Fairfield Inns are safe and predictable. The layout, furniture, and amenities are almost always the same. What separates the good ones are location and service. Here, the location is decent, and the service is excellent.

The location is between downtown and the airport, in the "Miller Hill" shopping area. We needed a place close to the airport, so this was perfect. There are plenty of shopping and dining options immediately surrounding the hotel.

The facility is typical. It is a three story hotel, with the lobby immediately in front, and the breakfast area off to the side. We left before breakfast was served, so I cannot comment about that. In the rear of the hotel was an indoor pool and hot tub. We didn't use either, but both looked very clean.

The room was typical Fairfield, from the bedding to the furniture. The bed was comfortable, and the television stations were decent. We had a great night's sleep.

However, the best thing about this place was the service. The hotel had no problem checking us in several hours early, were very friendly whenever we entered and exited the hotel, and even served us cookies in the evening. They even made sure we didn't need a cab in the morning for our early flight (we didn't - we rented a car). We would definitely stay here again.

I managed to book a room in Duluth at he Fairfield Inn the Sunday of the Labour Day weekend through priceline for $65. Upon arrival, the check in was easy and the front desk clerk was very friendly and genuinely happy to be at her job - you don't see that a lot!
The rooms were spacious - two queen beds, plenty of space, flatscreen tv, microwave and fridge...nice!
Free wi-fi that was fast and we enjoyed a fabulous continental breakfast which included waffles, cereals, pastries, breads, fruit and even sausage,egg and cheese sandwiches.
Shopping at the mall is directly across the street and for those quick store trips, a Wal-Greens in directly in front of the hotel.
This was a great hotel stay, we didn't utilize the pool but the families in there certainly were enjoying themselves. Oh and free parking....after being hosed $37 for two nights in downtown Minneapolis for two nights of parking, this little bit of freebie made me very happy.

Overall, great rooms, great price and exceptionally friendly staff at both check in and check out. I will definitely book here again in the future.

This was a decent stay.

The room was reasonably clean. They have an arrangement with a fitness center about 5 miles away, which we used.

This would be a pretty non-memorable stay.

If you're passing through and the rate is good, I'd say go for it.

Had 4 nights here as part of a longer trip. Slightly disappointed to realise how far it was from Canal Park in view of the parking difficulties at times. Was initially doubtful as to whether the beds had been changed as the linen was so very crumpled and the room cleaning was not very efficiently rectified by possibly summer staff although I understand this latter point has been attended to.
Very friendly front of house staff.
Overerall perfectly adequate rooms and comfortable beds and good value compared to the high prices near the water.
