Overall decent stay. Some of the receptionist staff are less than favorable. We only had issues with 1 in specific, all others were great. Nice place and mostly clean but did notice some mold in the shower. WiFi did not work as stated it would and working remotely while staying there was impossible. Otherwise decent stay.

UVA Exchange Parents from Sydney, Australia Hotel (& our room) was generally clean, tidy & fresh. Spacious & comfortable room with 2 Queen-sized beds. Only 2 of us occupied the room, but could asily accommodate up to 4 people & not feel cramped inside. Carpark was spacious, too, for the big Chrysler rental that we had. A shout out to the staff who were great! That is, staff from Reception, Cleaning & Kitchen. They were all very polite & attentive, as well as helpful!! A special shout out to Ge. Price per night with a buffet breakfast was reasonably competitive. Waffles, pancakes & French toast (served on some of the days) with thin & crispy bacon & eggs were the highlight for us! Also loved the oatmeal with oat milk & fruit compote!! Although, breakfast would have been even better if there was some fresh vegetables served, like tomatoes, cucumber & lettuce/baby spinach, as well with the buffet. This freshness would help break down the oils/butter used in the cooking. Thus, providing a healthier & a balanced breakfast meal. Would also help accommodate some Vegetarian guests. Having some bananas & mandarins was nice, but on top of that, serving some other fruit like apples/ pears would go nicely, as well. My husband & I enjoyed our stay in the Fairfield Suites/Marriot Hotel University Area, Charlottesville - we felt comfortable, relaxed & safe. We would definitely stay in this hotel again. Thank you to all the staff - you were great!!! D & B Sydney, Australia

Nice hotel, but with road noise
Overall, the Fairfield Inn is a nice place for the price. Breakfast and parking are included in the price, which many all of the nearby hotels charge separately for these. The negative item for us was our room faced Cherry Street. Surprisingly, between emergency vehicles and loud pickups and cars, there were numerous times throughout the night we were woken by the road noise.
