"Some of them are living an illusion Bounded by the darkness of their minds I woke up today, I was crying Lost in a lost world" (Moody Blues) "I wanna take shelter From the poison rain Where the streets have no name" (U2) The Fairfield Inn Ann Arbor was almost impossible to find, and yes, for a while we were lost in a lost world and driving on unnamed streets. Forget about relying on your phone or GPS, because the address does not compute. The hotel is in the middle of an interconnected spiderweb-like complex of other hotels and office buildings and parking lots. Our room itself was pretty good, with a comfy bed, large TV, good working WIFI, and a bath shower with plenty of hot water and pressure. The breakfast dining room is quite small, and food choices (when they were stocked) included cereal, oatmeal, bagels, waffles, turkey sausage patties, scrambled and hardboiled eggs, juice, apples, and muffins. The breakfast goods were not well stocked with many things being empty. I saw one guy trying to squeeze the last drops out of the waffle machine by tipping it over as though he was tilting a pinball machine. When we mentioned to one of the staff that the coffee creamer cannister was empty, she kind of glared at us an dismissed our notification with a wave of her hand. The room rate was $112, and taxes brought our total to $124.32. Parking is free. read more

I had a really nice stay. I think the bedding was comfortable. the room temperature controls were excellent. my mom loved the coffee. The breakfast buffet was OK. The pool was really clean and it was nice and warm and toasty inside the pool room. The bathroom was really nice and clean. I would go back there again. Ps I like how they use mid-century modern design read more

we stayed at the Fairfield Inn by M for 3 nights when I received the Ross Distinguished Alum Award 2025. the best part of r stay was the morning breakfast. Excellent coffee, two types of eggs, sausage and bacon, 3 types of cereals, fresh waffles, fresh fruits, and nuts. Hotel was very clean. however, the rooms were shabby: cracked floors, noisy exhaust, noisy A/C, and cramped counter space and tables. Overall poor, but at least we squeezed in a room on super busy graduation weekend. read more

A clean convenient fairly priced hotel. I've travel to many Marriott brands. Sometimes you want to go higher end such as Westin, etc and sometimes you want a no nonsense convenient hotel. The check in went smoothly and the room was clean. The breakfast was simple (eggs and a meat patty). Bread, waffles, bagels, yogurt, etc. Parking is convenient. read more

Disappointing from start to finish. The sink is in the middle of the bedroom, so if one person gets up early, everyone is getting up early. You are running a hairdryer next to the bed and need to turn on a light to even just use the sink - now everyone is awake. Snuck out of the room to grab a coffee downstairs. Nope. Out of coffee. I waited 30 minutes and still no coffee. Enjoy your non existent "free breakfast". The property is tired and worn, but that is to be expected perhaps due to a campus location. read more

Fairfield Inn Ann Arbor - Sink at the edge of the bed - Hotels Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

5 stars due to staff Arrived super late (like 1am) and Kim was incredibly helpful and welcoming. Next morning there was a few inches of snow and Xavier had a snow brush behind the desk (rental car had nothing) we could use Breakfast was good Room was clean read more

Fairfield Inn Ann Arbor - Warm weather person and the snow in the parking lot. It seemed worse than it looks! - Hotels Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

TLDR: it's a Fairfield Inn. It was quiet, tons of parking and clean. I had no major disappointments, the stay was uneventful- what else can you ask for in a Marriott off the side of the highway? - as of 11/15/22: I left my room at 9:00AM, came back at 7:00PM and they did not clean my room. I'm unsure if I have to request it, or they aren't doing them daily. Nearby walkable restaurants are Wendy's, Buffalo Wild Wings and Burger King. Note: Marriott Gold members-- they offer you a free soda or water on check-in. read more

What a terrible first night we have had here!! First thing first....i wanted a cup of coffee, I decided to make it in the room. When I opened the coffee machine to put the coffee filter, there was one already in there, with mold !!! Of course I went to call the front desk, and shockingly enough there were cockroaches by the night table. They offered us another room but why would anyone stay here after that ! Now we have to wait and call the general manager to ask for a refund ! DO NOT STAY HERE read more

This Fairfield Marriott in Ann Arbor is in an area where there are numerous hotel choices of similar quality. The hotel rooms and amenities are comfortable and very clean. However, what makes this hotel stand out above the others is the incredibly kind and responsive staff. We stayed here for 5 nights and every staff member made us feel like we were welcomed guests in their home. We want to give a special shout out to both Jacob and Xavier, who work at the front desk, for graciously accommodating a few of our special requests. We will definitely choose to stay here again when we return to Ann Arbor! read more

Stayed here for a night and it was A-OK. Nothing fancy, but the price was right. Staff was very friendly, and the complimentary breakfast was good. We happened to stay around when a high school baseball team or something was also in town, so there were a lot of teenagers to run into. One weird thing was that my SO thought he heard a gunshot late in the night...?? That seems highly unusual for Ann Arbor, could have been the train though. read more

A-Okay! Those high quality photos are pretty accurate of what the hotel looks like as everything does seem relatively brand new. The staff here is nice and friendly and they have a decent breakfast provided in the lobby every morning. Rooms have all the amenities you'll need. Nice that they have a mini fridge and microwave in room in case you have dinner leftovers you wanna munch on later in the night. Rooms are clean! Free wifi which is actually decent speed to get work done. Now for the negatives... -If you're a light sleeper ask to get shacked up on a room away from the train tracks. Or be prepared to be woken up every morning at 4:55am -Pool out of order when I visited. Bummer, packed my swim shorts for nothin'. -Toilet flushes too slow... so use caution when unloading if ya know what I mean -Weird smell coming from the sink anytime water goes down it. Weird. -Tiny gym. Two treadmills, elliptical, and 5 sets of weights. PUT IN WERK. NOT. -Walls are thin so you can hear conversations sometimes -Confusing to find hotel if it's your first time visiting as the signs aren't very clear from the main road Other than that, overall decent experience. Comfy beds and I slept well every night. Seems to cater mainly to people on business such as myself. 'Til next time, cheers! read more

Very friendly check in. The facility is maintained very well. Quiet even though there is a railroad right there. Good representation of the brand. read more

Just spent the night here last Friday for a wedding in town. Wonderful customer service the entire stay, especially at check in. Super fast and friendly, even offered us complimentary water or pop ivy cold, all decked out in U of M coolers! I will say that if you are a Michigan state fan, this might not be the hotel for you lol The room was clean and comfortable. Complimentary breakfasts too. Plenty of places to eat nearby as well as shopping. read more

The heating in my rental condo died for the third time this winter. Had to find somewhere in a hurry and then extend day by day (eventually 5 days in all). Breakfast was decent, price reasonable, exercise room very small (but never saw anyone else there). Staff was super friendly and helpful. To be honest rooms need an upgrade - but apparently that is coming later this year. read more

5 stars of Lenard. He is a child of my dad. No bedbugs which was nice. Honestly though I would put up with bedbugs for Lenard, really love him! read more

My husband and I stayed here for a week when our son was in the hospital. We were very impressed UNTIL we had an issue with checkout and had to deal with a very surly and condescending front desk supervisor named Felicia. She is the same supervisor who berated an employee in the breakfast area one morning in front of customers. I felt so embarrassed for the employee after the supervisor left that I wanted to apologize to her. I will not stay here again nor refer people here because if you have any problems, good luck getting them resolved. The front line employees were great, but all their good will was undone by someone in management who shouldn't be allowed to interact with customers. read more

Hotel looks like it had been recently renovated and everything looks new and fresh. They have a very nice breakfast spread and coffee station (free!) that was super packed on a Saturday morning, but the staff kept it stocked and clean. The gym is just 3 cardio pieces and a rack of dumbells, so dont get excited, but it still works so no excuses! My room was very nice with a king bed and enough space to set up the brand new pack n play crib for baby that they provided. This is by no means a luxury hotel, but your dollar goes far here. They also fo govt rates, can beat $75 a night! read more

Stayed on business, would have looked for a different hotel if I was here on pleasure or if the work day hadn't already been 15 hours long! Room was too gross to take a shower in. Tub had jets but they were all rusted and didn't work. Walls were so thin I could hear 2 TVs from other rooms and the alarm clock in the next room woke me up. The front desk staff was nice but for the outrageous prices you can easily find something better. read more

Initial Remarks - Great for a short road trip stay. Price was fantastic for the provided amenities and room comfort. [Out of 5] Location: 4 - Close to UofMI + Safe Area + Close to Shopping - Great for vehicular travelers Front Desk Service: 5 - Greeted with a smile + able to check in after arriving 2 hours early Room Cleanliness: 4 - Room beautifully kept with minor expected scratches to furnishings Room Decor: 4 - Beautiful faux wood/nature design with standard furnishings Room Utility: 3 - Typical usability except for finding the bathroom sink outside of the bathroom and next to the TV in the living space (also missing a soap dish, so had to leave soap on the sink top after washing hands...) Amenities: 4 - Room included refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and breakfast provided read more

There are many motel/hotel type places in this area. Avoid the Fairfield Inn. Front desk staff is rude (and young and inexperienced and unprofessional) & rooms are creepy. Sinks are in the bedroom. Unless I'm staying at a family-run rooming house in Sevilla, I can't abide a sink in the bedroom. For one thing, it ensures that no one ever washes their hands before leaving the bathroom. Gross. The Courtyard Marriott is a much better choice in the same price range. read more

Great price for two nights. And they were very helpful about a little reservation screw up. Pros -Good pool hours. We have a child and sometimes hotels make you wait until 9 or 10 to get in the pool. Sometimes we are long gone by then. Plus the pool is quite large for this kind of hotel. -Very nice continental breakfast included. -Clean place -Extremely nice and friendly staff. Cons -Rooms are pretty small. But that is more a problem because we bring so much stuff with us when we travel. read more

All Rooms have been updated and renovated as of January. Has a nice feel and look. Full hot breakfast included.

Not sure why Fairfield Inn just can't get right. I had a long storied history with the Fairfield Inn and I don't know why I continue to give it a try. Another failed attempted to get decent service from this hotel chain. Glad that AirBnB exists. read more

Place needs to be updated. Looks old and worn. Lobby computer doesn't work. Rooms are small and very cramped. Ours had the bathroom sink in the bedroom area. No outlets for electronics. One nightstand. The bed (a queen size, I reserved a king) was shot. My partner and I were force rolled to the center groove. The only ventilation in the room comes from the window mounted heater/ac. Sounds like a car warming up in your room. Always either too hot or too cold. Now we were here during graduation week for U Of M but, I made my reservations in December (prepaid) for 2 rooms. I am certain that both rooms were amongst the worst in the hotel. What this says is the management just doesn't care about their guests. I asked repeatedly about our reserved rooms and got blank smiling stares in return. Friends are at the sheriton across the street and say the difference is night and day. I am a lifetime Marriott user. I will never stay here again. Try the Courtyard next door. jsr read more

Have stayed here multiple times for visits of UM for various events, games, etc. Perfect spot for for UM visits. Great staff, very friendly, often with lots of perks on football game days - from pizzas and hot cocoa bars to shuttles to/from the game. Hotel is clean and typical of Fairfield Inns, but well kept and very friendly, helpful staff. read more

Pleasantly surprised by this one! The front desk staff was the most pleasant I've interacted with, there was free coffee and tea at all hours, the room was clean and the wifi worked well. read more

Stayed two weekend nights and had a completely uneventful stay -- which is all you can ask for in a hotel, right? The continental breakfast spread was fantastic. I opted for a make-your-own waffle. My room was clean and maid service did a great job. read more

We just stayed for one night. Room was very small, but clean and functional. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was very good, they had jimmy dean's sausage sandwiches! read more

Sucks! I know that they are under renovation and they are sorry for the inconvenience. But that is not an excuse not to have coffee, water or juice in the breakfast area. Imagine eating your bread and butter and choking to death because there is no beverage around. The excuse was because they are under construction but does it mean that the coffee machine and water dispenser are under construction too? The lady in the front pointed me at a vending machine and said i can buy my drinks there. Ridiculous!!!! Even though breakfast in these kind of hotels suck because there is not really much of a selection. Still, a warm coffee or cold drinks can get you through. Never gonna go back there again. There are so many hotels to choose within the vicinity. Pick any one of them but this. read more

This place is just okay, pretty standard. The staff was very nice and check in is easy. A little outdated. Shower was a little gross due to old tile. But other than that the place is decent. Continental breakfast was standard. If you need a okay place to stay for a low cost, I'd come here. read more

Stayed here for a college visit. Staff was very helpful and friendly despite our late arrival. The room was large and clean and comfortable in every way. The breakfast was WONDERFUL and the price was excellent. I highly recommend this place. It was toward the backside of an industrial park across from a large mall and a very easy and short drive into U-M. read more

Easy enough to get to U-M. Generally friendly staff and clean, habitable quarters, though the rooms are tiny. Beware -- there are no cots, despite what the reservations website says! The front-desk staff says this has something to do with the fire code. The other Marriott property next door also has no cots. read more

Remodeled looks good Although they kept allot of old furniture Staff is awesome Slowest internet of any marriott I ace stayed at- affected my work Never staying at Fairfield again Ever read more

Wonderful stay. Clean, no problems whatsoever. Every staff member, from Carlos and the front desk group to Ann and the housekeeping crew were not only welcoming and friendly but went above and beyond every day. This was a very stressful trip for us, and normally we would stay with family or friends but this particular trip we were unable to do that. Even my choosy, picky sister had only great things to say about this hotel and staff. I hope that Marriott knows what a great staff they have here. We really appreciated them. read more

Lobby smelled strongly of cigarette smoke upon walking in. Loud patrons made it hard to fall asleep- it feels like "that" kind of hotel. There was loose hair in the bathroom. Towels are scratchy. Pieces fell off the hair dryer. Show head was loose. NOT ENOUGH HOT WATER at 6:30 AM on a Saturday. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Front desk was professional and accommodating. read more

The pool was filthy and freezing, which was very unfortunate, however I have nothing but wonderful things to stay about the entire staff. Everyone who works at the Fairfield was so nice, polite and helpful, from the Reception Desk to the cleaning staff. Our rooms were very nice, and quite clean. I would definitely stay here again, simply because of the nice way we were treated. read more
