"I have stayed at this Fairfield Inn for 10-14 days each year for the last 4-5 years visiting relatives and I must say each stay has been exceptional. The staff is courteous and helpful; the rooms are maintained by housekeeping immaculately, and the daily breakfast is always fresh and nutritious. In my working life I have stayed at MANY hotels and frankly this is one of the most consistently satisfying."

Emerald Queen Hotel & Casino - Fife

10/10 Excellent

"The place is a very safe place to stay."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Seattle Federal Way

8/10 Good

"Great breakfast options included, excellent staff, nice room, the only thing that annoyed me was that they were replacing all of the A/C units and they were all over the hall way during the day, just had to be careful not to trip, to avoid falling on the units, they did moved them at night, which made me feel better. I’m all for remodeling/replacing, they just need to do it when people are not there."

FairBridge Inn & Suites Dupont

4/10 Poor

"WiFi advertised but not provided... Service in public areas, but WiFi was out of range in our room and management was aware of it for our room and at least one other. A maintenance person confirmed no wifi on first day and said they would work on getting it fixed by moving a router, but through 4 nights of stay, there was no wifi for us."
