was clean! No complaints at all. The room was quiet, the complimentary breakfast was decent, and the location was convenient.

Stayed last night at this Fairfield inn. Great staff who were incredibly helpful and friendly. Basic hotel only 3 miles from Wrightsville Beach and just a few miles from the riverfront, which was perfect for me. It is located on busy street, making it a drive and park versus walkable area. Bring earplugs or a sound machine if you’re a light sleeper. The doors are heavy so you’ll hear guests who enter and exit rooms around you– all night. Still a 4 star.

Basic hotel, great service, easy access to non-​downtown businesses.

We stayed here for one night recently and it was such a carefree check-​in and stay. We got into town earlier and was able to check in to our room 3 hours early, without the least bit of hassle. The front desk staff were all congenial and helpful. The rooms were decent sized and the AC worked efficiently. The kids loved the indoor pool and the continental breakfast. I must say having scrambled eggs and freshly cooked bacon was a big surprise for me on a hotel breakfast bar, so that impressed me. We paid $ 83 for a Thursday night stay and it was worth it!

We were looking for a hotel near wrightsville beach and all if the ones out bear the beach were over $ 250.00. I turned to Unilocal for help and found this hotel had good ratings. I was able to get a good deal the day before on Priceline and scored my room for $ 99.00. To be honest I thought it would be nice but it was great. The beds were very comfortable and the whole hotel was clean and had modern décor. The breakfast was good and very filling. I would gladly stay here again and save all that money for my trip.

I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. This was a very very great hotel. I just went for a short trip to Wilmington and would definitely stay again! We were very impressed. The staff was polite, helpful and showed they cared about us. Our room was extremely clean as well as the whole hotel. The breakfast was great, and there were many accommodations. The location is basically ideal, it’s about halfway between downtown Wilmington and Wrightsville beach which was perfect for us. We experienced no problems, and we will stay here again in the future.

We stayed at the Fairfield Inn last weekend for a quick getaway to the beach. I was very impressed at how clean the entire hotel was. Our room was spotless, and my kids loved how bright & colorful it was. My 11 yr old even said he wants his room decorated the same way. haha! The beds were pretty comfy, with lots of pillows, which was nice. The bathroom had ample space, and everything was very clean. The hotel staff was very nice & accomodating. They were quick to make us coffee when we desperately needed it after a long day. (they provide coffee in the lobby, but the carafe was empty.) The lobby even has nice comfy chairs & couches, and 2 computers for guests to use. The complimentary breakfast was great… quite a spread for a free breakfast. We were very happy & would definitely stay there again!

Our stay was great and so was the staff. A very clean hotel. The breakfast bar was also above avg. Quick drive to the beach

We stayed here for one night before a wedding that took place in downtown. The place was clean and quiet and our room was huge! The free breakfast was a nice bonus.

We stayed at this property on a recent trip to the beach. The location is super convenient, about halfway between downtown Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach. Check-​in was a breeze, the room was spacious and clean, parking was plentiful and all was quiet! We used the indoor pool until it closed at 11pm. It’s too small for lap swimming but adequate for lounging around as was our objective. One note: the provided pool towels were awkwardly small, almost like hand towels. The bath towels in the room were normal-​sized.
We took advantage of the complimentary breakfast in the morning, which was easily one of the best breakfast spreads I’ve seen a hotel provide for free. There isn’t a single thing I would change about our visit (except maybe my sunburn)! Thanks for a perfect stay, we look forward to returning!
