Staying at this hotel was like having a bit of home in the bustling city! The rooms were decent, offering a great view from the top floor, although the noise from the AC unit outside was a bit bothersome. The location was perfect for exploring midtown and beyond, with easy access to transportation and nearby attractions. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff members across various departments, although there was a minor hiccup in finding my reservation. Dining options were satisfactory, with convenient nearby spots for breakfast. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.

This hotel is ideal for a stay in Manhattan! The rooms are clean and comfortable, embodying what you'd expect in a regular Marriott establishment. While slightly compact, they provide a cozy setting for a good night's sleep. The service was mixed, with some hiccups in locating reservations but salvaged by the lovely and helpful staff members. The location is perfect for exploring top attractions like Times Square and 5th Avenue, offering a mix of bustling city life and peaceful surroundings. Dining options were standard with a range of fresh pasta, but prices were a bit on the expensive side. Overall, the facilities were adequate, catering to essential needs with room for improvement.

The hotel is in a prime location, making it easy to get around and close to major attractions like Grand Central and Central Park. The room, though small, was modern and larger than expected, perfect for our NYC package deal with Expedia. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond, especially due to the hotel's relationship with Trafalgar. The dining, although a bit tasteless, had excellent service. Overall, a well-located hotel with modern rooms and outstanding service.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were nice-sized for the area, but unfortunately, there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke in my room. The service, though accommodating, lacked clarity at check-in. The location was excellent, with plenty of entertainment options nearby, but the presence of construction workers was a bit bothersome. The dining options were limited, but I found some great nearby breakfast places. The facilities were adequate, and overall, the value for money was acceptable.

I checked into a room with a city view which unfortunately ended up being a corner room right next to noisy neighbors. The layout was a bit awkward with the door entry at the extreme left side where the bed is, giving off a vibe more similar to a $60 motel room.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were large by NYC standards and had all the amenities you would need, but cleanliness was an issue with a faint smell like a wet dog or dirty mop in the bathroom. The service from the staff was exceptional, with everyone being incredibly kind, helpful, and understanding. The location was perfect for exploring key areas like Times Square and Central Park, but the need for updates was noticeable, especially with elevator issues. Dining options were average at best, with standard breakfast offerings and nothing particularly memorable. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives during my stay.

The hotel at Fairfield in Cambridge, Ohio, offers comfortable rooms, despite their unattractive appearance resembling a crime scene from CSI.

The hotel offers quiet and the perfect size rooms for one or two people, but they need complete renovation.

The hotel had a rush clean, but the room was a little cold and could be more luxurious for the price. The Marriott status usually upgrades us to higher floors, which was missed this time. The service was unsatisfactory, with rude behavior and denial of access. The location is its main upside, close to major NYC landmarks and subway access. The dining options were overpriced and limited, catering mostly to tourists. However, the hotel provides easy access to various places in the city.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and had two double beds and a sofa bed in a separate area, which was nice. However, the decor was outdated and looked like it belonged in an episode of CSI, all taped up. Booking through Expedia as part of a package deal was convenient, and the accumulation of free NYC attraction tickets with the room was a bonus.
