Top 10 Fairground Inn Hotels

I always like to talk about the infrastructure of the room and not the interactions with staff or the core. Be aware that the one bedroom is not really a one bedroom, but a room that is broken up by a partition. The bedroom area is quite small and only enough room for a bed while the living area is also very small in size. The heating and air conditioning unit is directly beside the bed, and I turned off the heat for the whole night since I could not sleep with the heating unit on. The room must be well insulated since the temperature in the room did not fall below 68°. The room did not get that cold considering it was early January. I was able to hear the dinging of the elevator early in the morning and late at night. Be sure to ask for a room farther from the elevator. I was directly beside the elevator. There was a mini fridge and a microwave in the supposedly one bedroom. In summary, it was an adequate place to stay on my own. I would not recommend it for groups of three or more due to the small size.

It's affordable and conveniently located. The breakfast was standard. The bed was uncomfortable, the shower curtain in the bathroom wouldn't stay put, so the floor would get wet. There were also a lot of kids or teens running up and down the hallways at 10pm and yelling loudly. The worst part was staff barging in unannounced. Upon check-in, I confirmed with the front desk that I had requested a travel crib for my son. They said it hadn't been placed in the room yet (which it should have been), and said they would send it up shortly. Twenty mins after I got into the room I was using the restroom when I heard two quick knocks and the door open. It was housekeeping or a staff member with the travel crib, but I had no way of knowing that because I was in the bathroom and couldn't answer the door, and I couldn't just get up and see who it was. This was beyond inappropriate. They knocked and didn't give me any time whatsoever to answer the door, and after they opened it didn't even bother to announce themselves and say 'housekeeping with the crib' or whatever. As a woman traveling solo with a child, that terrified me. There are far better ways that could've been handled, such as the standard protocol of actually waiting for the guest to open the door before barging in or calling ahead to the room (or my cell phone) to ask if it's okay to bring it up and put it in there if I'm not in the room. If they had honored the reservation request and just put the crib in there prior to check-in this could have been avoided. Unless it's an emergency or the usual housekeeping, staff should NEVER enter a guest's room without letting them answer the door first.

We’ve used this hotel several times to stay while visiting family. It’s centrally located, near I 81 with east on/off accessibility. Close to restaurants, shopping and such. The hotel itself is clean. The rooms are comfortable and the staff is professional and friendly. What else can you ask for.

This is the 3rd time we've stayed here and never disappointed. Even during the dark days of COVID we were treated with respect and everything was tip top clean! This trip with grandchildren was exceptional. Pool time, and visiting Clayton for boat tour and making memories.
