Quick trip in the snow

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 11 Dec 2019
I had the pleasure of staying at the Fairfield Inn for a quick business trip. I arrived just after they had 2 1/2 feet of snow 12hrs prior. My welcome was warm and extremely friendly. The front desk attendant was funny, entertaining and extremely helpful. She offered me several close options for dinner. I needed to valet my car and Gordon took great care of me and the car. Not only did he assist with my luggage, but made sure I had everything, explained the cost and also recommended some dinner options. When I realized that I had left my toothbrush at home, he was the one who answered the phone and brought me a toothbrush and toothpaste, with the BIGGEST smile on his face and asked if I needed anything else and how my stay was so far.
My room was beautiful! The housekeeping and engineering teams clearly enjoy where they work as the room was spotless, no odor, everything worked, was fresh. Job Well Done! Breakfast was OK in the morning.
My only complaint was the morning valet/bellman. I understand that the cars are parked in a garage and it could take 10 minutes or so to get. The valet/bellman who went to get my car took 20 minutes, at 11:00am, not in rush hour. When he finally showed up with my car, he was on Facetime with a buddy. He barely even acknowledged me. Did not even offer to assist me with my suitcase...in the snow and slush. My seat and mirrors were moved....valet rule number 1...don't move the seat. I was not impressed. As I work for a hotel in Orlando, your valet/bell team is the first and last impression for a guest. Thankfully my experience the night prior was excellent. I will for sure be staying at the Fairfield next time I am in the Albany area for sales calls.

Great hotel accomodations. As soon as I walked in felt like Ebony (front desk) already knew who we were. She was very personable and had us laughing from the second we walked in. Hotel is in great location.

My husband and I were at this hotel in September for a concert at the Times Union Center, just around the block from the Fairfield Inn. The proximity to the venue couldn’t be any better. One of the drawbacks is no valet parking on the weekend and the parking garage is around the corner and expensive. Fortunately, our friends arrived first and told us we could park on the street after 3PM and pay a nominal fee from the street parking machines.

We had a significant issue with our room not being clean yet, told it was being cleaned when it wasn’t and a front desk person who was raising her voice at me across the lobby. It was concerning enough that when I started to ask her to stop raising her voice at me, my husband asked me not to as he was concerned what she might say or do. I suspect someone in the office area heard her because she disappeared, and another woman came over and apologized profusely and said they were sending someone up to clean the room after I had already been told it was being cleaned three times.

The room we were in was stunning and huge with a fireplace and gorgeous views. It was immaculately cleaned, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. While I liked the hotel and the location, the interaction with the one person at the front desk was significant enough to give this hotel three stars. I have traveled quite a bit and never had any hotel employee talk to me that way. For any future visits, we’ll go to the Hilton just down the street.

Room tip: We managed to be put in a suite that was quite lovely.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for a leadership convention. Thanks to Ebone, an unbelievably exceptional lady at the front desk, our stay was totally amazing!!! She has such a friendly, bubbly personality....and totally brightens everyone's day! And totally made our weekend! When we arrived, she checked us in. But as she was checking her computer she asked if we would like a king suite, instead of a 2 queen room. We said sure. Totally unaware that she upgraded us to a HUGE king suite with a wall of windows, TONS of space and a fireplace!!!! We thanked her immensely!! And totally enjoyed our stay at this hotel.
So if you stay at this hotel, ask for Ebone. She'll make your stay exceptional! And make sure you are taken care of!

1) Clientele: granted, this is a personal preference, but after a 3-night stay I did not see a single profiled business traveler. The clientele was a little eclectic.
2) in 20+ years I have NEVER had an experience where I ran out of toilette tissue in the room. This is definitely a first. On my first night the toilet tissue roll was low. It was never replenished. By night 3, I had gone though the second roll. Hey, it’s the basic things that matter! A girl needs plenty of toilet tissue.
Otherwise, the front desk service was spectacular, the rooms were nice and spacious, and the suite bathrooms were large, and it was a very comfortable stay.
