I have stayed at other Fairfield Inns and decided to give the Fairfield Inn South a try when I was in Vegas for a long weekend.
I am sorry to say that I don't plan on staying here again and this is why:
Being the end of September, it was still in the high 90s during the day and the high 70s/low 80s at night. This meant that I needed the air conditioning on in my room. The problem is, either you are in the North Pole or the Sahara Desert - no in between. The HVAC unit on the floor is right next to the bed.
Not only it is very noisy when it is on, there are no dials on the unit for high cool/low cool, high fan/low fan or whatever.
All there is is a thermostat unit on the wall. The thermostat has a button for on or auto, and one for heat/cool/off. No high/low fan button. And you can adjust the temperature with the little up/down arrows. Here lies the problem -
because you can't put the fan on high or low the unit only has 1 function - blow freezing cold Arctic air out at a high rate and when the room cools to the temperature on the thermostat, it shuts off. No low fan to run. Therefore you are either freezing or boiling in the room. No in between. I got very little sleep the 2 nights I was there because I was up constantly all night adjusting the thermostat. It was terrible!! I would never stay at this hotel again unless they add a high/low button to the thermostat.
Other than the HVAC problem and the fact that the bed was right next to the unit (maybe 2 feet from it!) , the hotel was fine. The room was very small but they managed to have a big desk with plenty of room on it and a little armchair & footstool. Small closet. The king size bed was fabulous as were the wonderful feather pillows. The staff were all very nice and the breakfast was good. There was plenty of hot water and good water pressure.
I did not have a suite, I just had a standard room. I did not hear any planes overhead (yes, the hotel is fairly close to the airport runways but so are the Mandalay Bay & many other strip hotels!)
perhaps because the noisy HVAC unitl drowned them out! and I did not notice any smell in the hallways.
