The property was under renovation when we stayed, and it seems desperately needed. Carpet in room and hallways were stained with paint, there were no pictures on the walls, furniture was about as banged-up as I've ever seen in a mid-range chain hotel property. The beds were comfortable if a bit on the firm side and the linens were decent.... More

Were in town over Memorial weekend for a family graduation.. they are under construction, which is fine... but the entire place was filthy... our room was right next door to painting etc.. started working at 7 :30 on Sat. morn. each time we went to the front desk .. had to wait too busy visiting to wait on customers...

Prepaid for my room on the Marriott website, which caused some confusion at check in. Exercise room has a bike, a treadmill, and an elliptical and its open 24 hrs. Free: parking, breakfast, and a WIFI. Slept well.

First of all, the staff couldn't have been friendlier. One in particular went above and beyond help us out where she didn't have to nor was she asked to. They were all super nice and professional. The room was pretty clean, too. The only ice machine they had was broken. The water tasted so horrible we couldn't even drink it.... More

Every time we stay in Ottumwa to visit family and friends, we make the Fairfield Inn our headquarters. The staff is friendly and very helpful; the free breakfast is good; the location is excellent. There are, for a wonder, adequate electrical outlets for our laptops and iPhones. Our only quibble was with one of those outlets, which needs to be... More

Clean room, which always scores points with me. The nightly rates are about average. The shower/toilet part of the bathroom is separated from the sink/mirror, which is a nice convenience for two people trying to get ready quickly in the morning. My only complaint would be the bed being somewhat wobbly; however, I am a very light sleeper so this... More

I travel a lot for my job and choose Marriott properties because you know what your getting going in. Unfortunately this was not the case with the Ottumwa Fairfield. The staff was very polite and welcoming and that's where the Marriott experience ends. The hotel and room were very low quality, outdated, and run down. I could have sworn I... More
