Fairfield Inn and Suites

This was a nice place but the perfume smell that was in a the room was atrocious. Are they covering up someone who smoked perhaps?
Made me worry about the cleanliness.
But other than that it’s fine.

Nice clean hotel; typical Fairfield Inn. The bed was very comfortable and the suite was clean. The location of this hotel is on a major road with a lot of chain restaurants and shops and fast food joints around — you’re not gonna starve here. It is convenient to the highway. Free breakfast, free parking, free wifi. All good.
If you stay here, you MUST walk right in front of the hotel and go to the Highland Gourmet Scone Shop (or go to the convenient drive-​thru). Trust me, you will NOT regret this suggestion — BEST SCONES EVER!

Quick check in, clean rooms, s l o w elevator. Friendly staff. Convenient to Oak Mountain Amphitheater and to Krystal and a Mexican restaurant (both within a block).
Friend booked a queen suite with sleeper sofa. Slept three easily. Bathroom was large. Coffeepot was rocking old school Mr. Coffee-​style 4 cup style which I LOVE! Microwave and mini fridge included, but no wet-​bar sink. 2 flat screens, speakerphone phone (s), and a desk area.
I would not recommend this suite for 3 adults for extended stay, it would get kinda cramped with the bottle neck being the «kitchenette» adjacent to the bathroom right by the door.
I slept on the sofa and had the thermostat set to 68 ish. Froze my friends out because the bedroom has the AC unit, not the living room and the vents are not equally dispersed — just the one unit in the bedroom.
I wish they had a completed wall dividing the living area from the bedroom. That would have made it much quieter for me on the sofa.
Can’t review the breakfast since I didn’t try it. Did pick up a couple of bananas and an OJ, which were fine. Front desk denied our late check out request even though my friend is like Marriot Platinum (or whatever the stellar level of Marriott is) due to it being a concert weekend. Also, the prices really increase when there is an event at Oak Mtn., but, I guess that is the business model. Overall, I would recommend for a clean, friendly place to crash after a late night show at Oak Mountain.

We had a choice of several suite hotels and chose this one because of good reviews and supposedly superior amenities. So far, we are disappointed. The desk clerk that checked us in was rude and abrupt. None of that southern hospitality and friendliness we were hoping for after an 8 hour drive from Ohio. After the front desk person took our credit card he informed us that the hot tub was broken and the indoor pool was NOT heated. No welcome, we’re glad you’re here and no I’m sorry you won’t get to relax your sore, tired muscles on the hot tub we advertised. The king suite room itself was spacious, but the living area was sadly empty of welcoming furniture. There was one green two seater sofa and two upright chairs and that was it. The rest of the room was empty and wasted space, just a big beige empty wall. They give you «free internet» but the first thing you read is that you have to pay $ 4.95 a day for «high speed» internet, which is what you would expect on an upscale business/​leisure hotel anyway. So far were using the free internet. The kitchenette is just a small sink, a small microwave and a really tiny, sort of warm refrigerator. Fitness center has two inoperable treadmills that quit/​short out in the middle of a work out. The display on the elliptical machine also does not work. So don’t bother trying to get a good workout on this hotel. The maintenance man crush and said «they’ve been like that for a while» and had no idea how to fix them. So all in all I paid a lot for a nice, upscale room that I just didn’t get. Next time I’m in this area I WON’T stay here again. I don’t feel it came close to living up to my expectations.

Great service. My family often prefers this hotel when we’re in town. It’s close in proximity to family, friends and things to do. Staff is great. Pleasurable experience

Awesome experience with this Fairfield Inn. The rooms were extra roomy: not sure if it was because we were in the handicap accessible rooms, but we have been in some of those that were much smaller.
The staff was all extremely nice, especially the breakfast staff (Ruth) went out of her way to help us locate nutritional information for one of our children who is on a restrictive diet.
We have stayed at many Fairfield Inns and it has been hit or miss as to the quality of the facility and staff. This one was definitely a home run.

Very clean and nice hotel. We have a family of 5 and needed 2 beds plus pullout. The 2 bed suite is very accommodating and plenty of room. Staff was extremely friendly and good place to stay.

Very nice experience. Pelham is a regular layover on a trip home from the beach. We had been staying at HI Express but last couple of stays, odors, cleanliness and breakfast had gone down. Checked Unilocal and followed the limited reviews. Made a reservation, price great for 4 of us.
Check in fast efficient, lobby area fresh, modern and clean. Hallways the same, either fairly new or recent update. Rooms large, clean and décor modern. Beds great. Bathroom large and nice. Rooms are quite even on a crowed night. Went to bed early after long day on road and was very peaceful.
Breakfast was fresh, hot and tasty, restocked often and plenty of seating. Area was policed and cleaned even with many families with lots of small kids.
The bill slipped under our door was for $ 20 less than the online price I signed up for creating a pleasant surprise. Our new go to place in Pelham.

I don’t throw out 5 star ratings liberally, but they deserve it.
Arrived late in the evening after searching multiple places for a hotel. I was pleasantly surprised by friendly hotel staff. Promptly found me a room at a very reasonable price. The facility was immaculate. Everything was clean. The room was spotless. It also had a fridge, microwave and LCD TV. The bed was comfortable and king sized!
Complimentary breakfast was great: waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage patties, assorted pastries, juice, fruit cups, fresh fruit, cereal, toast, coffee.
Overall great experience. Very friendly and helpful staff. Super clean — everywhere. Ample parking.
