The room was clean and roomy for our family of 5. I'd definitely recommend it to friends & would stay again in a heartbeat. The pull out sofa was quite adequate, and the beds were fine. Larger than average bathroom made it easy to share and spread out a little for our one night stay on the way to Nebraska. We arrived very late, so we called ahead to make sure our room would be held .. and it was, as promised. The night clerk was courteous and efficient .. it was 1 a.m., after all!

Breakfast the next morning was good, with options of freshly made waffles, pastries, cereal, juices, yogurt, whole fruit, bagels, etc. Big area for breakfast was clean and tidy. Hotel is in excellent shape and is up-to-date in its furnishings and style .... no complaints at all. Room, hallways, and hotel smelled fresh and clean .. no musty odors. The hotel is right by the minor league ballpark, and is near restaurants and a large Menards, a hardware chain/superstore.

We drive through Illinios a few times a year to visit family, and never can seem to get a decent hotel by just walking in, so this time we made a reservation. This hotel was clean, with a great bed and fair enough free continental breakfast in the morning. I found it a bit pricey for a quick night's sleep, but they do have a pool and a hot tub, as well as a fitness center which we just didn't have the time to use. I would stay here again. The desk staff could be a bit friendlier, though.

First impression:

At the reception desk she was putting out a fire....not litereally...
there had been a screwup with the couple ahead of me...something about rewards I thought I was gonna be there awhile. Then she said something about were giving you a suite.. they walked away smiling...she welcomed me aksed me for my credit card..the phone rang ...while explaining to her superior how she gave the couple the suite she was simultaneously punching stuff into the computer keyboard...oh, oh another interruption...but no...quickly she slid my plastic key across the counter.as she ended her phone conversation...told me how to find my room all the time with a large smile on her face. All this in less than 5 minutes from the time I walked into the lobby of the Fairlfield Inn, Marion.

It isn't everyday I get so see proficiency and professionalism (not to mention warm hospitality) in multitasking.

I have a hard enough time patting my head and blinking my eyes at the same time.

I had en enjoyable 2 night stay at this rather new facility.
My room was very nice...had a good nights sleep.. Didn't hear any of the guests even though the place was crawling with kids that weekend and my room was right next to the elevator.
The complimentary breakfast was adequate, fruit, breads, bagels, juices, waffles, tea, coffee hard boiled eggs., microwave breakfast sandwiches, pastries...probably left something out.

The indoor pool and hot tub looked inviting.
There was a soccer tournament in town and the families were having a good time splashing around.

The Fairfield Inn has a convenient location near restaurants, shopping and the freeway.

If you are a baseball fan..the brand new Southern Illinois Miners ballpark is a stones throw ..or ...should I say ...a 95 mph fastball away.

Couldn't find anything I didn't like about the Fairfild Inn

I'm not even sure where to start. Great Staff, One of the cleanest rooms I've ever encountered. Every Amenity that you would ever want and a Great Breakfast in the morning. This hotel is also close to a minor league ball park that was just built and many restaurants including an Applebee's and a Steak N Shake. I wouldn't stay anywhere
else in the area.
