Fairfield Inn & Suites

After a year of ups and downs, and a pretty long and stressful day, I decided I wanted to end 2015 with a nice long bath and to sit in a quiet room to watch the ball drop. I was surprised there was vacancy but jumped at the chance when I discovered they had some, along with a decent size tub for a nice bubble bath.
The rates were very reasonable considering it was New Years Eve. The room only ran $ 200. My most pleasant surprise was that while pre-​cleaning the tub there wasn’t an obscene amount of filth in the jets. Which means there housekeepers do their jobs when it comes to cleaning the rooms thoroughly.
Everything was comfortable with the exception of the bed. It was too soft and worn. That is the only thing I would have changed about the room. Despite being able to have a fun shower and relaxing bath, my rest was not a highlight. Fortunately I was off the next day and able to go home and have a decent sleep.
I think I may stay there again but I haven’t really made up my mind considering the comfort, or should I say discomfort, of the beds. There is also a continental breakfast downstairs with waffles and other things. Another highlight is checkout is at noon so there was no rushing the next morning while packing up heading home.
Grateful I was able to have a relaxing New Year’s celebration along with a quiet/​long bath.
Happy New Year, everyone

Adequate Lodging
To start it’s a Fairfield, Marriott’s econolodge. This particular location does a decent job of being updated and keeping clean.
Our room was very clean and all of the amenities worked. Scored the room through a Marriott corporate rate so for 40 bucks how can I complain.
Tip:
Free full breakfast every morning.
You could do a lot worse.
Thanks

My overall stay here compared to all the other Marriott hotels was ok. The room was clean but there was a significant amount of noise coming from the hallway that made it difficult to stay asleep. The TV consistently had fuzzy signal. Also there was 1 front desk person that wasn’t very helpful. Everyone else was nice.

I was here on a rewards stay and wish I could get my points back. Comfortable room except that the toilet ran all the time. Reported it to the desk, but no one came to fix it. Irritating. Then I went to the ‘business center’ and there was NO MOUSE — rendering the computer unusable. The young man at the desk said they were aware and would have to order one. Really drive down the road to Staples and get one for $ 9.
Then, at breakfast, the coffee kept running out. The attendant didn’t check it until guests would look for her and ask for coffee. Only then did she start brewing a new pot.
This could be a lovely hotel. But the staff doesn’t seem to care about customer needs. I won’t return as long as there is a room available anywhere else in the area.

I was staying in Boston and had to leave suddenly. I had stopped at several places, and it was very difficult to find a vacancy on such short notice. Not only did they have a vacancy, but they were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The rooms were clean and neat. I usually hate when hotels have all white sheets and towels because they’re usually dingy and make you feel grimy. Not here. They looked clean, and the room was comfortable. There were a lot of options for the free breakfast.
Best part? Check out wasn’t until noon! It’s hard to find hotels that let you check out that late. It was a blessing after an exhausting fiasco of a road trip.

With family over the weekend. Came back to the room and maid service never came. Turns out other relatives in 4 other rooms had the same issue. In fact, one left money on the bed which was gone, bed left undone but at least new towels. After explaining the situation the manager, he responded with ‘So what do you want from me?’ Do yourself a favor and stay away.

Housekeeping is way below average. I have complained to front desk and they were very nice, but admitted they have problems. When I checked in I discovered my bed had not had the linens changed. Again, when I complained, they were very apologetic, but come on, not changing sheets when someone checks out? In addition, the bathroom floor is filthy.
The morning breakfast is OK, but nothing special.
The pool and hotub is one bright spot.

After staying here about six months ago and, having thoroughly enjoyed it, we decided to stay once again and were not dissapointed. The staff is excellent, being always very courteous and helpful. The front desk guy spoke loudly and clearly so my grandmother could understand him; when we were sitting in the lobby someone else offered to make us fresh hot coffee; and the next morning when I was about 20 minutes past when the breakfast ends, I asked an employee who was still putting things away if the eggs and sausage were all done and he said yes but immediately offered to heat some up for me anyway, and later asked how it was as I was eating. I was surprised but very happy to find this level of service from regular staff who aren’t working for tips. We arrived late the night before and were cold, but sitting on a comfy couch in front of a gas fireplace in the cozy, recently updated lobby sure did the trick! I would definitely stay here again.

This is either a newly constructed or newly renovated Fairfield. Public areas are modern and clean. Rooms are nicely appointed. The only thing I saw that didn’t look like new was some peeling wall paper in the bathroom. Very quiet and comfortable.
Breakfast was well stocked and the attendant was working hard to keep it stocked and keep the area clean.
Jackie at the front desk was extremely helpful in allowing us to check in early and to find places to eat nearby. Very friendly staff member!
Be aware that WiFi does not work in room 134 and is extremely flaky and unreliable in public areas of the hotel (including the lobby) despite showing a strong signal.

I rarely give/​attempt very hard to NOT give ANY establishment a 1 star. This hotel doesn’t even deserve the 1 star. If Unilocal had an option to give it no star, I would’ve gone for that. My mom and I were driving through to Boston and needed to stop at Auburn for the night. We saw this hotel and decided to stay the night there because we’ve always been a loyal guest of Marriott and as a rewards member, Marriott has always been extremely friendly and gracious towards us. However, FROM THE MOMENT we stepped in here, the two front clerks gave us nothing but attitude and looked down towards us even though we were paying the same rates as other hotel guests. It started off with a misquote for the night. She said, one night would be «134.99» but right as we’re paying, she’s says, «oh sorry, it’s $ 139.99, I hope that’s ok.» When we asked if we could have a room that over looked the parking lot since ALL of my personal belongings were in the car, they immediately said they misplaced the layout of the rooms. Without a moment’s hesitance, the two front clerks rushed us out saying they HAD to help the people behind us (only there was no one behind us). When we realized the room they had placed us in was not what we asked, we tried to call front desk with no one answering. We were forced to go downstairs to try and speak with a manager. The ladies said no manager was available and when I asked if they had any surveillance on the parking lot, Karen (one of the front desk clerks) said in a snotty bitchy attitude, «you’re liable for your own things.» At this point, we, as guests, customers, and loyal Marriott stayers, did not need this sort of hostility. I mentioned that I was going to speak with corporate Marriott about this situation, and she started shouting at me about taking this matter to corporate. Needless to say, my mom and I left and stayed at a Hilton where service was unbelievably OVER the top. The manager personally saw to it that I received my student discount and got us a room overlooking our car and assuring us the peace of mind that we were looking for but did NOT get at the Marriott. IF for some/​any reason, you are ever ever in Auburn, DO NOT come to this Marriott!!! There is a much better Hilton just next door that actually TREATS their guests like humans.

One one hand, the rooms were clean, the beds comfortable, the lounge spacious, there’s a small gym, and despite its toxic smell, a large pool.
On the other hand, the staff were a bit odd. Breakfast was sparse. Oh, and there was that minor incident where I turned on the hair dryer, sparks flew, then it burst into flames. That was a real bummer.

Very clean with an extremely friendly staff. We had a short overnight stay with them but the staff made an impression! Our room was really clean and the whole hotel seems pretty new. The breakfast bar was clean and fresh along with a very friendly attendant. The bed was amazingly comfy, I think sometimes the bed comfort and Fairfield is hit or miss and this one was dead on great… felt more like a Marriott bed and less like a Fairfield inn.

My husband had to go to a Trade training course being held at this hotel/​motel in Auburn, so I decided to join him on his 2^nd night there.
The Fairfield Inn is part of the Marriott Corporation and you can see alot of the same characteristic from of the Marriott brands.
I thought this was going to be more like a Motel 6, but I was totally wrong. Nice rooms, a little small, a really comfortable king size bed, a swimming pool and free breakfast before 9AM, not just bagels & danishes, which they did have but a make your own waffle station, breakfast sandwiches, cereal, fruit, pretty good for a economy hotel.
right off the highway (Mass Pike, I-​90). So I do recommend if you are ever in need to have a place to sleep in Worcester County
