FAIRFIELD INN PITTSBURGH CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP

The hotel had noisy AC. The suite room smelled strongly of pesticides. Plumbing issues where it was hard to shut off shower and toilet kept flushing itself. The parking lot was very dark and there was no area to unload. Breakfast was 6 to 9 am and was pretty good with eggs, waffles, quiche, bagels, oatmeal, gf bagels and muffins, fruit. The staff was very nice and the sheets were nice n clean. Bed comfy. Would not stay here again bc of the pesticide.

For us, it was all about the pool and hot tub! The water was warm which was a great relief during the coldest days of the year. Athaliah was great providing assistance at check in and also helping us extend our stay. There are many restaurants, shopping and grocery stores in a 3 mile area. Hotel is at the intersection of I79 and the PA Turnpike. Great location.

Pros: Exceedingly friendly staff, solid breakfast, Cranberry Township interchange has endless food and shopping options Cons: Property (and room in particular) in desperate need of renovations to bring up to Marriott standards Our one-night stay started off with some good and bad: the front desk employees were extremely friendly and helpful, but I was notified the room I booked was unavailable due to an open window during a storm resulting in soaked carpeting. In exchange for the two-bedroom requested, I was offered two separate rooms or one with window air conditioning units. I accepted the latter and found the situation to be highly inconvenient. Each bedroom had a small unit in the window because the central air in the room was not operational- this meant the common area had no air conditioning, and the bedrooms were filled with noise and sunlight in the morning (because the window units made it impossible to completely close the curtains). In addition, the property itself was in bad need of TLC. The hallway and room carpets were worn, lighting fixtures were broken, and every piece of furniture had a drawer that would slowly open by itself over time. This is not what I have come to expect of Marriott properties. On the plus side, the free breakfast was great and staffed by employees that obviously take pride in their work. The Cranberry Township interchange has a huge assortment of restaurants, stores, and hotels- many of which might be a better option until this Residence Inn's owners invest in a top-to-bottom renovation.
