I don’t write a lot of hotel reviews, but this one deserves it. I ended up here because my flight back to New Jersey got canceled due to the blizzard, so I'll be here three night total, two so far. I originally chose this Fairfield because the ratings were strong. After staying here, I get why. In 25 years of business travel, this has honestly been one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had and it’s 100% because of the people. Serena at the front desk (the Front Desk Manager) is outstanding. Professional, calm, welcoming and went out of her way to help me when I was having an internet issue. Problem solved. You can just tell she cares. Mel, the Food & Beverage Manager, is one of the sweetest, most genuine people I’ve met in hospitality. Even the housekeeping staff in normal hallway conversations have been warm and engaging. There’s something different about this team. It doesn’t feel transactional. It feels like they actually want you to have a good stay. The hotel is very clean. The breakfast area is spotless every morning. Everything runs the way it should. But what really stands out is the culture here. So rare. I even witnessed the staff engaging with what seemed to be regulars and it seemed like a family reunion when they checked in between staff and hotel guests. Being stranded because of weather isn’t ideal but this group made it a genuinely positive experience. If I’m ever in Charleston again, I won’t even look anywhere else. This is a special team, and it shows. Thank you!

Overall good experience except for me and a few other guests got yelled at for being by the pool after hours. At 11 but we should never have any employees yelling at any guests there are more diplomatic ways of going about such measures.

I stayed there for one night because my flight was canceled. The rooms are fine and the staff was nice. Since my replacement flight wasn't scheduled until the afternoon, I was looking forward to a quiet and decent breakfast after the stress of the previous day. Breakfast = disastrous I'm really not picky, but the selection was more than modest, actually poor! The scrambled eggs had the consistency of rubber, the rest was indefinable, but everything tasted terrible. Nothing fresh, there was a banana and two apples, no vegetables, ... nothing. I tried everything, but it all ended up in the trash can... It's a shame about the food, but I could hardly stomach it. And the whole thing was served on paper plates with plastic cutlery and paper cups... well, at least it matched the ambiance. Really unloving and old, but with leftovers from the people who had sat at the table before. I went straight to the airport and had breakfast there.

We were placed at this hotel after our flight was canceled. The lady at the front desk was very nice & still had a smile even after dealing with all the grumpy people from our flight. Super helpful, even got us matched up with a place to eat. The breakfast was nice also. The next day the staff was so kind while we hung out in the breakfast room working waiting for our next flight.

Although the Fairfield Inn part of the Marriott chain is not seeming to have as many amenities, what was most importan to us is that it was clean. There was an online review a week prior that was That concerning, but we have had nothing but a good stay with friendly staff, and exceptional breakfast service with James at the helm. He really should be commended for being so genuinely helpful and customer service oriented. He’s an example of someone that truly takes pride in his job. The gym had enough for a decent workout, but an exercise ball would be a nice inexpensive addition. The location is walkable to several restaurants as well as being super close to the Tanger outlets, which had a nice variety of stores for the true Charleston experience. It’s worth a drive or Uber into historic downtown.

Both myself and my Co worker got Bed bugs after we stayed here on the 1st floor. I called the hotel to report it and I was told the manager would call me back, nobody ever called me back. Me being a Platinum Elite member this is a for sure sign this Marriott location does not care about the well being, or health of their guests. I feel like they likely never took any action to address the issue, and likely more people have been affected. I used to really enjoy this location, as I have stayed there several times. I will NEVER stay there again. Until management cleans this place up, I would hope that whomever reads these reviews chooses to make the same choice to not stay here.

Excellent service and rooms, absolutely no complaints. The fitness room isn't the worst I've ever seen but dear god it needs an AC or fan or something. Also a couple DBs heavier than 45lbs would be cool. Would stay again.

I enjoyed my stay here. The hotel was immaculate from the front door to the back door. My room was cleaned to perfection and the front desk representative was friendly both at check-in and checking out. The breakfast was amazing, Mel was our cook and she was outstanding. Very patient and friendly, there was also an awesome gentleman working in the kitchen. Thank you for serving a delicious breakfast fit for King's and Queens.

Nice hotel close to the airport! Met with friendly service and smiles. Clean, modern room with standard amenities and mini fridge. Breakfast is included and I had a tasty egg, ham and cheese sandwich (better than the standard hotel breakfast!) and other continental items. There’s a small gym with one bench, some dumbbells, and three cardio machines. The business center is helpful for those who have to work while traveling. Thanks for a wonderful stay and kind service!

We were looking for an affordable place to stop on our way through Charleston and opted for Fairfield Inn due to its military discount offer. We were well beyond pleased with the outstanding service and quality of the facility. We were also pleasantly surprised that when we came down from our room to look for a place to eat dinner that the hotel offered a "happy hour" with refreshments and wine (or beer). They also shuttled us back and forth from the airport so that we could return our rental car the night before our flight, then get back to the airport in the morning. We'll be back!
