We stayed here several years ago and returned in August for 4 nights. It is so clean here, especially that they use white bedspreads and linen. The front desk are very helpful and friendly. They even put out freshly baked cookies late in the afternoon. There is always water and coffee available. There is a complimentary breakfast area but did not use it. Also did not use the indoor pool, but the area looked clean.
The hotel is directly across the street from the Holiday Inn shopping mall, which is very convenient. Being just off the main street, you have access to numerous restaurants and easy to get in and out of Great Falls.
Definitely recommend staying here and will go back there again when we travel down to Great Falls.

We travel to Great Falls frequently. A co-worker has shared with me about the great experiences with Mariott hotels so when our usual hotel was booked, we thought we'd give the Fairfield a try. I realize the Fairfield is not meant to emulate the higher-end Mariotts but this hotel was a tremendous disappointment. The location is very good; it is within walking distance of the mall and several eateries. Unfortunately, the negative comments far outweigh the benefit of the location. The hotel is shabby; this is clear by the worn, cracked looking exterior, small parking area, and the lack of any sort of welcoming appearance. It looks like a (somewhat) refurbished Super 8 or Motel 6 (in fact, both are nicer in Great Falls). We are quite able to look past a less than perfect appearance, but the individual working at the front desk was unprofessional and unwelcoming. She was clearly more interested in socializing with the young men (who did not appear to be hotel guests) loitering in the lobby. The lobby was grubby, and cluttered with shabby furniture and strewn with various electrical cords. The clerk offered us no information whatsoever about any amenities before sending us to a room we hadn't booked. We came back and she did move us to the correct room but she was surly about (I assure you, we were extremely pleasant and told her we understood if one was not available). There is one ice machine, but it was broken and she could offer no suggestion to the guest who was inquiring where he might purchase some ice. The room was grubby - there was dirty water in the bathtub, lots of dirt/grime on the tile floor in the bathroom and splattered pop on the bathroom door and wall. The upholstery on the sofa cushion is torn and the stuffing was sticking out. The desk and coffee table were sticky with residue. I'm not looking for perfect but I do appreciate seeing evidence that management has some pride in the property. This is clearly not the case with this hotel. I should add that the water pressure in the shower is terrific and the bed is very comfortable (though the sheet is too small and kept popping off the corner of the mattress). The walls are, as other travellers have noted, paper thing so we definitely picked up on some of the noise other reviewers have mentioned.

We have stayed at many properties in Great Falls over the years. Each one of them was nicer than the Fairfield and less expensive. I don't think anything bad will happen to you if you stay here and you'll sleep comfortably in the bed but if you have a choice, try somewhere else. You will be treated like a valued guest instead of a bothersome inconvenience and you'll probably save some money while you're at it.

Not great, but not bad. This hotel had air-conditioning but it didn't work in our room. Other than that, it was ok. Breakfast was very minimal but sufficient. I would say this hotel is on the low end of the Fairfield inn scale. I did not think the value matched the price for a 2 queen room ($139 with tax). I would probably try another hotel in the same price range next time.

Stayed at the Great Falls Fairfield Inn and had a fantastic experience. Great Staff and awsome accomodations.Everytime I'm in Great Falls I always stay at the Fairfield Inn.
Warm cookies in the afternoon were a nice touch. The breakfast is excellent.Staff are superb.Only thing would be nice to have 2 waffle makers instead of one.To long to wait for one.But hey it's a very god Hotel.All staff are very friendly.Thank you for a wonderful stay. See you next time.Mr. and Mrs. N.P from Saskatoon.
