After reading the Dec. 2004 review of this hotel, I had to respond.

I have stayed at the Fairfield Inn Las Vegas airport at least a dozen times. I travel to Vegas twice a year to attend a trade show and love the location because it is only a fifteen minute walk to the Sands Expo Center. This is a typical Fairfield Inn. It is an economy business hotel. I have always been treated well by the staff and the upkeep of the property is exactly what you would expect from Marriott. The hotel rooms were being updated when I was there, but it appeared they had the entire third floor closed for the rennovation so there was no disturbance in my first floor room. When the rennovation is complete it will make the Fairfield an even greater value.

I suspect the individual who wrote the "Just Say No" review just had a bad experience, something that happens even at the best hotels occasionaly. I highly reccomend the Fairfield Inn on Paradise to those who hate casinos as much as I do and want a smaller quieter property off the strip and near the two major convention centers.

In closing let me add that my bed came equipped with a nice bedspread, despite what was written by the earlier reviewer.

I have to tell you, I just returned from the Las Vegas Fairfield, and about all I can say, is that it was one of the worst hotels I have experienced. The floor I was on was under renovation, and had all of the wallpaper pulled down, and smelled of paint or some other chemical. Needless to say, it was dirty due to the construction. My room, was in dire need of renovation and was dirty as well.

One of the strangest things was that the hotel did not have any bedspreads on my beds while some of the other rooms did. I inquired about this, and they said that they don't offer bedspreads anymore, only a "3-sheet setup". My bed had only two sheets and a thin blanket. I have never stayed in a hotel in my life that did not offer a bedspread. I find this unacceptable, especially from a Marriot hotel. I believe that the hotel should have offered a discount due to the disruption and lack of cleanliness from the construction, but when I asked, none was given.
