Fairfield Inn by Marriott Great Falls

The basics provided are adequate, but need some freshening up. Our room had a very unpleasant odor...like a nursing home, when we first arrived. There was a visible dust line in the carpet along the walls. One of the bed skirts was visibly ripped multiple times. The room was otherwise clean, but the towels were mostly thin like paper towels. The bars of soap were nasty! They smelled like dirty clothes. We went and bought our own so our hands didn't smell after we washed. The TV only had about 1/2 of the channels that could be watched - the others all had wavy lines through them. There were some good points however - the pool and hot tub were clean and enjoyable, and the beds were very comfortable. The continental breakfast was nice as well, but the breads were very dry and old. Staff was pleasant. The laundry facilities came in quite handy!

The hotel was very clean. The beds were the best I have seen in a hotel. The breakfast was good and varied.

Check-in was quick and the staff was very friendly. The room was very clean and comfortable, although small for a suite (We had a king suite). I slept on the pull-out sofa, which was suprisingly comfortable, and the staff brought extra pillows and blankets to our room within minutes of our request. The breakfast was excellent, with make-your-own waffles (with strawberry topping and whipped cream!), microwavable breakfast sandwiches, yogurt, fresh fruit, and 24 hr. coffee. The location of the hotel was the absolute best. It's directly accross the street from the mall, and many shopping centers and restaurants are minutes away. We didn't use the fitness room. The pool was clean and had a comfortable temperature. The first night we stayed, the hot tub was great, but the second night they must have just added chemicals because our eyes burned within moments of getting in. I thought the hotel was very quiet, but my friend complained of dogs in a nearby yard barking very early in the morning and waking her up. I would stay here again, although in a regular room. I don't think the suite was quite worth the price.

The Marriott was very comfortable - good beds and nice and clean. It was not noisy and the continental breakfast was quite satisfactory. The pool maintenance should and could have been checked,as the following morning we could not use it due to the large pool was warmer than the hot tub. The hotel staff did not know the pool temperature was too warm and they did say they would check it, but we could not stay around to see if it was done as had to leave.Therefore, we were somewhat disatisfied with paying for amenities that were not available when we would have liked using them.
