My wife and I were in town for one night to see a concert at the United Center. After much online comparing of properties, amenities, and prices, I settled on the Fairfield. It turned out to be a good choice.

The staff, from valets to concierge to bellman was very polite and equally helpful. When we arrived at our (first) room, we opened the door to find that the room had obviously not been cleaned after the last guest. The bellman apologized profusely, said he'd be right back, and in five minutes was back with another room number and keys. This room was just fine. It was smallish but adequate for our needs and also very clean and well maintained.

The property's location was great for our needs although if we'd been staying for several days and visiting multiple locations I think I would have wanted a more centralized location. As it was, we were a $15 cab ride from the UC so it was great for us.

All in all I'd recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a nice clean facility with top-notch professional staff. I'm not if the price we paid was the normal rate but it was very reasonable, especially when compared to other properties in the same neighborhood that were $200 and up per night.

From the reception to the room, everything is the best. I had a King suite on the 10th floor and it was amazing. Breakfast was complimentary and very rich. Prices were very much low. Great Deal. Enjoyed the stay for 5 nights

I got stranded in Chicago at 400AM on April 27, 2009 and was able to get a ride to downtown Chicago. I first tried to get into the Courtyard which was across the street and wanted to use points for my stay of what was to be only 6 hours long. The Courtyard receptionist was horribly rude and refused to help. I walked across the street to the Fairfield Inn where the receptionist helped me beyond belief. He called reservations and was able to accomodate me for the few hours. The staff in the morning helped me arrange a rental car and provided me with every direction I needed. Staff was amazing.

THe room itself which I slept in for a couple hours was average. The beds were way too hard though which made it a little uncomfortable. The stay cost 25000 points because it is a catagory 5. I wouldn't stay here if I had a choice but it is what it is.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel but the staff deserves to me recognized for what they did. I understand it's a downtown hotel within walking distance of the major attractions which was nice but I think its a little pricey point wise.
