Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Columbia

This was the cheapest Marriott Bonvoy-earning room in Columbia and being short of requalifying for elite status, I chose this hotel when we overnighted here to see a comedy show. This unassuming property shares a dead-end cul-de-sac with a Hooters and a sister Residence Inn and is very close to a Burger King, gas station/mini mart, Taco Bell, Golden Corral, and White Castle. The nearly empty parking lot at 8PM generated a little concern (followed by the sign on one elevator stating that it was out of service due to low occupancy). Truthfully though, the place was nice inside, had cool Mizzou decorations, and it felt safe inside and out. The great: The breakfast spread was amazing for a budget hotel. I don’t know if this is every day or just Saturdays, but they had scrambled eggs, thic

Loved the lobby and festive decorations for game day. They even had a goodie bag which provided a sealed water bottle which could be brought into the stadium. The location was good. Room & bed comfortable. Bathroom was basic and could use updates, but worked fine. Now if only Columbia would do away with price gouging of families visiting college kids. Universal to the city, but still drives me nuts.Breakfast buffet was plentiful. Personal issue of gluten intolerance left minimal options. Packaging was not available to see ingredients of potatoes or bacon. So i had prepackaged oatmeal and juice. Yogurt was available too.

Of the options in Columbia, I would never stay here again. I am here frequently for work, but had not been at the establishment. It did not feel clean. Beds were not that comfortable. Front desk staff was not equipped. The gym was small and did not have many options. TVs aren’t ‘smart’ and there’s no TV guide and remotes barely work.

Great experience. Overall above expectations. Management asked me for feedback as I left, which boosts my score for them.I'll break it down. Location: A bit off the path. Still withi. A minute of the interstate and around lots of food options, as well as a QT. It's not very visible from the road and sits behind a forested ditch with lots of foliage. It looks nice but it is a bit secluded for safety concerns. Services: They got just about everything right. They also had a good extensive breakfast. Some of the eggs did have an odd color to them, so Ia avoided them. Management did ask me how everything was upfront, so I let them know. I was happy they asked for feedback. Rooms: Clean and well maintained. Everything worked, good bed linens. No issues Overall a great option in Columbia. Wo

We stopped here on a road trip and had a wonderful stay. Check in and check out was so easy and service was incredibly friendly from start to finish. There are some renovations happening but it didn’t bother us and did not impact our stay at all, plus the GM was very considerate and gave all the guests goodie bags with treats, sleeping masks, and ear plugs in case of any noise. All amenities were accessible. Overall a quiet stay with delicious breakfast and wonderful, friendly service all around. Great place to stop on a road trip - we hope to come here again!
