Fairfield Inn & Suites Atlanta Airport South Sullivan Road

“Great Hotel!”

I stayed at this hotel for one night after flying into the area. The room was very spacious and the bed very comfortable. I loved that the room had both a fridge and a microwave.

I stayed at this hotel for one night after flying into the area. The room was very spacious and the bed very comfortable. I loved that the room had both a fridge and a microwave. I felt very safe in this area. There are some restaurants within a few blocks too, which was very convenient. The parking is gated and you have to use your key to get in and out. I liked that as I didn't worry about my rental car being parked there. You could hear planes flying over but they quiet down significantly at night.

“Practical choice close to ATL airport”

I needed a hotel room near the Atlanta airport to wait out the recent ice storm. I found this one after finding that all the hotels connected to the airport were sold out. Others from the airport were hunkering down for the night as well. It was a short (2 mile) easy drive, and perfect for what … more

I needed a hotel room near the Atlanta airport to wait out the recent ice storm. I found this one after finding that all the hotels connected to the airport were sold out. Others from the airport were hunkering down for the night as well. It was a short (2 mile) easy drive, and perfect for what I needed: Pros: Close to airport! (but I didn't hear airplanes all night - thank goodness, I need sleep!) Comfy bed and pillows and my room was clean when I arrived Sitting area with desk, chair, couch, microwave and mini fridge Plenty of charging ports, etc. Secure - I had to be buzzed in when I arrived after midnight, exterior doors only accessible with room key Warm spacious lobby with fireplace and plenty of seating for guests Included breakfast was pretty good - waffle & pancake station, oatmeal with lots of toppings like pumpkin seeds, walnuts, and craisins, grab & go yogurts and muffins, eggs, sausage, juices and coffee. Self parking available on site (it was $18, I believe) - way less than airport parking Shuttle service to and from the ATL airport (I had my car, but was thankful to hear it was available if needed. I believe it's free but again, I didn't use it) Price point - very affordable rates, and if you are a Marriott Bonvoy Member, you can use points or a free night certificate (which I did for my stay). Cons: Finishes are cheap looking (but I didn't care - I was there to sleep) Cheap toiletries in room and institutional looking furnishings in lobby No views from room - you are looking at the parking lot (again, not an issue for me) and the windows could use a good cleaning! No amenities on site - no pool, no in room dining (again, not a problem for me) Front desk clerk was not warm or friendly and seemed annoyed when I checked in, and her appearance was sloppy - not a deal breaker and to be fair it was 1am, but I typically encounter professionally dressed and friendly desk clerks when I travel. This hotel was what I needed it to be and nothing more. I was able to get a good night's rest and have a nourishing breakfast in the morning before hitting the road to go home. A solid choice if that's your agenda. This is not a destination hotel, but I don't think that's their business model.
