This hotel looks like a beautiful pleasant place to come and rest after a busy day. But it is anything but that! When we arrived our 1st room smelled musty so we moved to the 2nd room which had a huge brown water leak stain on the ceiling. 3rd time is a charm...right? WRONG our 3rd room has torn carpet, cigaret burns on the bed skirt, scratches and stains on the sink, and is overall a disgusting room. You may have to face the fact that in this economy you get what you pay for that's it! Maybe even a little less (in this case) you may have to take some rainy day money to pay for a nicer hotel but it will be worth it! THIS ISN'T THE PLACE TO STAY UNLESS YOU LIKE CRAP.

In all of our extensive travels here and abroad, we've come to expect great quality from the Marriott properties. When in Atlanta for a family visit before Thanksgiving, it was only natural for us to look for a Marriott property for our stay. Buckhead is a high-end area of Atlanta that boasts great shopping, dining and businesses. It is a clean and upscale part of Atlanta that we quite enjoy. The Fairfield property though, was quite lacking. The decor is older, needing a fresh, updated look, the hallways were a bit dirty (granted the parking lot was full of dead leaves that kept getting blown in), there were cracking in the walls, molding and just an over-all dingy appearance. If you're in need of a beverage or a snack, unlike most Marriott properties, you won't find the 'store' where you can purchase them. Instead, on the first floor, you'll only find a vending machine that will charge about $1.75 for a small bag of chips. Oy. It just seemed that this hotel, considering it is on a major street in Buckhead needed an overhaul. Our room # sign by our door fell off during our stay, which only added irony to the visit. The parking lot is limited, and shared with an office/apartment complex, so be wary that you may find trouble getting a spot late at night. Next time, we will definitely forgo this hotel and find either another Marriott property or another property brand altogether.

The Fairfield Inn in Buckhead is your standard free breakfast/free internet hotel that every business traveler has encountered. What stood out was the front desk staff -- very friendly, welcoming, and with good advice on dinner options.

My standard king room was basic, no frills but exceptionally clean. The furniture was in good condition, but nothing exciting to look at. Speaking of nothing to look at -- don't stay here hoping for a view of Atlanta city lights -- my room looked out onto the brick wall of the adjacent building. The way the Fairfield is situated, there is no opportunity for a view. But I'm guessing that folks who stay here are doing so for the relatively low price given the good location of the hotel.

Three minor complaints about my room: (1) The desk was on the small side, and was crowded by my laptop and the desk lamp provided; (2) sink counter space was miniscule -- barely room for a toothbrush! and 3) the flat screen TV was located inside an armoire and couldn't easily be swiveled around for viewing from the lone easy chair in the room.

All in all, a decent value for an average hotel in a good location. But it's the friendliness of the staff that makes all the difference.

This is a standard Fairfield Inn hotel, but extremely well-located in the Buckhead area of Atlanta. Very clean and well-maintained. Very friendly staff and good breakfast.
