Clean and great service I've stayed in many of the Aiken hotels and while this is not the newest hotel, it is the cleanest with the most responsive staff. I was very disappointed with the local Hilton hotels and prefer the Fairfield mainly due to the cleanliness.

Great spot This is a very nice hotel. The staff here does a great job and the place is very well-run. It’s clean, spacious, and tucked back off the road so it’s very quiet. It’s super close to downtown and is just a very nice, comfortable hotel. There is ample parking. I would definitely stay here again.

During CoVid, 4 star service Under normal circumstances, this would be a 5 star experience. But these are not. Due to CoVid, the personal touches are not available, and it is those personal touches which make Marriott a 5 star hotel. For example, coffee maker, coffee, cups, ice bucket, more hangers (only 2 in closet), and pens/paper are available upon request from the front desk. We weren’t sure if they’d be delivered or we’d have to return to the front desk for pick up. It was late, we were tired, so we unpacked essentials and went to sleep. As expected, the room was clean, well lit, quiet, and had light & heavy curtains (both used together blocked morning sun well). AC was perfect, as was TV, and clock radio. The outlets on one side of the bed were loose, and not working. Others at desk (5 outlets) and other side of bed (2 outlets) worked perfectly. Bathroom had hairdryer, and soap/shampoo/conditioner containers on the wall in the shower. Bed was comfortable, with plenty of pillows. After a restful sleep, we went downstairs for breakfast: yogurt, bottled waters, coffee, sausage/egg biscuit, orange, apple/blueberry muffins. We did not choose either of 2 cereals, milk, granola bars, teas, cocoa. We bagged our chosen items and ate in our room. We could have eaten in the breakfast area as a few tables looked as if they could be used. Others were roped off and marked as unavailable. The pool looked wonderful, but we had no time to use it. We know there was a fitness room, and we saw the business area. We had no time to use either of those areas either. We only saw a couple of staff members - one for check in at 10 last night and one for check out this morning at 10. Both were friendly, professional, and efficient. We hope to return and when we do, we know times will be better & that this will be a five star review.

Great hotel. I rarely give a 5 star review. We were very happy to stay here. Very clean. Great front desk folks. Good dealing with Covid 19. Hard to locate if you don't have gps. Behind the Clarion. Minimal breakfast but that's ok.

You could smell the "clean" less than 2 miles from the downtown biz district. Social distancing being observed by staff & guests. CLEAN lobby. You could smell the bleach. Same with the room. Clean. During COVID 19 travel, that's what I'm after. Job well done.
