Fairfield Inn

Should be closed during renovations! Had we known what awaited us, we would have stayed at the new Holiday Inn next door. We stayed overnight while driving eastbound on I-​10. This hotel is under renovation construction, has new owners, and is not up to brand expectations for Fairfield Inns. The bed was worn out and breakfast was horrible. The juice machine was out of service and there was no juice of any kind. A terrible experience!

Its all good if you like rooms that smell weird and fire alarms that wake you up at 5 am. When you call the front desk they dont answer. Then when you go down to the lobby they tell you just break the smoke detector off the wall.

I hope the sheets were clean. The elevator and floors were not. Not a fan of dogs staying here either.
Breakfast was a disaster. Boxed eggs and something that looked like sausage.
The staff was very friendly but Marriott needs to get their act together here.

Cons: I stayed at this hotel while moving since it was located right off I-​10. I usually trust any marriott brand but this one was the worst one I’ve stayed at. The hotel is not located in the best area and if you are driving a moving truck the parking lot will be difficult to maneuver since it is so small and only has one entrance. At night the a/​c unit and dehumidifier were incredibly noisy which kept me up. Another con to this hotel especially if you arrive late at night is that there is not a lot to eat around the hotel. The worst part was that there were several hairs on the sheets, gross!
Pros: the staff was friendly and they do allow pets for $ 35 a night.
Overall, I wouldn’t stay at this again. I would recommend finding a nicer hotel in the Baton Rouge area.

Back again, and as always, a great staff. Room was very clean, but what I would like best is for the fitness center to upgrade, and get rid of the old stuff. Too crammed in there.

This was the closest hotel we could find to Baton Rouge while in town for Bayou Fest. We had an interesting experience while checking in on Friday. The girl that assisted us was super sweet, but was yelled at by a manager in front of us. It clearly shook her up. She told me that they were having an
employee appreciation dinner for their staff. I hope she was able to enjoy if after being reprimanded in front of guests.
This morning, housekeeping barged in without knocking. After realizing we had the top lock latched, she closed the door and knocked to see if we were here. Duh.
Overall, clean rooms and cold ac. might consider stating here again.

I only stayed here for a quick overnight while travelling from Florida to Texas — the hotel is conveniently located right off of I-​10. There’s not much in the area — it looked like a street with fast food joints. My room was okay, just nothing special — it was nice, but small. The bed was VERY comfy and the sheets and towels clean (that’s most important to me). The guy who checked me in was very friendly and welcoming. The air conditioner worked exceptionally well (trust me, you want that in Louisiana!).
There’s free wi-​fi and parking, as well as breakfast. The breakfast area is small — very small! If there are more than a few people in there, it is uncomfortable. Bottom line: Decent, clean place.

Nothing wrong with this place. The staff are friend, the rooms are clean, the rates are good, the wifi is free, and the breakfast is free and tasty.
We called ahead on our way driving from Austin to New Orleans and they were super friendly and quoted us a rate below what was on the website and even then, when we actually got there they gave us an even lower rate than that. The room was small, but not tiny with a comfy King-​sized bed and a clean nice bathroom. The only complaint was that it smelled a bit of smoke even though it was non-​smoking. It was very faint though, and we were too tired to complain and just slept.
The breakfast in the morning was good, if not luxurious. The only stand-​out part was that they have a Belgian waffle maker and batter so you can get your very own wafllex hot off the grill. They also had surprisingly good coffee and muffins.

We stayed here on our way to New Orleans after « Unilocaling» several other motels in the area. It had been recently renovated. Rooms were clean and well appointed. Nice gym and pool.
I told the desk clerk that I had a Marriott membership card and another couple following us that would need a room. When I asked him if I could get a discount for two rooms. He gave my card credit for two stays and charged me and the other couple the senior rate. Not much but a discount still.
This motel was clean, convenient and unremarkable. Just what you want in a motel. Everything you need and nothing you don’t.
Only complaint, the continental breakfast is carb heavy. Cereal, bagels, one waffle maker with a huge line. Skip it. You really won’t miss it.

Another stop along my road trip from FL to CA.
First off, the staff were polite and very nice from the moment I called to make a reservation all the way to my checkout date. Fairfield Inn’s all have pretty much the same standard layout and amenities. This one was definitely up to par… clean, the right amount of busy to feel comfortable, and quiet.
Some things that I found around my room was a full ironing board, hair dryer, 32″ flat screen TV, and even a full length mirror. I may seem like a caveman being so enthusiastic about the above items, but when you have been driving westward from South Florida, not many of the hotels along the way to California were as nice for the price. The premises also had a heated indoor pool, a small 24hr fitness center, and complementary breakfast. The breakfast area isn’t some wack breakfast. It has a waffle maker, yogurt, muffins, orange juice machine, etc. I definitely got my morning grub on to help fuel that daunting 10hr driving that I was about to take.
Another HUGE thing to note was that their wifi internet was FAST! The same could not be said about any of the hotels I stayed at along my way. Its nice to get 5 bars on the wireless signal and have internet content load up on the spot.
If I was to ever be dumb enough to drive back east, I would make the Fairfield Inn in Lafayette, LA on my stop list.

Smaller Marriott. Friendly staff were genuine and work hard. Place was OK, and very inexpensive. There’s another Marriott in town that is larger, more upscale, and closer to the central business district.
