We stayed here 4 days. This is substandard compared to others in the area. Housecleaning only comes by every FIVE days, so trash piles up if you don’t take it out yourself. Pillows were completely flat, the soap scum in the tub was so thick I could write my name in it, and there was mold in the ceiling in the bathroom. When we checked out we checked under the bed to make sure we hadn’t left anything and found a pair of socks and a solo cup that clearly didn’t belong to us. The fridge was leaky unless it was cranked all the way to freezing max, and finally, found a drop of blood on the boxspring (as part of that checkout look). Blech. All this coupled with no breakfast and honestly not cheap, I will not stay here again. Pros: front desk staff are very nice. There are better options!!!

This is a very clean, safe, and friendly hotel. We were on our way to Florida and needed a place to stay for a night. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, they took time to help two elderly ladies with the waffle iron and juice machine, not the typical attitude for hotel desk staff, very refreshing. Breakfast buffet was well stocked and clean. There is a Walgreens right next door in case you need anything and only 5 minutes from I-75 north and south bound. We would recommend.

This hotel has two amazing employees, the first is Shirley who is the breakfast attendant and is the warmest caring person you could possibly want in that position and she cooks an awesome breakfast. The other is Manuel at the front desk who is the most genuine employee I have ever met at a Marriott property. It was truly a pleasure dealing with these two amazing people this past weekend.

I wish I had read some of the recent reviews of this hotel before I had checked in. True, this hotel is under construction and I understand that and have no issue with it. It's the way the hotel is presented on both the Marriott and the Trip Advisor website versus the reality of the dank, dark and musty rooms and the poor customer service that's so disappointing. You can fix the rooms with renovation, but you can't fix attitude with one. When getting to the front desk, no greeting, no smile, just ”last name”? Handed me my key and that was that. As a Lifetime Titanium Elite, I would have at least expected how I would like my bonus points to be be used. Not the end of the world. I asked directions to my room and she pointed and said without looking up, ”Down that hall”. Nothing else was offered or said. Again, not the end of the world, but then when you go to your room and it's so terribly dated with an odor, it all adds up. This place has a long.long way to go to measure up to the standard I've become used to in the majority of Marriott properties. And now that I have read the recent reviews of this property, before the GM responds with the sorry for the issues but the renovation will solve the problem, I'm noy buying it.

There are two supermarkets such as target on the side of the hotel, including McDonald's, a Vietnamese restaurant and several American restaurants. Opposite the hotel is the school gate near the business school. The hotel is quite quiet and the stay is quite satisfactory. . . . . .

Prior to arriving at this beautiful hotel I spoke with the manager Travis, without hesitation he agreed to hold my son’s packages for his dorm until we arrived. The hotel is GORGEOUS. All the staff is friendly and appears to love working there. Travis thank you so much for taking care of my family and all the other gator families at the hotel. Because of your generosity and dedication to us we will be staying here the next 4 years. I don’t think I’ve enjoyed a hotel stay like this in years. Kudos Fairfield. Lisa Gold
