We stayed at the Fairfield when passing through Alamosa. This particular Fairfield is a slightly older incarnation of the Fairfield concept and design. If I had to guess, I'd say the hotel was built or last renovated between 2012 and 2016. At check-in, I was given a paper bag with a mini-bottle of water, two packages of assorted nuts and a printed notecard thanking me for staying. The notecard wasn't personally addressed or signed. I was told this ”amenity” was because of my Marriott Bonvoy elite status. None of the preferences on my reservation were fulfilled. I specified a room away from the elevator. I received a room right across from the one elevator. One of the beds had two polyester-fill pillows (the kind that feel like cottonballs) and one feather pillow. The other bed had three polyester-fill pillows. My room, a double-queen suite, was comfortable. However, it was only superficially clean and was starting to show wear and tear. There was hair on the countertops of furniture and also the bathroom vanity. The bathtub had residue and/or stains from what looked like an old bath mat. The caulking could use replacement. The baseboards were dusty and dirty. The pipe going from the toilet to the wall and also the sprinkler were heavily rusted. The two 50-inch LG television was made in 2021 and was newer than the rest of the room. The sofa couch in the sitting room of the suite was worn and had visible discoloration. In the bathroom, the towels were different. Some were generic hotel supply company towels. Others were towels with Westin labels. The gym was well-equipped and includes two newer Matrix treadmills. Not my favorite brand but very good nonetheless. The gym is open 24/7. The small indoor pool and hot tub was dominated by kids. It's open 7 am to 10 pm. Breakfast starts at 6 am, which is nice. Coffee was out by 5:45 am. The selection was mediocre. A sausage breakfast sandwich, small egg quiches, cereal, yogurt, and breads. I didn't see any fresh fruit or fresh berries. I also didn't see any tea. The market off of the front desk was mostly empty. No beer, no wine, no diet soda. Just purified water and regular soda plus junk food snacks. All things considered, you'll forget ever staying here. It's an average slightly older Fairfield that could be cleaner and should be lightly updated. The nightly room rates of $200-plus before taxes are greatly inflated by the proximity (about 40 minutes) to a national park. This is really a hotel that anywhere else would be $85-$115 per night. There aren't many hotels in Alamosa, but $200-plus for a basic limited-service hotel without even a bar is outrageous
Formidable
