But after sitting in the lobby for about 30 minutes, I was given an upgraded room. I'm not sure if this was because of my Titanium status or because of the wait. The prices are reasonable here. The parking lot was a good size, and the location was close to the outlets but not too far away from downtown either. It is also near I-95 and Route 301. I was provided a Welcome Bag with a bottle of water and some Chex Mix. My room was on the third floor, near the elevators. I wish there were more soundproofing, but the room was clean and provided an area for me to wind down. Extra pillows, sheets and blankets were provided. The cable channels were numerous this visit, and the WIFI was fast and reliable. I liked that there was natural light during the day and enough lighting at night. The mattresses are near the end of their life, as I could still feel the springs. Breakfast could use a few more offerings, and the tables could be cleaned in between guests.

I stayed at the Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Smithfield Selma in Selma, North Carolina, from…read moreFriday, August 21, 2026, through Sunday, August 23, 2026. I am a Marriott member and have points and an established loyalty account with Marriott, so I am familiar with the brand and generally know what level of accommodation to expect. This was my first stay at this particular location. I want to give credit where credit is due because my experience with the staff was completely different from my experience with the condition of the hotel itself. First, I want to recognize Kadance from housekeeping. She was such a sweet and hardworking young lady, and my room was clean. Housekeeping absolutely did their job. I also want to recognize the lady who handled breakfast. She was wonderful, sweet, hospitable, and hardworking. The breakfast was basic hotel food with things like eggs, waffles, cereal, and other standard options, but it was actually decent, and the sausage was especially good. She worked hard to keep the breakfast area clean, and after guests finished eating, the area was spotless. I also want to give credit to the front desk employee who was working the night I had to switch rooms. Unfortunately, I did not get her name, but she was very patient, sweet, and understanding. I believe she was also there the following morning when I checked out. She handled the situation professionally and made the room change much easier. I honestly did not have a negative interaction with any member of the staff during my stay. Management was nice as well. The people working at this hotel were wonderful. That is why I want to be very clear that my issues are with the condition of the property itself, not the employees. My original room was 426. I encountered small winged insects in the room that appeared to be termites. I did a Google photo match because I wanted to identify what they were. There were trees directly outside the room, so I understand that pests can sometimes be an issue, but I was uncomfortable and requested a room change. I was moved to Room 429. I do not blame housekeeping for the pest issue. In Room 426, I also noticed what appeared to be mold or mildew on the ceiling directly above the bed. I cannot say with certainty which one it was because I did not have it professionally tested, but there were visible spots across the ceiling and the discoloration was very noticeable. It looked as though someone may have sprayed or treated the spots in an attempt to make them fade, but they were still clearly visible. Seeing that directly above the bed was extremely unsettling and added to my concerns about the condition of the room. My biggest complaint is that the hotel itself feels severely outdated and badly in need of renovation. Once you get upstairs onto the floors with carpeting, there is a noticeable musty smell. The carpeting smells musty, and the overall atmosphere feels old and stale. The rooms may be cleaned, and the air conditioning worked well, but there is only so much cleaning can do when the actual property is worn down. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and felt old and worn out. I could feel the springs, and the mattress and box spring desperately need to be replaced. The bathroom was also badly outdated. The old wallpaper needs to go. It collects every little splash, speck, and piece of debris, and the entire bathroom needs a complete renovation. The paintwork also looked poorly maintained and in need of attention. Even the furniture was worn down. The wooden stand holding the refrigerator and microwave was chipped and damaged. Everywhere I looked, something seemed old, chipped, worn, or outdated. I will say again that my room was vacuumed very well and housekeeping kept it clean. I personally just did not feel comfortable putting my belongings on the floor because of the overall condition of the room. Even my shoes stayed off the floor. That is not a reflection of housekeeping. Kadance did her job. The front desk was made aware of the issues, and accommodations were made, which I appreciate. The staff was patient, understanding, and professional throughout my stay. But unfortunately, great employees can only do so much. This hotel needs serious investment. The carpets need to be replaced or removed. The bathrooms need a complete overhaul. The beds and box springs need to be replaced. The worn and chipped furniture needs to be replaced. It is disappointing because the staff were genuinely wonderful. Housekeeping deserves 5 stars. The breakfast staff deserves 5 stars. The front desk employee who helped me switch rooms was patient, sweet, and understanding. Management was nice as well. I truly have no complaints about the people.

If we could give negative stars for the service provided, we would, because one star glorifies this experience. When we enlisted another couple to "shop" them who are from North Carolina, they magically had availability for seasonal RV stays after stating they had no openings to allow us to move. Liar, liar pants on fire. Due to asking for minor assistance for grading and a light replacement and/or relocating to the one of 26 dry and graded sites, they retaliated by enacting some vague clause in their rental agreement they can terminate our agreement for "any and/or no reason" for short terms stay renters. Upon their 2nd rebuttal to the DOJ, Wanda from management said she wasn't made aware of my injury until the 2nd email. Wanda lied to the DOJ saying I was yelling but when you're in adrenal crisis, it's really impossible to move or talk very well because of the seriousness of the medical emergency. We asked for simple help and they retaliated by forcing us to leave after paying rent. They don't allow refunds. You're just stuck. After correspondence back and forth with Wanda, Wanda she said if you don't like it, "You can just leave." They'll just keep our money. After 14 hours in the ER, I was injured during the flooding slipping in the clay/ mud in my hunting boots here, which is filled with residual algae and stagnant water that smells awful to be so specific - it smells like swamp during heavy rains. I have an adrenal deficiency disorder telling them I'm on disability with my police dept and at any time could go into an adrenal crisis resulting in death within minutes. We are not allowed to extend our carpet beyond the rocks, so the clay/ mud is slimy and transfers onto the outdoor carpet, steps and inside of RV. After paying the rent, I emailed the photos of the flooding from multiple floods and days and asked very kindly for help. "JJ" with maintenance arrived and pounded on the RV door super angry yelled, "We will NOT be moving you!" I could hardly find the energy to talk because of adrenal crisis and told him I was in bed all day sick and to talk to my husband after front loading Kelly that I can't meet with maintenance because I was bedridden since returning from the beach. He continues to yell at me through the windows. I needed an ambulance in adrenal crisis. Then my husband received a confrontational email from management Wanda indicating upon her husband's, JJ's, inspection, the smell was from our sewer lines on the opposite side of the flooding on the ground and full but JJ lied because they had just been hooked up and empty upon returning from the beach during a torrential downpour. We emptied our tanks at that RV beach site. He never crawled under the slide out to pick up the empty hose to check it because I have two surveillance cameras on our RV. No phantom smell can emit from an empty hose plus they're Rhino brand. Anyways, you empty black water 1st then gray water so no sewage sits in the lines. JJ is no investigator, he's maintenance. We close off the lines when not in use. Stay in your lane, bro. As of 11/4/25, JJ was grading site 613 then smugly waved while our site is under water knowing I'm injured and refusing to help a disabled 1st responder trying to goad us into an argument - doesn't work because I deal with his kind on high priority police calls. Kelly had 3 instances of confrontations and poor customer service. The 1st notable when we were arriving from out-of-state, saying we must be here by 4 pm or don't come at all and it was in our welcome email after driving 14 hrs. They take pride in their social hours so the elbow disease seemingly runs strong in this "family" group of Hills Have Eyes angry folks. Good luck.

The dog park is well kept, not the largest, but enough to get the K9 wiggles out. The bathroom/Showers are clean and warm. The small town has many amenities, within a 5 minute drive you will find a country store, a pharmacy, Dollar General, and an IGA grocery store. Within 10 minutes there is a Premium Outlets, which has almost every name brand you can think of. I passed 4 other RV "Resorts" driving around and this place is by far the nicest. I did recommend to friend who will be staying for a longer period of time and will continue to recommend to fellow travelers. For being right off 95, this is a great stop.
