Fairfield Inn Appleton

Dirty, dingy, old, dusty, dated… Please get me out of here. My company stuck me at this place due to a freaking football game. The only upside is there is lots of places to eat nearby.

Booked this hotel online. Came in late. Room was very nice as was the hotel. Breakfast was good, wi-​fi was good. Nice pool but no hot tub. However, we had to check out after only one night because the bed was too soft. The mattress was low quality, not what you would expect from a name brand Hotel. I have noticed this at Marriott hotels and have had to ask for bed boards at some of the more expensive ones. If Marriott would invest in higher quality mattresses they would get more business. Noticed on the Marriott web site that they copied from the Westin with their heavenly bed mattress. However, it is not the same. If you want the best mattress and sleep of any hotel chain, the Westin is the leader because the invested in a top quality mattress.

Staff is very friendly… unfortunately the hotel is just below average across the board on amenities and décor… probably par for fairfield locations… I only stay here because it is a Marriott property preferred by my company

Walgreens had put me in this hotel for the weekend while I helped work at one of their locations nearby.
Many of the employees had to share double bed rooms, but I luckily ended up with a single King bed room.
The King bed was very comfortable, and I was happy to have 5 pillows to myself, but the fitted sheets were not so fitting. When I woke in the morning, they were no longer around the bed but on top (and I am not a crazy sleep mover, this event doesn’t happen at home or other hotel beds I have slept in). This happened both nights I stayed.
The room temp was comfortable with the digital themostat for a/​c and heat, and not very loud. The bathroom was clean and stocked with adequate supply of pillows. Shower fixtures worked well. The room was spacious to have a queen sized sofabed/​couch and desk. Refrig and microwave both worked fine, didn’t try the coffee maker.
Continental breakfast was bagels, bananas, make your own waffles, breakfast dogs, activia yogurt, dry cereal and milk, including soy milk, muffins and donuts. I burned my thumb the first morning because my bagel got stuck in the toaster, but the next morning they had a new toaster.
I enjoyed the hot tub, next the the pool (i didnt go into pool). The 2 other women in the hot tub with me complained about the chemical smell and the burn in their eyes. This didn’t bother me as much, but it was noticeable. I stayed in for 30 minutes, enjoyed a canned beverage, then returned to my room to shower off the chemicals off my skin.
The front desk staff were very friendly. And my bed was made and room tidy each day. I purposely didn’t leave the «please clean my room» card out because I didnt think it necessary, but they did it anyways. Not sure if this is ok with me or not. I could have reused the one hand towel I had and didn’t need my bed made again.
I did not have my laptop with me but they included their wi-​fi password with my room keys. They also offered a guest pass to Golds Gym during my stay, which I did not partake of.
Overall, it was a very nice stay and I would stay there again.

This hotel is definitely older and is need of an upgrade. The TV’s are old, the bed is not as comfortable as one would hope, and the décor is bright green. They do have free wifi and a decent free breakfast which is nice but for the price there are probably better places to stay in the area.

I have stayed at many Marriott properties, many much newer, with many more amenities…
They may have an aged building and a lack of on-​site gym, but the service is stellar!
Melinda at the front desk is on point and deserves 5 stars, the lack of amenities really keeps this place from earning 5 stars… With out this stellar staff they would be wallowing in 2 or 3 star land…
I would stay here again!

This is a pretty good cheap place to stay for business. You get free breakfast in the morning, the rooms are warm, and the beds were comfortable.
There isn’t a fridge or microwave in the rooms and some rooms still smell like smoke since they’re converting all their rooms to non-​smoking. There’s only this place and the Residence Inn if you want your Marriott points.
I think the best part of this deal is your free Gold’s Gym passes. I think the Fairfield Inn and the Hampton Inn, and another place have an agreement with the Gold’s Gym down the street. You can take any class and also go whenever since it’s 24 hours.
Otherwise, a good place to stay.
