Best Hotels near Fairfield University, Fairfield

I recently started a new job at a brand new company and was tasked with assisting with a training seminar being held at our headquarters in Shelton. I worked with John Snider over at the Hilton in Shelton to reserve rooms for our guests as well as reserve their conference room. He made the process very easy and he was very flexible. The travel arrangements as far as who was coming what days and how many days was quite complicated as our training seminar was divided in two groups. John did not hesitate whenever I needed anything. He was very responsive. The staff was kind to all of our guests and the rooms were spectacularly clean. The conference room looked very professional for our meeting and I could not be happier with the way everything turned out. Many thanks to John Snider and the entire Hilton team in Shelton for making my very first training seminar a very successful one!

There is a parking lot. On the highway side, it is convenient to get in and out of the highway. The breakfast is quite satisfactory. There is free coffee and tea in the lobby for 24 hours. The room is very good. There is a sofa bed.

Stayed in this hotel for one night when traveling through the area. The location is excellent. Close to Norwalk and anything you need in the area. In addition close access to NYC and the rest of CT. The stay was on point for what is expected from a Courtyard. Room was clean and staff was very helpful both at check in and out. The only issues were the pillows weren’t the most comfortable and the room temperature controls seemed to have a sleep mode that kicked in at some point and caused the room temperature to warm more than we like. This may have been room specific and didn’t cause a major issue with our stay. Overall we will absolutely stay here again. We definitely recommend this hotel.

Always great to stay in Residence Inn!

Tive muitos problemas para conseguir dormir na única noite que permaneci no hotel no terceiro andar e no final do corredor (06/11/2021). Logo no check-in e apesar de ter pago o hotel com antecedência, tive de depositar por volta US$ 70,00 para segurança do hotel. Isso é muito complicado para quem tem cartão de crédito internacional, e não foi avisado no momento da reserva. O aquecedor fazia um barulho impossível e apesar da noite fria, tivemos de desligar para reduzir os sons. Daí percebemos o ruído no banheiro. A descarga disparava de quando em quando. O som era abafado, por isso demoramos para entender que o problema estava no banheiro da unidade e não na coluna. Em não conseguindo apoio dos funcionários do hotel, ligamos para um amigo que conhecia de hidráulica, e por volta de 1:30 am conseguimos desligar a água (ficamos sem descarga automática. Ainda restou o chuveiro pingando....Bem, conseguimos dormir por volta das 2:30 am. Fizemos as reclamações no check-in, às 11:00 am no dia 07/11/2021. Fomos informados que a gerência entraria em contato no dia 08/11/2021. Isso ainda não aconteceu (hoje é 16/11/2021). Para piorar, eu esqueci um vestido de festa no quarto (longo, branco e com desenhos em preto). Logo que cheguei em casa e desarrumei a mala, no dia 07/11/2021, percebi a ausência do vestido e enviei um e-mail para hotel avisando sobre o fato e informando que eu iria buscar no dia seguinte. Qual não foi a minha tristeza: além de não responderem o e-mail, o vestido NÃO foi encontrado. O funcionário se desculpou e só. Fizemos um depósito para proteger o hotel e não fomos ao menos cuidadosamente atendidos. Viajo muito e jamais passei por isso no Brasil, na Europa ou mesmo em hotéis menos pontuados aqui nos EUA. Aguardando contato dos representantes do EVEN HOTEL NORWALK até hoje.

Low cost luxury! Highly recommended!

We stayed in two rooms and were very disappointed at this hotel. We have stayed at many Courtyard/ Marriott properties and this one was one of, if not the poorest maintained. The reservation was made a month ahead of our stay and because of all the graduations (reason for our trip) the hotel charged exorbitant prices for poor facilities. They also had no compassion for our plight as we had to change our booked hotel because two months after making our reservation they went pet-friendly (all Hiltons) and I have severe allergies. The front desk person was very friendly and efficient-appreciated after a long day. The issue started with a minor annoyance- no floor readout in the elevator and progressed to filthy carpets and banged up walls and renovation equipment in the hall . The halls and elevators were also extremely HOT. Our rooms were not any better- nasty stains all over the carpet and sofa, mold and a missing tile in the bathroom. The grab rail in the shower was loose and the toilet was so low that a child would best fit it. No water pressure in the shower. The A/C was also extremely loud. I realize that many of these items will be taken care of during the renovation, however to charge $350/night for a room in this condition is criminal. To top it off, unlike most hotels in this and other chains, there was no included breakfast or courtesy bottled water for rewards members. Also, in the morning all the elevators were being used by the construction and cleaning people so we had to use the stairs to go out to get food. Word of warning if you are still considering staying here in the near future… the construction is a couple rooms at a time on a guest floor and they not only hog the elevator at check out time but noise starts at 9am so don’t think of sleeping in. Why aren’t they doing a floor at a time so they could leave their equipment out of the way and free up the elevators.

I chose this hotel based on its online photos, indoor pool with water slide and decent reviews. We were a large group all attending a wedding nearby. And the rest of the group all booked at this hotel after we did. Huge mistake. First, we planned to spend the day of the wedding by the pool with the kids until I read here that you have to book a ONE hour time slot. Not only that, but when I called the hotel to confirm I was told you can’t book ahead, or even at check in. Booking doesn’t open until 7AM the morning you want to use the pool. So if you want to guarantee a big group gets in at the same time you have to set your alarm for 7AM, and wake your whole room calling down to the front desk. I tried speaking to a manager beforehand, but only got the run around. When we checked in Friday night around 8pm, we called down for a pack n play and were told they were all out! Apparently they have THREE cribs for over 100 rooms. Front desk told us it’s a common problem at the hotel and we should have checked in earlier as they’re first come/first serve. They were ZERO help as to where our baby was supposed to sleep that night, and acted like it was our fault for having to work and then drive into town that night. If this is a common problem, why wouldn’t they just buy a few more cribs? They could have Instacarted one that night. We had to go buy a crib! When we moved the chair to fit the pack n play we bought we found dirty, open food wrappers with food still in them! My toddler has food allergies so this wasn’t just gross, but also dangerous for him. When we ran out of shampoo/conditioner before the wedding we called down to housekeeping, no response, so I went down to the front desk. The receptionist literally told me I’d have to “stalk the housekeeper” to get some, because she didn’t have any. Luckily, a manager stepped in and did say she’d send some up. But that was the basic attitude all weekend, the guests problems are not their problems (even though they were hotel related). There was also a domestic incident at the hotel that night that involved screaming, yelling, dog barking, and required a police response. This, of course, wasn’t the hotel’s fault. Overall, though, look elsewhere and save yourselves the hassle. ESPECIALLY if you have a baby.
