My visit to Fairfield in was.. Well let's just say sub par. I visited the Fairfield inn as part of an orientation for a job. As I waited in the parking lot with my 5 year old daughter in the back seat at 7:45 am a police cruiser pulled into the parking lot. I thought nothing of it because I wasn't engaged in any wrong doing. As the police got closer and closer to my vehicle I looked around and began to realize there were no other vehicles in the vecinity where I was parked. As this thought crossed my mind the two police officers exited their vehicle and began approaching my vehicle, hands on their weapons mind you. One officer approached on either side of my vehicle, the officer on the passenger side signaled for me to roll down the window. In which I complied as a law abiding citizen of this city and this country. As I rolled the window down, I noticed a white Ford suv with extremely dark tinted windows (Including the windshield) approach slowly. A man in plain clothes got out of the white suv and reached into his shirt and pulled out a badge. He failed to identify himself as law enforcement, Considering he had a shiny silver badge. He then approached the window of my vehicle asking what was in my book bag... As I had walked into the hotel a few minutes prior with a bookbag, which housed my lunch for the day, a notebook, and a writing utensil. He then proceeded to order me out of my vehicle and ask vulgure questions. He started with "how much dope is in the bookbag" with a look of extreme concern and nervousness on my face I said "excuse me" to which he began to ask me "Do you know the owner" to which I replied "of the hotel? No sir I don't" with an even more confused look on my face. He then continued to hassle me about my vehicle not having a front plate. Which is no longer required by Ohio law. He then turned around and entered his vehicle. I'm assuming because of the utter embarrassment he felt for his lack of intelligence and exited the parking lot. Moral of the story don't visit the Fairfield inn and definitely don't ever have a false sense of security from law enforcement, whether you are involved in criminal...
Read moreEnroute to a wedding outside of Chicago and coming from northeast PA, I reserved two nights at the Fairfield Inn & Suites Toledo North. It was my first time staying at a Fairlfield Inn. Never knowing what a "new" hotel is like, I was thrilled to note its comfort and cleanliness with friendly service from the receptionist to cleaning personnel in all aspects. The king size bed was firm, smoothly made, very clean and people friendly bathroom for the more senior residents as well, ample room and neatly spaced, accommodative toiletries. outlets are in easy to reach spaces to re-charge cellphones and laptops. The parking lot has surveillance cameras. The hotel is in a very quiet and neat area, close to a variety of restaurants and other large popular hotels. it is like a tourist nook. Easy access to the city for its sights (I went to the wonderful Toledo Museum of Art and the zoo (easy to walk through since the areas are quite close to each other. It has a great aquarium! great fun for the children. The room at the hotel is nice an spacious. The heater-air conditioner worked excellently and kept the room at a pleasant temperature without a noisy fan blowing the air. I had a great non-interrupted sleep. Breakfast included hot items and the kitchen personnel even offered to bring out some food that had been packed away already for some late-comers!!!!!!! Usually it would be...."You are too late and I have to get on with my business.!" Not here!!!!! Just the opposite. These People Really Cared!!! I have never heard of any one doing that. As a professor at a university I could easily have stayed there more than a week to quietly work on articles to be published and respite from other duties. Unfortunately, I had to leave. However, I Did Stay an Extra Night Because of All of the Above factors. I highly recommend anyone to stay at this Fairfield Inn & Suites Toledo North. You will be very happy you did. I certainly will the next time I have to pass in the area again!!!! Thank you, manager and...
Read moreStayed there March 1st, 2015. Had very nice rooms, clerk was exceptionally nice and lowered deposit from 100$ to 75$ for me since that's all I had on my card, with the promise that after checkout, in 4-5 business days, that deposit would return to my card. We didn't smoke in the room, left it the same way we found it, and a week passed. No deposit. My first call to the hotel about it got me to the manager's voicemail, so I told him the situation, and asked him to call me back to get it figured out. Another week passed with no contact. Called the hotel again, and surprise surprise, "The manager's not in today. I'll transfer you to his voicemail." Left ANOTHER message, asked him to call me back. Imagine my frustration when yet another week passed with no contact whatsoever. So I figured I'd try one more time. I called back the next week, now the 22nd of March, only to find that the manager was NOT in that day. I asked the clerk for his hours, to which she replied 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. Monday through Thursday, and 9:00 am to 12:30 pm Friday and Saturday, with Sundays off. I let her transfer me back to his voicemail to leave another message, and haven't gotten around to calling until today, March 31st. I called at 1:30 pm. Clearly between the times she had stated to me before, and yet when I spoke to the clerk this time, I asked for the manager, and she transferred me...... TO HIS VOICEMAIL. So I left a little bit angrier of a message, requested AGAIN for him to call me back, and then called back again to ask where the manager WAS. She replied "I have no idea." I then asked her to remind him to check his voicemail, but I have little to no hope of him getting back to me any time soon. This has been a waste of time, and a month after I was told my deposit would return to my card, I have yet to see anything from...
