Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Anniston Oxford

This hotel is tired. Very tired. It is in desperate need of a renovation. The front desk staff has always been friendly. The GM? Not so much. The rooms are dated, run down and the proximity to the highway makes it very noisy as well. There is a new Marriott property opening close by in a few months. Make sure to choose that option when staying in the area.

We were in the area for a Talladega Short Track Sprint car race. This hotel is about 15 mins from the track and close to multiple restaurants and shopping. Very clean and friendly staff. Would highly recommend!

Things I liked about our stay 1. Location. so so, just off the freeway. Quiet. 2. The building itself looked well managed and clean 3. The desk agent was gracious, acknowledged my Bonvoy status (as is the process, but sometimes not executed), offered us water 4. The room was on the highest floor as requested in my profile 5. The breakfast area was spacious, and the food choices were more than adequate Things I didn't like, and was a deal breaker. The parking for this hotel is simply put, inadequate. The back half of what would be the parking lot has a popeyes (or some chicken place), so parking is limited. When we arrived late after driving from Frisco, Tx, there was literally one parking spot left. This is unacceptable for a hotel focused on customers arriving by auto. Due to this, we cancelled our return visit, and booked at Townplace Birmingham South; and this turned out to be an excellent stay (also reviewed)

Great value. Staff is professional and nice. The girl working at front desk Nency, is amazing host…. Very helpful and adorable. Housekeeping services were great, very hygienic atmosphere. Overall it was great experience.

I just want to say Emily, Joel, and Quez have the absolute best hospitality. they treated me as if I were a loyal Marriott member. quez at the front desk did an amazing job checking me in so educated! Joel came and fixed a light I had flashing inside my room and helped me and my family set up the pull out sofa. and Emily the general manager had the friendliest attitude towards me and my kiddos giving us free popsicles and lemonade while we sat out at the pool. this hotel seems too always be busy which is good but I would be coming back. such a friendly and safe environment!
