Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Lebanon near Expo Center

The morning breakfast and service were pretty good, but I was surprised by how many things were broken. The elevator floor display was shattered, bathroom lights wouldn’t switch off, the room door latches stuck out before the doors had closed, and the tub spout didn’t work right. It’s a Fairfield, but it’s also a Marriott, so I expected better.

I’d been stuck at a low-quality hotel and needed somewhere better, and the staff at the Fairfield Inn Lebanon helped me move over to their place. Those three nights turned out great. Everyone was pleasant and helpful, the room was comfortable and clean, and there’s a safe, nice area to walk pets. There are several places to eat nearby too. If I’m back in the area, I’d choose this hotel first.

Breakfast was the standout, lots of fresh food and everything tasted great. The bed was a lovely queen, and the TV was a good size. The place is very clean and includes plenty of amenities and extras. I’d recommend staying here. The price feels worth it, since breakfast alone could’ve cost $40 at a local spot.

The best part of my stay was running into someone I knew at the front desk. I recognized the desk clerk as my old seventh-grade social studies teacher from Cedarcrest, and we had a nice chat. Seeing him really lifted my day. The hotel itself is new, clean, and up to date, with nice rooms. There are lots of stores nearby and most things you need close by. It also has a saltwater pool and a pretty nice gym.
