Fairfield Inn & Suites

I might have slept better if I hadnt seen the large beetle crawling around the ceiling most of the evening. And the bed is firm enough to be concrete, to my extreme discomfort.
Otherwise, the room was fine.

Location
This hotel is well situated for a hiking vacation in the northern part of Shenandoah National Park, only 15 minutes from the entrance in Front Royal. However as we came to realize, many of the best hikes are in the middle and lodging near Harrisonburg would have meant less driving. It is also close to an Italian restaurant, several fast food joints and some gas stations. A couple miles down the road is a supermarket, drugstore and liquor store.
Staff
Check in was easy and most of the front desk staff were extremely helpful, especially Michele. The exception was Connie who quickly got an attitude with us anytime we asked a question. The lady in charge of breakfast setup was helpful and attentive.
Room
King room was small and basic but clean and it had a new feel. Free wifi and free hot or cold breakfast were very nice to have, though don’t expect a gourmet breakfast.
Cons
Big downsides which lose it a star — room does not have a refrigerator like most Fairfield’s and also does not have a room safe! In my opinion a room safe is more important than free wifi and breakfast. There is supposed to be free coffee until 10pm but the first 2 nights at around 8pm it was all packed away and the front desk staff got a bit of an attitude when asked if they were making any more!
Summary
Reasonably convenient for the National Park but otherwise an average place to stay. Mostly friendly staff.

Nice spot to stop passing through the Shannendoa valley. Did not use the pool but had breakfast. The rooms wee clean but the beds a bit soft. Why is it we have to stay at a full service Marriott to get a decent mattress? Other than that we liked the place and stayed on the way back home as well

Very nice end to a long day!
After a full day in a class nearby, the experience here was certainly pleasant. We were quickly greeted and checked in (we were also able to choose the floor our room was on!).
The room was clean and the furnishings were very modern. Only complaint was some stains on one of the decorative throws (?).
Four out of five because the overall experience was great but the stains were a bit off putting.

Shannon was super courteous at checkin and made Ezra effort to give an upgrade for a room that inadvertently booked next to elevator wall. The room was great and the whole place clean. Great ambassadors for the Marriott brand. Even printed out directions for a recommended Mexican restaurant over in Woodstock. A++ for the whole team Brittany too!

Fairly clean hotel beds were fairly clean. Hotel interior was very nice looking. Free wifi? Complimentary breakfast? Excellent! Breakfast was not bad! The staff was very helpful and friendly. The gym in the hotel is GREAT! Of course it’s not like a YMCA but it’s pretty good. The staff were very friendly and helpful! I highly recommend this hotel!

I’m impressed.
Pulled in after a looong day, we had a late check-​in. We literally told the friendly clerk our name from the reservation, he handed us the key to our clean, perfectly climate controlled room, and we were checked in within 30 seconds! By «perfectly climate controlled,» I mean it was chilly from A/​C on high. Which was nice because today was one of those Virginia-​in-​July days that was hotter’n forty hells!
We’re tired and satisfied campers!
Well lighted parking, nice smelling place, efficient process and staff, see ya at breakfast! :-)
I mean, short of Charlize Theron personally handing me a warm cookie AND a winning Powerball ticket, the welcome doesn’t get much better than what we just experienced.

Breakfast was OK. Sausage & eggs, toast & bagels, cereal, juice, and the like.
Hot tub and pool are relaxing. I’d like to loiter all day and soak, nap, and drink. Eventually eat again I suppose, but I’m still stuffed from breakfast.
We ended up I the handicap accessible room. I don’t require those amenities (yet), but they looked to be in tip top shape. There is even a chair lift gizmo poolside so you could get your laps in, get your soak on, get your dip dipped, and so on and so forth. And everything.
Mama’s happy. I’m happy. We’re both well rested, clean, and fed. Good start to the day.

I mean, it’s just not a concierge/​full bar/​celebrity chef type of 5 star place. But, for what it is (clean roadside chain lodging), it’s a good’n.

We had a week long stay while attending a Bogg’s 3 Slat chair building class with Jeff Lefkowitz a short drive away. Our fourth floor room was quiet, clean and large enough for my wife and I to be comfortable for our 7 days. We enjoyed the ease of just going down to the breakfast area and have a nice selection to choose from. The attendant always had plenty of coffee, the area was clean and she always made sure you had what you needed.

Staff was very friendly and helpful! We weren’t too keen on the bed and the noise was pretty bad from the road. Also a lot of interior noise between floors (thought we had a herd of elephants above us!) and could hear full conversations in the hall. Didn’t use the pool, but it looked nice. Complementary breakfast was pretty good for a free meal… beware powdered eggs! I repeat that the bed was tremendously uncomfortable and the heater either blew cold or waaaaaaay too hot. It was a clean, basic room though with the added convenience of a microwave and mini fridge. Walk ability to restaurants and convenience stores.
