Loved My Stay

I absolutely loved my stay at The Fairfield Cal Expo! The highlight of my experience was the outstanding customer service from Liz at the front desk—she greeted me with warmth and kindness every single morning during my week-long stay. Big shoutout to Liz (or Lisa)! I’ll definitely be returning to this location. The service was top-notch, the room was spotless and comfortable, parking was easy and accessible, the amenities were great, and the location was super convenient—close to everything I needed.

Fun in the Sun

Upon check in, staff was very rude. The lady made eye contact but refused to acknowledge my presence. I had to make conversation to check in. Woman acted as if I bother her. In addition, two men standing behind the counter conversated and also ignored two couples trying to check in. Horrible first experience after a 4-hour car trip.

Room was fine, bed was pretty hard, sheets were not as soft as they should be for the price of the room. Dark hair on the bathroom floor. 🤔

Noise reduction needed

If you are planning to stay at the Fairfield Inn by Marriott, please note that the hotel appears to be a bit older and the noise/sound controls that seem to be present in newer hotels are not built in to the Fairfield. Noise travels quite a bit and we were able to hear the next room talking, the television and the music (unfortunately at 3am). We called the front desk to see if they could ask the room to reduce the noise and the lady we spoke with was very accomodating and the music was turned off almost immediately. I have no issues with the service but it just seemed the hotel does not have some of the modern 'noise cancelling' controls in place. There is another Marriott property in the same location so perhaps it might be a better option if location is a deciding factor.

Overall an okay place to crash. Felt safe. Nothing special or above average. The ice machine was broken and made a loud buzzing sound that made it difficult to sleep but I’m assuming that was a one off. Staff was polite. Little pricey for nothing above average.
