We stayed at this hotel twice in the last week and we were pleasantly surprised at how clean, modern, comfortable and quiet this hotel is. We checked in with the desk clerk (Katie) who was extremely helpful and pleasant. She wanted us to be totally pleased with our stay and even upgraded us to a suite. The room was very... More

A wonderful stopping point for tired travelers. Nice, modern, clean hotel with courtiest staff. More

We have stayed at this hotel twice recently (August 2011 and September 2011) as our son attends SIU in Carbondale. It was a very pleasant stay both times. Hotel rooms, lobby, and pool area are very clean and welcoming. The staff are friendly, professional and accommodating. Hotel location is ideal and near several restaurants. Two very good restaurants near the... More

We stayed there twice passing through on our way from MN to AL. We chose that hotel for our trip south and it was so nice that we booked it again for our trip back North.

They seem to truely care about the quality of someone's stay. Location is near Highway 57, easy to get to. Restaurants nearby. There is a pool.... More

I'm a regular business traveler and usually stay at hotels in this price category. This 5 star rating reflects how it compares to other in its class (Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn express, etc.). My room was recently updated and had a nice modern look. Nothing happened during my stay that was wrong. More

After a long trip down Highway 57 we needed a place to stop for the night. The only town that looked like it had any hotels was Marion. Thankfully, I decided to stop because the Fairfield was the perfect place for a restful night. The hotel is located conveniently off the interstate in a safe & quiet area next to... More
