A bit hard to find due to no sign on building. Staff was helpful and friendly. Room was spacious. Close to Dunes National Park. Short walk to wonderful Mexican Restaurant with outdoor dining. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

The front desk people were very nice but the room has rust and is old and has various worn wood and other materials. The chain lock was pulled out of its socket but I didn’t bother to tell anyone. The room is supposed to be non-smoking but smelled like smoke. When I told the front desk person she said the building is 30 years old and then gave me air freshener spray which did help. Wouldn’t stay there again.

I walked into room and did not even stay here. Complete waste of my money. Totally nasty, dirty room!! Dirty towels left in bathtub, dirty sink, smelled like wet mildew and mold. The whole place was absolutely disgusting! Dirty walls. No way I’d recommend anyone stay or waste their money here!

The older woman working the front desk was kind and helpful. However that's just about the only good thing I can say. The entire hotel reeked of cigarettes and stale weed, and the room was disgusting. If I hadn't already paid I would have left for another hotel. There was hair on the towels, the floor, the bed, and stuck to the walls of the shower. There was visible dirt on the floor, and the sheets had stains on them. The dresser was broken, and the lamps didn't work. There was always someone at the front door smoking either cigarettes or weed. People were coming and going all hours of the night (which is to be expected in a hotel) but not when they are loud and the walls are made of paper. The toilet always ran and didn't flush half the time. Spend the extra 20 bucks a night and go somewhere else.

Good location with lots of restaurants within a short walking distance. The wifi was slow and it throttled. The ice machine was always almost empty.

For the price, this an excellent choice to stay at Fairbridge Inn. We absolutely recommend this place because the staff, especially Debbie is very friendly and is always willing to help with anything you might need. She is one of the biggest reasons why we chose to come back there multiple times, when we’ve needed a place to stay. We like the fact too that it’s a very safe place and again, for the price the room and accommodations are affordable, clean and comfortable. This is our go to place whenever we’ve needed a place to stay. Big thanks to Debbie and the owners and staff for making every stay a great experience for us and our cat.

If you need to stay the night I'd recommend it for the price. However the room itself was worn - the tables, shower even the toilet, the quality of the TV was poor too its reminiscent of 2000s pre-HD cable. But the bed was clean and thats important. Though the bathroom could've used another pass - found some hair in the drain trap. Its a fine place for the night.
