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.

Lamps don't even have LIGHT BULBS! Front desk staff is RUDE JENNY to be specific along with MANAGEMENT and they're terrible LIARS! We stayed here 1 night and had to deal with ALL of these things which was very unfortunate! I called front desk immediately that night when we seen the roach crawling on our nightstand and was told she wrote down my information to give to the "owner" for me to get a refund but she DIDNT want to switch my room since we were checking out the very next morning. I stopped to the front desk to speak with the "owner" during checkout and was told he was "busy" he would give me a call before he left I NEVER got a call that day! I called the next day asked to speak with him and was told he wasn't in that day he'd be in the following day at 10AM. I called that following day at 10AM and was told he wouldn't be in until 12PM I immediately started expressing my concern with the lies I was dealing with and told her I would call back at 12PM she proceeded to say "wellll I'm not sure if he'll be here right at 12" so I said "WELL ILL CALL IN BETWEEN 12 & 1"! All of a sudden she wanted to ask questions about what happened with my stay when everything should've already been DOCUMENTED! I called back a little after 12 and still couldn't speak with him. Ended up getting a call from the owner just for us both to say HELLO and he hung up immediately just to SAY he called! I called back IMMEDIATELY when he hung up just for him to answer say hello and run to the front desk put me on MUTE and give Jenny the phone to LIE and say he wasn't there and to tell me the OWNER doesn't do refunds I would have to go through my third party I booked with! THEN she proceeded to LIE and say he called me previously that day but I didn't answer! I had my phone ALL day that day NEVER got a call from him so that was another lie! I called Expedia started the process and they called the hotel for JENNY to get on the phone and LIE LIE LIE! She told them we checked out a HOUR late when that was a LIE checkout is at 12PM checked out at 11:58AM! We IMMEDIATELY got breakfast right up the road when we left and I have the bank statements to PROVE IT! If we checked out late I would've been CHARGED! She also LIED and said I REFUSED to switch rooms that night I called and made the complaint! Who the fck wants to sleep with BUGS why wouldn't I want to switch rooms! I got NO rest in that hotel and I'm PREGNANT if only we were closer to home I would've LEFT IMMEDIATELY!

I booked this motel because my fiancé had an eye appointment and needed injections due to…read morecomplications from diabetes. I wanted a comfortable and stress-free place for him to recover, but unfortunately, our experience was anything but that. When we arrived, we discovered that the sink in our room was completely clogged and would not drain. After my fiancé had already undergone shots in his eyes, we were forced to pack up all of our belongings and move rooms at nearly midnight. Unfortunately, the problems didn't stop there. The employee who moved us to the second room had apparently not checked it properly because, once we got settled in, we discovered that the refrigerator did not work. This was a serious issue because my fiancé's Lantus insulin needed to be refrigerated. We were forced to keep it in a cooler, and all of the ice eventually melted. We still don't know whether the medication was compromised or not, which is extremely concerning given its importance to his health. The one bright spot in this entire experience was a night-shift employee named Kahn. She was kind, compassionate, and genuinely tried to help us. She was the only positive part of our stay, and I greatly appreciate her efforts. To make matters worse, the manager (MR. PATEL) assured us that we would receive at least a 20% discount for all the inconvenience and issues we experienced. However, when the bill was finalized, we received only a 10% discount. I have stayed at other Comfort Inn locations and have always had positive experiences, which makes this stay even more disappointing. Between the maintenance issues, the disruption after a medical procedure, and the concerns over essential medication storage, this was one of the most frustrating hotel experiences I have ever had. I would strongly recommend that travelers choose another property. Save yourself the frustration and stay elsewhere! Side note: If I could post photos here, I absolutely would. If privacy is important to you, this is not the place to stay. The curtains were so thin that you could easily see both inside and outside the room. On the bright side, I suppose no one could accuse you of indecent exposure because everything was already on display! Also, be sure to bring flip-flops if you plan to shower. The bathtub was so dirty and grimy that I chose not to shower during my entire stay. The condition of the room truly made me appreciate being back home. To make matters worse, the refrigerator had mold inside it, and there were plugs covering the peepholes in the door. I have no idea why. Between the cleanliness issues, maintenance problems, and overall condition of the property, I was completely disgusted by the experience. I'm sure there are other issues I've forgotten to mention, but my recommendation is simple: pass on this one. There are far better places to spend your money.

We booked two adjoining rooms, one for my parents and one for me. We brought our luggage in and dropped everything off in my parent's room. We then left the room to go across the street to eat dinner. Upon entering my room for the first time, I went to turn on the light and noticed the lampshade had bodily fluids all over it. My dad had to fix the stopper in the sink because it wasn't connected. Our mattresses had giant stains all over them and our linens had hair on them. I then opened up the drawers and saw little bugs crawling around inside. As I was cleaning out the bug filled drawers I noticed a giant cockroach crawling up the wall!!! After I was done freaking out, I realized there is absolutely no quality control at this Comfort Inn. I immediately realized that I could not stay here. Some people say they count sheep while sleeping, the thought of me counting cockroaches was unfathomable. I would never book another stay here and hopefully you won't either.

One of the worst experiences in a hotel/motel I've ever had…read more After a long (12 hour) day of driving, and many great reviews, my sister and niece decided to stay here with my service dog. From the moment we pulled in the place was sketchy. It was 10 pm- and people were lurking around in groups, and there was LITERALLY a lone man watching as we pulled in and smoking a BONG. My German shepherd was on high alert right from the jump. Our room was horrid. Mold on the walls and curtains, yellow stains on the comforters, bugs on the floor... not to mention the brown smudges in RANDOM places. I'm not even kidding. When I called the front desk and asked for a different room- she said they were sold out (which I found incredibly hard to believe) So we were stuck, exhausted and completely grossed out. I slept with one eye open due to the constant yelling outside. Also went to sleep in my shower cap and pants tucked into my socks. At 3:00 am a car full of loud and rowdy people pulled in outside the room, walking back and forth in front of our room screaming and arguing. Normally I don't allow my dog to bark at people, but I gave her the okay because I felt unsafe. The noise went on until about 4:30 am, and I sat awake watching nervously as my family slept. Also- lock on door was broken- so you can imagine the angst I felt. The grass outside was overgrown and there was debris littering the area. I don't know if it was just the area of the hotel we were in, or people use this hotel for god knows what- but it was a horrible experience.

For the not-cheap price of $109.00 a night you get a clean safe place with a spotless shower. But the towels are so thin it will be hard to dry off. The breakfast is . . . lacking. My husband said his eggs "crackled" when he took them out of the pan and they were the yellow of a 1950s suburban kitchen. He was good with the sausages though I might argue his bar is pretty low. I was looking forward to the "fresh fruit" someone recommended. I passed on it however. See my photo "still life from the road." But this is--in my experience-- typical of the breakfast-included hotel circuit. Despite my complaints about breakfast, I recommend for a road stop if not for a fancy vacation.
