Rooms are new, lobby and breakfast area are large, clean and well appointed. AC was a little noisy at night in room 403, but shower and hot water are great. Well located, near restaurants, main street and close to the U of SC (not walking distance).Highly recommend this Fairfield property.

Location for us was very important. We were literally 9mn away from our son in Columbia SC. Our stay was exceptional staff friendly & accommodating. Property secure & well kept. I rarely take advantage of hotel breakfast but did so at Fairfield and was impressed. Great Job to everyone on this property's staff.

Breakfast was awesome, did not like the shower curtain it was not clean, staff were very nice and happy to see us. Loved the wood work on the wall by elevators. Ice machine was on different floor, would have been better to have it on same floor. Areas to sit were clean and the hall ways were clean. Yes I would stay there again.
