Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Parsippany♡

It’s a no for me!

4.0

I wanted to like this hotel because the room itself appeared to be recently renovated, but my overall experience left me feeling unsettled. The biggest issue happened at check-in. The front desk employee announced my room number out loud while handing me my key, despite there being a line of guests standing directly behind me. As a solo traveler, that made me very uncomfortable. Guest privacy and safety should be taken more seriously, and room numbers should never be announced publicly. Unfortunately, the rest of my stay didn't improve my first impression. The front desk employee was not friendly or welcoming, making the check-in experience feel cold and uninviting. While my room had been updated, the rest of the hotel felt dated. The lobby had a noticeable wet dog smell, and the hallways were filled with an overpowering artificial fragrance that seemed to be masking other odors. The complimentary breakfast was, without question, one of the most disappointing hotel breakfasts I've experienced. The "hot" food consisted of pre-packaged items sealed in plastic and left sitting in warming trays. Even airline food is more appetizing. The milk was shelf-stable with an expiration date in April 2027, which was surprising to see at a hotel breakfast. There were no fresh pastries and not even a waffle maker—something that's become a standard offering at many budget hotels. The renovated room was the one positive aspect of my stay, but it wasn't enough to outweigh the uncomfortable check-in experience, the odors throughout the hotel, and the disappointing breakfast. I left feeling disappointed and would not choose to stay here again.

Awesome service and hotel!

Location is perfect for me since im working back to back in nearby area. Iv been this hotel plenty of times (will definitely coming back soon) wonderful staffs ive met every time Im there never failed to go beyond my expectations and needs. Faye, the overnight agent always smiles and gives me wonderful vibe whenever I came back from work; Julius, morning agent, gave me a wonderful room, is very accommodating and friendly; as well as Lily Ann, most of the time who checks me in always give me a warm welcome as well as their GM Miss Jasmine is the best. Definitely keep coming back to this hotel!

Good for a short stay. Judging by the elevator, the hotel isn't new. But the room looks recently renovated. It was quite large, clean and very quiet. Nice front desk. Standard Fairfield breakfast.

Run Down & Under Renovations - NOT Recommended to stay here

2.0

We booked a 4 night stay and checked out early for several reasons. The positive is that the bed was very comfortable. The road noise from our room was extremely loud - recommend asking for a room that is not facing the road. The hotel is in need of re-painting. The hotel lobby was being renovated when we arrived, which led to having to take the elevator from the 4th floor to the 2nd floor and then walking down to the first floor, due to the renovations. The disappointing part is that management did not notify us before our arrival to tell us we would not be able to access the front lobby, which required us to carry our luggage up the outside stairs to access the lobby. Our room had a large water stain on the wall. The worst part, which was not the hotel's fault but we received no warning was the road work that was done our final night there that was done all night, including jack hammering. It woke me up. We checked out the next morning. I do NOT recommend this hotel due to the renovations needed to make this the quality of other Marriott hotels. The elevators are in need of painting and the rooms need repair, which affected cleanliness. The price for the room was reasonable. The location was good. We did not eat breakfast so not familiar with the amenities.

Random man unlocks hotel door and enters my room without knocking

2.0

I stayed here alone as a female guest, and I had a very unsettling experience. While I was in my room, a random man unlocked the door and walked in without knocking. It was extremely alarming. When I called the front desk, I was told he was part of housekeeping and “didn’t know the room was occupied.” That explanation doesn’t make sense. My room had been switched to a different floor due to renovations, and the manager—who checked me in—specifically asked that same employee to check the room beforehand to confirm it was clean and unoccupied. He confirmed that it was. Given that, it’s very concerning that someone was still able to access my room while I was inside, especially knowing I was alone. This was a serious breach of privacy and safety, and it made me feel extremely uncomfortable. To make matters worse, I was offered 10,000 Marriott points as compensation, which I never received—and it has now been over three weeks. If you are a woman traveling alone, I would strongly reconsider staying here. Honestly, based on this experience, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

A solid choice for a room

8.0

We had a few concerns about the Fairfield on arrival, and as we headed to our rooms. A few things were rough around the edges, due to some ongoing work, and the hallway smelled like a potpourri bomb had exploded. However, the rooms were excellent, clean, and comfortable. The only problem with our room is that the shower was draining slowly, which they fixed right away. Breakfast was the standard free buffet. Nothing too exciting, but decent, and the fitness room was fairly well equipped. We would stay there again.
