I had allotted myself a few extra dollars so we could stay in 4 and 5 star hotels. Palm Beach was not going to be on the high end this trip.. By chance the night before we left Cocoa Beach I found The Fairfield Inn. It was a reasonable $139 a night using the triple A card. We had stayed at the Courtyard in Cocoa Beach which was lovely and on a busy strip of stores and hotels the night before. One of things that attracted me to these two places was the rewards from Marriott I would receive. Marriott has never let me down, and it did not this time. At the Fairfield you get to stay on a corner property with a pool, and jacuzzi.The bed and room were comfortable and clean. In the morning you get a breakfast that included yogurt, fresh fruit to take with you or eat there, hard boiled eggs or a breakfast sandwich and more. This is a serve yourself so you do not have to tip anyone. It is included free of charge in your hotel fee. We shared a table with another couple. They do accommodate familes, handicapped, seniors, and everyone else. If you go.. travel down the street to see all the luxurious condos, Worth Street is nearby, and large gated homes with shrubs as high up as 15 feet is a must see experience. We ate dinner at a place called Bob's Crab House. It is on Zagat's list and will not disappoint you. It is casual and affordable... It is a little drive away from the hotel.

It's nothing short of miraculous that this affordable hotel is right in Palm Beach -- the beach is right across the street, and it's an easy walk to all the bars and restaurants in downtown Lake Worth. Rooms are quiet and clean --this isn't a luxury hotel but it's perfectly adequate. Prices are obviously much better in the off-season. I've stayed here and have had friends and relatives stay here -- the staff is very friendly and helpful. The only downside is that there is a large posse of 'regulars' who come and stay for extended periods in the winter, and they can be a little territorial about the common areas.

If you can go a few days without room service, concierge and white glove amenities,
and you are looking for easy access to a clean beach, then this place is perfect.

I believe there was an included continental breakfast, light fare.

But after breakfast, walk across the street and be on the beach.

Incredibly reasonable rates, and a few decents lunch and dinner places alongside the beach.


We will go again.


Tip: rent a car if you seek entertainment, try the citycenter!

Family friendly. Walk to the beach. Lake worth Lagoon in the back of the property. An added bonus is that if your stay is over a weekend from Late October till early May you get to enjoy a lively green market. Fresh produce, baked goods and a special Canal Street section. Best of all it is just steps outside your hotel room and it is free.
