We stayed at Fairfield Inn for two nights when atttending an Ohio State game. We were thrilled when we entered the lobby and it was decked out in Ohio State decor. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Liz, one of the shuttle drivers, was an absolute treasure--funny and informative. Our room was clean, but could have used a couple more wash cloths. I highly recommend and we will stay again in the future.

There was no one at the desk when I arrived to check in. Appararently they were short staffed that night. I am 70 years old traveling with a dog and there was no one available to help me with my luggage. I was told they are not a full service hotel and they don't do that there. I have stayed at other hotels charging $200+ a night and have never been told they were not full service. And I had an extremely unpleasant run-in with the night clerk Sonya at around 12:30am. Check your video of the front desk if you have it. She should be fired,
