I stay at a ton of Fairfields being a Marriott rewards member. This is probably the nicest one I’ve ever stayed at. The breakfast is really good—waffle bar, sliced avocado, biscuits and gravy etc. plus all the regular items you’re used to seeing. Rooms are clean and updated. We were here during a hockey tournament and even with teams of teenage hockey players I didn’t hear a thing at night.

At Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites, oh what a delight, In Nashville it sparkled both morning and night. From check-in to pillows to hallways so neat, This wasn’t just lodging—it felt extra sweet! Then we met Candace—oh goodness, oh wow! Going over and beyond (she’s still doing it now). With kindness and care and a smile so dear,, She made sure our stay was pure comfort and cheer. And all of the staff—what a marvelous crew! So helpful, so cheerful, each smile felt brand new. If happiness traveled and needed a place, It would stay at this Fairfield with rhythm and grace! PS: The breakfast buffet was AMAZING!

Great property, amazing staff that really rose to the situation. When this catastrophic ice storm hit, there were 250,000 people with no power and hotels were immediately hit with a barrage of guests. The staff at this Fairfield was exceptional. They were courteous, patient and accommodating. Additionally, the rooms were very clean and anything you needed was just a quick call away. I must also mention that the breakfast was absolutely wonderful. With different selections every day from waffles to omelets to frittata's with fresh avocado and excellent coffee. Just amazing. Candace and her team are wonderful and came to the rescue when so many of us were suddenly displaced. They made us feel welcome and at home. We highly recommend this gem.

Great place to stay. Larry at the front desk is awesome. The ladies were equally friendly. Quick Lyft ride to Broadway downtown. I love the free breakfast and coffee. Quiet neighborhood with food options close by. We would definitely stay here again.

This place was literally our saving grace, not sure how we would have kept our sanity during the ice storm without it. We travel a lot and the breakfast here is incredible. Sliced avocados, cheese omelettes, waffle bar for the kiddos. And the front desk was so kind and accommodating. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!!

Absolutely loved the hotel. We stayed after the ice storm knocked out our power, were surrounded by locals and their dogs, was such a warm atmosphere. Arguably the best hotel breakfast we’ve had (they had 2 different kinds of eggs, avocado, etc. Things that when you travel a lot, you appreciate). We played pool in the lobby. So many restaurants are walkable. The rooms were clean and new. Possibly the best Fairfield I’ve stayed.

I am so excited to give a review of this property and the exceptional staff. We stayed at this property for two nights this past weekend and enjoyed our stay immensely from the complimentary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate to the very comfortable and clean rooms. The staff were so kind and sweet. They were able to answer any questions we had. A huge shout out to DeAndre and Selena at the front desk for being so awesome!!! They were both top notch hands down and did not hesitate to make sure we were completely comfortable. We shared some laughs and jokes too. Deandre left his post to personally deliver another set of sheets and blankets for the pull out sofa on our first night. Our second night, we stayed in a double queen room. However for some reason it seemed like the sheets and pillows were different from those we had in our our first room; they had a rough texture making it uncomfortable to sleep and the pillows in the room were all flat, not offering both soft and firm pillow like the first room. Seems weird right?? Long story short, we didn’t sleep well at all. During checkout I casually mentioned this to Selena. She apologized for the experience and comped our parking fees. I never asked for this nor did I expect it. I am truly grateful for her kindness and commitment to guests being well taken care of. 5 starts to DeAndra and Selena and beautiful hotel. Thank you Marriott!
