I was hesitant to stay at the Fairfield again but I took a chance. Check in was better and I was…read moreupgraded to a Suite and put on the top floor. I really liked my room and the layout of the suite made more sense than others I've stayed as the bed was in the middle of the room and the couch and desk near the window. This suite design had both overhead lights and multiple lamps. Then with the relaxing area being near the window there is the sunlight too. I even got to watch the sunrise from the window. The cable lineup was on the smaller side with just a handful of stations but did have the stations for the games. Hallway noise was a bit of an issue with doors slamming frequently and conversations. So more soundproofing would be nice. Breakfast was to start at 7am and the breakfast seating is a large area. There were at least two large groups here during my stay and already at breakfast at 7am. The food was better the first day as the second day the oatmeal was cold not even luke warm. So I don't think the warmer was plugged in. It was hot the first day. The toppings were in a different section. The breakfast area isn't organized the best either. But there are waffle makers; biscuits; omelets that were rubbery; scrambled eggs; bacon and potatoes. There were pastries; bagels and bread for toast. I think I should have grabbed that instead. I stopped at Bojangles on the drive home. I'd stay here again but skip the breakfast.

I would have given this location 4-5 stars if it weren't for a few things. We booked for just an…read moreovernight stay and so glad that's all it was. Check in went smooth, quick, and the desk clerk was very pleasant. There was a stand up poster in the lobby for a golf tournament and when I asked about it I was told it was a caddy shack related tournament. Well that's interesting! They also have free cookies available, but get em fast cos they go quick! Our room was on the first floor and that would come back to haunt us later as those golfers were partiers and had setup a full bar for themselves that evening at a table in the dining area, which is near the front desk. They had assorted hard liquors they brought with them to make drinks and needless to say they got very loud. The room itself was spacious, very clean, and the carpet looked new. The TV is nice and big. The curtains did a good job of blocking out light. The bed tho was not very comfortable at all so I did not have a good night's sleep. The frig is small and does not have a freezer compartment. My eyes and nose got very irritated from what I discovered was a plug in deodorizer that had a very strong scent so I unplugged it. The toilet is low so if your knees are not in great shape it could be an issue. Unfortunately I'm finding even in most hotel chains the handicapped rooms still have a low toilet! The shower door didn't want to stay closed, plus water leaked on the outside. With the exception of bar soap, the other toiletries are mounted on the wall in the shower, but are pleasant smelling. There is no hand lotion. The breakfast seating area is large, but there was only one attendant who looked stressed and was kind of cranky when I asked for some forks to be replenished as there were none, not to mention several of the hot bar items were wiped out. An employee with full trash bags on a cart for some reason walked by all the receptacles that were filled to the brim with trash in the dining room. To say the hot food on the free breakfast is not very good is an understatement. The "fried" potatoes are coated in a seasoning salt and were kinda hard and the scrambled eggs are microwaved in a pre-sealed plastic bag and are a bit funky. The bacon tastes fake, yet is extremely greasy. The turkey patties looked too horrible to even try. The waffles are ok just have your batter ready as soon as you prespray the iron or it'll get stuck. The syrup is in a dispenser and none avail that is low sugar. No fresh fruit that I saw either. Lots of carbs like assorted breads and bagels to toast. Oats, grits, yogurt, and hard boiled eggs. I could be missing some things, but all in all if it'll pass for your kids, ok, but if you're just two traveling adults you might seek out breakfast somewhere in town. If this is an example of what Fairfield Inn offers, I think we'll pass on this chain in our travels.

I'll start by saying the property is beautiful. Other than that, IVY Hall has 2 of the most…read moreincompetent and unprofessional owners that lack basic problem solving and communication skills. I'll add they are boastfully inconsiderate. They absolutely ruined my husband's best-friend's wedding day. I'm submitting this review to caution anyone who is interested in booking the property for an event, to stay far away from this place. I attended a wedding here Saturday March 1st, 2025. By the time the ceremony started, the wedding hostesses were visibly exhausted. I asked why and they shared the owner walking around in Alpha Kappa Alpha paraphernalia was very rude and was not permitting them to be in necessary areas like the kitchen, because she was showing the property to potential clients. I've never seen a venue conduct tours during buyout hours. She was also not answering simple questions to help guide logistics. What was supposed to be a pretty easy job was made difficult by the venue owners (a wife and husband). It's common courtesy for venue staff to either dress in theme color(s) or branded attire for formal events. Her husband had on a dingy black sweatsuit. I thought he was a landscaper. After the ceremony concluded, during cocktail hour, the owners assumed guests were sneaking in alcohol. The alcohol they saw was a cigar and whiskey paring that was set up in the cocktail hour area. If there was an issue, there's professional way to address the wedding coordinator to have it removed. Instead the owners decided to drive around in a golf cart inspecting guests drinks. The cigar and whiskey parings were never removed from the cocktail hour area. Next, we'll move on to the sheriff being called twice. My husband and I spoke to the sheriff who works the area and confirmed the couple that owns the property calls the police often. To sum things up, a gentleman who was part of the wedding coordinator team didn't understand why the owners were being so difficult and he asked what was the root cause of the issue. He asked in an inquisitive manner to seek resolution and was non-confrontational. The owners didn't appreciate being questioned and proceeded to call the sheriffs to get him escorted out for "trespassing". Yes, an employee of the wedding coordinator team, the man who brought the bride to walk down the aisle was escorted out for trespassing along with the husband of the owner of the wedding coordination team. There were many other issues that I'll spare but the evening ended with the owner (wife) kicking the bride, groom, hostesses and us guests out, while we were breaking down supplies. One of the hostesses she had been absolutely ugly to all day finally told her about herself. It started with the owner asking about a standard black tablecloth at 8:45pm that was used during the 3pm ceremony. Because she couldn't answer to where it was almost immediately, she and her husband proceeded to throw decorations out of the reception hall damaging them and made everyone get out. It was an odd question considering the venue was booked until 11pm. I would have expected the owner to alert those cleaning up that a tablecloth was missing and if not found by the end time, the couple would be billed for it. Pretty standard protocol with venue rentals. Lastly, we learned this couple insisted their last payment for the venue be in cash and made a joke saying "because it's untraceable". As of the time the sheriffs arrived after the owners kicked us out, they had not provided an itemized receipt to the wedding couple for what the final payment was for. The amount was just under $13k. When asked, the woman owner said she had it in her papers somewhere and she would email it. The payment was provided 3 weeks prior. STAY FAR FAR AWAY!

From the moment my wife and I arrived at Ivy Hall, we were struck by the beauty of the venue…read more However, that impression quickly turned into disappointment as we became aware of the distressing experiences faced by the bride, her coordinators, and the wedding party. This was a wedding attended by Mayors, doctors, lawyers, social media influencers, you name it, they were there. The hostesses, who are personal friends of mine, immediately informed me that the owners had been rude and uncooperative throughout the morning. Upon further inquiry, I learned that the mistreatment had begun the day before at the rehearsal, to the extent that the bride even considered canceling her wedding--an option she could not pursue due to the substantial cash payment of nearly $13,000 she had already made. Shockingly, she was not provided with a receipt for over three weeks, and not until police intervention was, she even provided with a picture of a receipt. Additionally, I find it highly concerning that the owner allegedly stated, "Cash is untraceable" and requested payment exclusively through cash or Cash App. This raises serious ethical and legal concerns regarding business practices and financial transparency. On the wedding day, the situation deteriorated further when the wedding party was denied access to areas of the venue that had been previously promised for their use. When one of the wedding coordinators attempted to seek clarification and ensure the bride had the best experience possible, the owners escalated the situation by calling the sheriff. Although the officers handled the situation professionally and without unnecessary disruption, it remains unclear why such extreme measures were taken. As a result, two coordinators were escorted off the property, creating difficulties for the clean-up crew. Following the reception, the female owner abruptly entered the venue and aggressively demanded to know the whereabouts of a black tablecloth. When one of the hostesses addressed her disrespectful attitude, the owners responded by demanding that everyone leave immediately. The bride, her wedding party and staff, remaining guests who stayed to help clean, were all forced to vacate the venue, and the remaining items could not be retrieved until the following day. Disturbingly, the owners and their daughter were heard shouting profanities at those present, further highlighting their blatant disregard for professionalism and customer service. This entire experience was appalling and completely unacceptable for a venue that claims to specialize in hosting one of the most important days of a couple's life. The actions of Ivy Hall's owners not only disrupted a special occasion but also demonstrated a shocking lack of professionalism, integrity, and basic hospitality. Furthermore, given the concerns regarding financial transactions and the lack of proper documentation, it may be necessary for regulatory authorities to review Ivy Hall's operations. For anyone considering Ivy Hall as their wedding venue, I strongly advise against it. No couple should have to endure the level of stress, disrespect, and disorganization that my friends faced on their wedding day. A venue should be a place of joy and celebration, not hostility and chaos. I could elaborate further on the numerous issues that arose at Ivy Hall that day, but I will conclude by stating this: If you are seeking a venue that lacks professionalism, treats its clients and their guests with disrespect, and operates with questionable business practices, then Ivy Hall is the place for you. However, if you want your special day to be marked by professionalism, hospitality, and cherished memories, I strongly advise you to look elsewhere--because Ivy Hall is not the venue that will provide that experience.

Let me first start off by saying that the venue gives all the feels. It is absolutely…read morebreathtakingly beautiful. That will be the only reason why I am giving this 2 stars. The process has been a nightmare. From the time we first view the venue, the owner was overly pushy and overbearing with her opinions. We gave her our wedding date and she wrote it in pencil on her calendar... supposedly. Of course, nothing is official until you put down your deposit. We paid our deposit and per the agreement, the remaining balance was due 1 month prior to the event. She called me time and time again giving me high anxiety. My wedding date was June 20, 2026, which meant the balance wasn't due until May 20, 2026. She called me at least 3 or 4 times before Christmas. She called with the same story "Hey you're wedding date is June 26 right?" Knowing it wasn't. I kept telling her, "No, its June 20th. When I paid the deposit, we both pointed out it wasn't due until May 20th." After Christmas, she called maybe 5 or more times with the same thing, giving me anxiety and making me feel that there were other people looking at the venue for my date. The deposit was supposed to hold our spot. We paid the deposit by the date. 3 days before our event, she told us to bring our wine and beer to cool in the cooler. She later called and asked for us to put the stuff on the bar. My husband put it in the cooler, to make it one less thing anyone had to do. The following morning while running errands, she calls my phone screaming in my ear that she told us to put the beer and wine on the bar and that now she has to unload it and load it again. That was not what I was hoping to hear but it is what it is. We kept it moving. We were told we could use our own bartenders but she later said we had to use hers and it was an additional $400 we hadn't expected to pay. Fast-forward to our wedding rehearsal day. We had to rent more chairs and the company delivering the chairs said they would deliver between 11 AM - 12 PM. She called me during my nail appointment to complain that she hadn't heard from the chair rental company... It was only 11:07 AM and it was raining. She then decided to start texting me, all while knowing I'm running around trying to get last minute things done. Again, I shook it off. I had several people in our wedding party including our decorator coming from out of state. They had all let me know that they were running behind due to traffic. She owner kept making little smart comments and turned off the fans while we were setting up the venue. She then said she was going to go ahead home because it was after 9 PM. Keep in mind, we have the venue from 12 PM day before and after the event. She popped back up at the rehearsal and continued to make comments about "You have a mess on your hands." Every time I looked up, she was either watching us like a hawk or riding around in her golf cart. Going back to the agreement, it was my understanding that we also had the Carriage House as part of the package. Since I live in Greenville, it would only make sense to stay the night at the Carriage House. So I had already talked with her about. She tells me the day of that I cannot stay in there until my wedding night. I didn't let that bother me, I just kept it moving and one of my bridesmaids got me a hotel in Greenville. The day of the wedding, she was very nice and welcoming. Texted and asked her where the box was that the cake came in... her text "Tossed it. Sorry." She eventually told me the next day where it was, it had been sitting with flies all over the box... The day after the wedding, we decided to run up the road around 9 AM to grab breakfast from a local restaurant in town. She texted me at 9:35, "I have guests coming in today. About what time will you be out?" She then called and said "Check out is at 11." We put our food up and went back to get our things. We also went ahead and cleaned up the venue so that we could be done with the stress once and for all. Now, her staff, especially her granddaughters were very friendly and welcoming. My daughter later told me that the night of the rehearsal, the owner kept saying to my wedding party and decorators, "Y'all need to go home." Hearing this after the fact was surely a blessing in disguise. I wouldn't recommend this location simply because of the way we were handled.

As the saying goes, "A person may not remember what you said, but they will always remember how you…read moremade them feel." Our experience with using this beautiful facility was uneasy and frustrating. From the treatment by Ms. Mary Beth from when myself and other guests first arrived on the property, to the constant pop-ups and discussions during the event, to the unexpected rental rate increase at the end of the event.... it was unsettling to say the least. What should have been a beautiful and enjoyable evening, ultimately ended in a frustrating back and forth debate regarding undocumented payment increases, and inappropriate conversations with guests and the client's hired contractors, and unwarranted actions displayed by Ms. Mary Beth. Sadly, at the end evening, I informed Ms. Mary Beth of how dissatisfied I was with her behavior. Unfortunately, she didn't understand how myself and others in the party could have been so upset. In her eyes she felt she was only helping. Those who live in and around this area may be accustomed to the climate of the area, thus they may not have been as affected by the behavior displayed. However, those who don't understand the culture (which were quite a few guests), or who are no longer privy to the southern norms, will quickly pick up on what's going on. It was clear that Ms. Mary Beth was uncomfortable with our presence. I can't tell you what to do, but I will tell you to proceed with caution if you desire to rent this venue.
