My stay was for two nights. I don't recommend this place and here are the reasons:
-The hallways smell like a skunk. When you turn on your ac, it pulls the smell into your room. Yuk! If you read reviews about this place, another poster mentioned this smell yet I booked because I saw more positive reviews than negative. This place is only a year or two old.
-I was given a handicap room(shower stall)and when the water spilled out all over the bathroom after my shower, I requested a room change. The man at the front desk was annoyed, told me that there were no rooms to change to, instructed me to go back to my room and he will call me. After ten minutes, my husband went up front and luckily got the manager. The manager changed us to a different room.
-I don't know why I was even given a handicap room to begin with. Neither my husband nor myself is physically challenged and when we were checking in, the front desk informed another guest that they DO HAVE rooms available and yet I was still given a handicap room.
I won't stay here again.

Stayed at the Fairfield Inn on April 1, 2006. Perfect Location, just a couple of blocks from the Mandalay Bay, close enough to the Strip without having to deal with the traffic of the Strip. Nice, clean spacious rooms, friendly staff. The only problem I had was the AC/Heating unit was very loud. I actually had to turn up the TV pretty loud to hear it over the AC/Heating unit. The unit did have a digital thermostat so you could set it just like your home thermostat. I left my room, set the unit to 80 degrees (it was cold in Vegas during my stay) so when I got back to my room it was nice and warm so I set it to 72 and went to bed without it coming back on as I slept.

I stay in a lot of hotels and this place is awesome. The rooms are top-notch and the service is very professional. You really can't believe you are at a Marriott BUDGET property. You'd swear you are at a full-service Marriott.

My boyfriend & I were attending a wedding in Vegas. All of the hotels were pretty expensive for the weekend we were going. Of course we wanted to stay on the strip but because of the prices we decided to stay at the Fairfield Marriott. My boyfriend & have "HIGH" standards anywhere we stay & try to get the best value for our $$. Our reservations were for the entire stay of our trip, but a few days before we left we found cheaper rates at The Excalibur so we canceled all but the 1st night. We did our research & found that the hotel was still very new. When we arrived it was better than we even imagined. It was still very close to the strip & we see all the hotels lit up. The lobby was very clean as well as the grounds around the hotel. The room was spectacular. It was like a mini apt. Everything was clean & in great condition. We stayed in a King room, the front of the room was a little living room w/a hideaway sofa, TV. & even a stereo complete w/cd & cassette. The bed, linens & pillows were "VERY" comfortable. Almost better than my own. There was also a 2nd TV in the area w/the bed. I was very upset that we canceled our other days & was sad to go. This place was so much better than the Excalibur. The only downfall is its not on the strip & there are no slot machines here, but were big gamblers. But none of that mattered. The staff was very friendly & we were greeted each time we came in. I plan to stay here every time I'm in Vegas & would recommend it to everyone. We were so impressed.
