Fairfield Inn & Suites Augusta

Well, this was definitely a new hotel layout for me.
Arrived into Augusta late at night. Checking in was a quick and easy process. When I swiped my key card into my hotel room on the first floor, there was a long narrow hallway (about 20 feet). Towards the end of the hallway is the restroom before you enter the room. I found it odd and a little creepy that all the drawers & closet was left open. I couldn’t close the bottom of one of the two-​drawer since the chair was forcefully cramped into a little corner.
The ladies at breakfast were very friendly. Breakfast itself was meh. The hot foods section (eggs, sausage, ham) tasted like it had just been thawed and microwaved. Great selection of teas, variety of pastries and yogurts, etc.
Free parking in the private lot.

Clean. Plastic. Professional. FI is a decent hotel. Staff super friendly and professional. Rooms clean. And as others said, the huge fireplace adds great ambiance to the common area.
The problem is all that ambiance and effort goes out the window when eating breakfast on paper plates and plastic spoons. Eggs soggy. Food prepackaged. Considering breakfast is often the last thing customers leave with, why not ensure a departure experience that matches the rest of your hotel? It is quite clear much thought and effort goes into every other detail here, which is the only reason it comes up as a concern. You stay at a Comfort Inn, your expectations match your experience: «Kids, I have to break it to you… you’re eating generic Lucky Charms with plastic sporks today. Try not to choke on the plastic shrapnel, OK?»
Here: «Kids you just slept in a clean room with professional staff, clean pool, fitness room, and cozy fireplace… Now let’s dig into those soggy eggs and raisin bran!»
Surely every decision like this is a corporate cost center, but even simply upgrading to forks that don’t snap and plates that don’t collapse would be a change in the right direction.

This would be 5 stars had someone not been cleaning the parking lot with a leaf blower at 6:30 am. Really??? Rooms were clean and nice and fresh.

Beautifully renovated throughout. Very colorful & not standard cheesy mid-​range hotel décor.
Staff was nice
Fireplace in lobby
Free hot breakfast
Pool
Across from restaurants & shopping.
Minus one star: bed was kinda mushy. Not the best for me but ok.

Yeah, there is a Marriott property in Augusta, and it is fairly new/​modern and easy freeway access and plenty of free parking. The room I stayed was a typical/​standard room with a king bed, and standard tub/​shower bath. Room comes equipped with a small fridge, iron/​ironing board, 40ish inch flatscreen TV. Breakfast is the typical Fairfield fare (cereal, bagels, juices, coffee/​tea, and milk), and some fruit.
If in the area, I would stay again.

Enjoyed our stay. Clean, good breakfast and wifi. Nice to have a hot tub and lots of new fitness equipment too.
A welcome break after a long drive with kids.

The price was alright, nice rooms, excellent customer service. The work out room though was so filled with chemicals from the pool room I almost passed out. all in all a great place to stay

Plus:
Wireless Internet which works great.
Got upgraded to a suite. Thanks.
The pool is indoors. When it cold outside come to the Fairfield to take a dip.
The staff is extremly helpful. Very customer friendly. GM is amoung the best.
Restaurants are near by.
Brand new hotel.
Minus:
They could have designed the parking to loop around both sides of the hotel.
