Fairfield provides a basic, generally clean room. I use them quite often. Would stay here again. Free parking on-site is a real plus since it was about $200 for a 14-hour stay.

I will mention that the sink faucet in the bathroom was challenging to use, which surprised us because the bathtub faucet worked great. The gentleman who checked us in @ 8PM was lovely. I asked about linking this stay to our Bonvoy account and he was able to help us with that.
