My wife and I spent a night at the fairfield inn for our anniversary. I purchase the romance package that came with dinner at the Melting Pot in Atlantic City. We arrived about 3:30 and ran into a back up in the lobby. Word was housekeeping had just finishing the rooms and the manager was doing inspections before they started giving out room keys. Minor inconvenience for my wife and I, we sat down in the dining area and had some complimentary tea & coffee.
About 4:15 we recieved our key to the room, king size bed, fridge (did not cool), microwave, jacuzzi tub (outside the bathroom..interesting). Room was a cool 64 degrees, we cut that down to 72. My wife loved the heating lamp in the bathroom, apparently not to many hotels have that any more (excellent job guys).
Our voucher for the Melting Pot was suppose to be in our room and the front desk told me it would be delivered. It had not. I had made 7pm reservation, so about 6:15 we went down to the desk. The manager apologized and provided us with our voucher.
Fairfield has a shuttle that runs every hour to the Resorts Casino, but we drove. Only took about 10 minutes. Parked for $12 in the open parking lot across the street from Trump Plaza with is $20-$30 for parking. The only thing we paid for in the Melting Pot which can easily run to $150 for two people was drink and tip. Awesome!...Walk the boardwalk, lost a few dollars in the casino, then came on back to the hotel.
The soda & ice machines were out of order on our floor (5th), hopefully that has been resolved by now. So I had to go down to the 4th. Breakfast the next morning consisted of eggs, sausage (i believe pork), toast, bagels, muffins, fruit. They even had some breakfast sandwiches and yogurt in the mini fridge. About 6 people in line for the waffles, so I didn't bother. I would suggest adding another waffle maker or premake some and place them into the top of the double warmer they had were the sausage and eggs are kept. Just a suggestion. Overall, I would return. That romance package is worth it..
Room Tip: The romance room was $250 but comes with free dinner worth $100. Excellent deal.

Good afternoon,
Thank you for your comments and concerns regarding your stay at the Fairfield Inn Atlantic City North. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed the romance package while you stayed with us. The package is in fact a great deal as the dinner alone would add up to be an expensive night out if it werent for the complimentary voucher. The breakfast is a great bonus as it is more than just your fruit and ceral and offers hot items as well which you listed above. The weekends tend to be a little crowed and we have since taken your comments and purchased another waffle maker. Again I would like to thank you for your comments and look forward to having you return as our guest in the near future.
