The Fairfield Inn is fine. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the room was comfortable. The property is being renovated (Feb 2008) but it was not noisy and we were not inconvenienced as a result. Some old furniture was left in a stairwell, and covered in dust thick enough to have some words scrawled in it, but this was not in a prominent location of the inn.
The beds were great--very comfortable, lots of pillows (8 for 2 queen beds), fitted sheets--and the refrigerator worked well. The TV may or may not have not been working--the channel guide next to it listed many stations besides the dozen or so we could choose using the remote or the set itself. I asked the desk clerk if the channel guide was current, and she said she would ask, but we never heard back from her. Kids TV channels were listed on the guide but none of them came in on the TV, so that disappointed some of our party. The kids liked the pool, though, which was large, well-lit, and clean.
The lobby has a computer for guests to use, and no complicated procedures to get online. The entire property is non-smoking; there's an enclosed, lighted area outside for smokers to use. A sidewalk leads right to a good restaurant, CJ Highmarks, which is similar to Bob Evans' menu & price. The Fairfield Inn's complimentary breakfast was slightly better than most continental breakfasts, with a waffle maker and several cold choices (including yogurt and microwaveable biscuit sandwiches), but if something else is desired, there are several other restaurants nearby.
My kids were involved in a swim meet at a nearby YMCA, and when the desk clerk found out she handed us a nice printed card with detailed directions. She was also very appreciative when I returned and pointed out that they were incorrect.
If the price had been $15 cheaper I would have given the place 5 stars, but given the better experience we've had lately at less expensive places elsewhere in Ohio, I think this one rates slightly lower. Next time we're in Troy, we'll probably try somewhere else instead.
