“Great place to swim in the fall!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Me and my best friend got a room at this hotel because her 8 yr old son wonted to have a swim party in the middle of November! It was great. They had free breakfast and was located near lots of shopping areas.We had five kids and they had a blast . We camped out in the room and enjoyed the inside pool all weekend long . We went out for pizza and cake and to the movies . It was some kind of children's team also staying at the hotel so we felt right at home.

“VERY NICE!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2011

This hotel was recommened to us by DiMarini Showcases, my son was attending a camp. The hotel staff and rooms very wonderful. We even had to change rooms becuase they were going to be working on the water, they were extremely nice and helped us change rooms. No reason to be ugly about it becuase they were just so nice. Rooms were clean and continental breakfast was good.

“Marginal Room and Service”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011
2
people found this review helpful

PROS: Free wireless internet, easy access off Hwy 280, Indoor Pool appears clean, Continental Breakfast (did not try), Night Staff very friendly
CONS: Room isn't up to Marriott standards
OUR STAY: Booked room for two nights, second night was only to come back and shower next morning after hospital stay with son. The room (105) looked older and the dresser appeared as if it came from Goodwill (nothing against Goodwill, but not what I expect from Marriott brand). My wife accidentally ran her foot under end of bed skirt and kicked an old pair of boxer shorts that had been left from a previous stay. The bathroom was fairly clean, no hair, but the shower curtain was not very clean and the toilet had some crud around the bottom as if the wax ring was leaking.
We left next morning at 9:45am, removed Do Not Disturb, and asked Housekeeping (who was directly across hall) for new towels and tissues. When my wife returned the next morning around 6:00am from hospital, housekeeping had not touched our room at all. The front desk said we must have left DND sign on door, which I know is not the case. We're pretty easy going folk, but very disappointing, especially after long night at hospital.

Room Tip: Do not settle for 105 or anything like it

At the Fairfield Inn Birmingham Inverness, we go above and beyond to ensure each of our guests has an excellent experience during their stay. The guests who posted this survey did request service from our housekeeping staff, but only requested that they receive a replenishment of their paper products. When the housekeeper asked the guest if they wanted a full service of their room, they indicated to her that everything was fine and that all they needed was a replacement for their facial tissue. Contrary to the guests posting, we were never made aware of these issues prior to their posting. Our organization prides itself on making sure we exceed every guests expectations everyday. If a guest contacts us regarding an issue with their stay, we will respond quickly and effeciently to ensure the guests total satisfaction. Additionally, we are working on a daily basis to improve our products and services for our guests in order to make your stay more enjoyable. Thank you for staying with the Fairfield Inn Birmingham Inverness, your home away from home in the Birmingham Area!!

“Overall very nice stay.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2011

Front desk was very helpful and efficient. Pool area modest but clean, with nice little outdoor landscaped area adjacent. Room was very clean. Bed checked for bed bugs with none found. Slept wonderfully on the mattress. Good water pressure. In room fridge, which is nice. Very quiet, and convenient to many local eateries, shopping, and easy access to the rest of Birmingham via quick access to the expressway I-459. The breakfast was very nice, not exceptional, but quite complete. Kind of high on the carbs side. They said Monday morning is their weakest breakfast morn; "families devastate the buffet on the weekend, and buffet reinforcements come later on Monday". But it was quite adequate. The room was just a bit musty smelling, which would be a good thing to overcome. The rate was ~ $150. I'd like a bit more pizzazz for that kind of money. But, overall, it was a very nice stay.

Room Tip: Ask for an upper floor, and also, if you may change rooms if you find anything objectionable on insp...
