I would describe our visit as “mixed emotions” I’ll share with you our pros and cons so you can make up your own mind on whether or not you should book. Pros- Well staffed - whatever we needed they were on site and ready. They weren’t short staffed at all. Endless pool towels. We kept turning in wet ones and got fresh ones. For a family of 6 this was a game changer. Cardio equipment was great. Complimentary breakfast although nothing special had the basics and the kids enjoyed it. 2 pool options- shady and sunny, zero entry or traditional. It was nice to have options Beds were generally comfortable. Microwave and fridge in the room was helpful Amber was super kind and helpful to my daughter who needed oat milk. On site guest laundry- kinda pricy $4 each Location was generally good we enjoyed Marathon a lot Cons- Price for parking wasn’t good- this really should be free here. Overall points/price cost was lofty for value. The blinds in our room were messed up Ice maker was broken- out of order The room is too dark The shower curtain was broken The door lock gave us issues because of the deadbolt- it wouldn’t engage and then when we left it wouldn’t lock but it also wouldn’t allow us back in. The front desk made us feel like we just weren’t working it correctly but this is an issue that needs to be resolved. On our final night a school group with teenagers checked in. This not the hotels fault per se but they did make our last night less comfortable- late nights lots of running and woke us up early. Most upsetting issue by far was the gym floor. I am going to say this directly IT IS DANGEROUS. Not just 1 but numerous dips or holes in the flooring (5-6 is my guess) before the rubber mat makes for a dangerous ankle breaking level of danger. It’s likely to cause someone injury and should be fixed immediately. It’s exacerbated by the pattern on the flooring causing it to be an optical illusion.

We highly appreciated the smile of the front desk the entire team ! Leynades was a real sunshine, night auditor as well. We appreciated the spotless room Very convenient, and nicely refurbished. Elevator was a little loco. And the point we would definitely want to get some upgrade is breakfast, espresso, a real espresso is a must for european, as well as continental breakfast. AC is a little loud but worked great. The restaurant, pool , service and view and location were PERFECT!!!!

We spent four nights at this hotel and overall really enjoyed our experience. After doing a lot of research, this felt like the best option in our price range while still offering somewhat of a resort feel. We opted for a suite with a balcony overlooking the water, and that was absolutely worth the extra cost. The rooms and overall property were very clean, which is extremely important to our family. The front desk staff was friendly, and while the breakfast was a typical hotel breakfast, it was hot, fresh, and well maintained. We especially enjoyed the tiki bar at the pool and the on-site restaurant. The drinks at the tiki bar were pretty pricey (1 beer, 1 mojito, 1 punch cocktail, and 1 soda came to $48 with tip), but it was a fun atmosphere. We saved the restaurant for our last night and agreed it was our favorite meal of the trip — great food, service, and atmosphere. The outdoor game area with ping pong, cornhole, and Connect Four was a great bonus and allowed for some fun, inexpensive family time. The hammocks around the pool were a really nice touch, too. Our main issues were with housekeeping. They clean every other day, which was fine, but they missed our scheduled cleaning day. After a long day out, walking into a dirty room when we were ready to wind down was disappointing. We were assured it would be cleaned the next day, but by nearly noon no one had come. I tracked down housekeeping and was told it would be done within an hour, so we headed to the pool. When we returned almost three hours later, they had just started cleaning, and we had to wait on the balcony while they finished. The beds were so-so comfort-wise, though I’ll admit I have pretty high standards when it comes to mattresses. Overall, we would stay there again and recommend to others.

Our experience here was great. The room was a king size bed with a pool view on second floor. We will be back. Enjoyed the pool and location of this hotel close to everything.

Jahneil and Leyanis were amazing and really made me feel valued as a Platinum member. Husband and I stayed Christmas Eve and checked out on Christmas Day. Laundry on site, which was convenient and front desk can give you change for the machines. We used the gym too which is next to the laundry room. In close proximity to convenient stores and restaurants without feeling like it’s a busy area to be in. Shoutout to Dennis the facilities member, very helpful too. But honestly can’t say enough about Jahneil and Leyanis. Only recommendation is to make sure ALL duty staff are fully trained and familiar with membership tiers and perks.

Thr place itself isnt bad and Sparkys Landing Bar and Grill is right behind it. There's an Island Grill restaurant across the street but other than that you are driving or biking. Rooms are decent but word of warning. The rooms ending between 02 and 14 (i.e. 202, 314, etc.) face the highway so you will here noise. We stayed in 214 and although I liked the size if the room, its directly over the entrance so you hear everything including the drunk folks walking in at 230am. The AC units in each room are loud and sound like a jet taking off when they start up. We ended up cranking it down to 65 during the day then turning the unit off at night so we could sleep. At breakfast, it feels like utter chaos with hoards of people running around like its the last meal ever and its not even that great. Its included so I get it but be prepared for a 6 person wait if you want to get fancy and make yourself a waffle. Pool area is decent and there's a small stand alone bldg with a gym. Walking and biking path down Key Colony Beach is nice and Havana Jack's at the end is a decent bar for a drink

Stayed here two nights while visiting the Keys. This is a clean and well-kept hotel and the building was newer and in excellent condition. There were a variety of breakfast items, from hot oatmeal and a Belgian waffle maker that you can make your own waffles with, as well as scrambled or hot boiled eggs sausage, bread, bagels, and fresh fruit. It would have been nice to have some pastries but overall a good breakfast. My only complaint was the A/C unit in my room was very noisy, I ended up just turning it off to sleep. There's also only one elevator and the license was expired. Other than that a pleasant stay.

Great location and clean hotel with spacious rooms. Rooms also had spectacular views of the water. Breakfast can be better with more options and wish they carried flavored creamer for coffee (only half & half available). But overall, my family and I really enjoyed our stay.

This Hotel is absolutely amazing. When you come into the Hotel the Front Desk is very professional and kind. They are helpful and provide excellent information . The room is very clean and has nice updates. The building is clean and provides everything you need. The pool is very nice with hammocks and seating areas near the pool and bay. I choose this hotel because of the location. It is very close to a nice beach, good restaurants, and 1 hour away from Keywest. My husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary this weekend and we had an amazing time. Affordable hotel, very clean, great location, nice staff!!

Had a wonderful one night stay at Marathon Fairfield Inn… rooms are new and quiet. Great pool area, good breakfast and superb staff! Leyanis at the front desk was awesome and so helpful and the GM Danielle was also great! We enjoyed our stay.. great location!! 5+ stars!!
