Would go again
The hotel was nice. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Pool was nice but could use a few more lounges and umbrellas (that do t blow over in the wind).

Great hotel
Very nice hotel in Fairfield.
We loved the room with pool view.
Pool area wonderful.
Breakfast was the only thing which could be improved. Very limited choises and weird tabels which was too high to sit around.
We will come back next time we are in the area.

visiting family in town
Perfectly located for our family trip. The pool was clean with lots of shaded and comfortable areas to sit. The beach pass was an added bonus. My only complaint is there is no fan in the bathroom and it fogged up so much that the toilet paper becomes so wet you can't use it.

Cute and comfortable
Quick overnight stay and we were pleasantly impressed. The room was clean and comfortable and looked to have been recently painted. I also loved the new- friendly garden outside our room.

One Summer Night
We were really happy with the check-in process, room and pool. Breakfast was simple but worked well for us (including our two toddlers). Everything was clean - not updated but well maintained. Beds were comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.
