Hotels Near Champaign County Library in Champaign County

Fairfield is a fair hotel with a large room with the usual fridge, microwave , coffee in the room. The furnishings were of modern style with a long desk combo dominating one side wall of the room. This left no room or surface to open suitcases on. Bathroom was cramped, poorly lit and had a single handle faucet that streamed water until pressed down firmly. Breakfast was included and was very good.

The property is old and decrepit. A poor remodeling attempt was made at some point to update rooms, but old nasty bathtubs with black mold embedded in the grout doesn’t qualify as a remodel in my opinion. Hotel management tries to mask an overpowering “musty mold” smell with perfumes throughout. Perfumes are overbearing and after a one-night stay, the smell will not clear your nostrils. Ohio Edison had a scheduled power outage to fix the power source, but the hotel failed to notify their guests. Stuck on the 6th floor for 3 hours during power outage. Venturing to an exit stair, resulted in walking down rickety steel plates to an outside door. I can’t image a property that fails to notify their guests of planed power outages. A note left in your room the day before would have been well received, but the property didn’t take the initiative. Front desk staff informed me that they posted a note at the front desk the day before. However, I did not check into the property on Saturday and had no idea a scheduled power outage was going to occur. There was no phone service during the power outage, so I was unable to contact the front desk to inquire about the power outage. I did make my way to the outside via dimly lit exit stairs. I suggest better emergency lights as multiple floors had to emergency lighting. Bistro has decent food but the restaurant staff has a tendency to talk about and judge their patrons. I am a loyal Marriott “Ambassador Status” customer, but I must warn any consumer, especially Marriott Bonyoy members, about this property. In fact, this stay will most likely result in more Hilton stays. I understand all hotel chains have their share of bad properties, but this by far the worst Marriott property I have encountered in five years. Expecting a clean, odor free and updated room is too much to ask at this property. Again, consumer beware as this property fails to uphold the “Marriott standard”.

Check-in was quick and efficient. Our room was clean - standard size room with comfortable king bed. Included 2 bedside tables, desk and chair, tv, 4 lamps, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, luggage rack, iron & board, hair dryer. Clean looking carpet in bedroom area, laminate flooring in bathroom area. Small samples of shampoo & conditioner & lotion were provided. All rooms are accessed from outside. The rooms on 2nd floor are accessed by outside stairwells. There were no available outlets for charging phones or computers. The room was supposed to be non-smoking but smelled badly of smoke.
