The Inn at Fairfield Beach

Free upgrade to a better room! Sparkling clean nicely decorated room. Easy access to town. Friendly staff. Five stars across the board.

Excellent accommodations and Staff. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others

Our room was sparklingly clean, bright, and comfortable with room to move around. The staff were most friendly and helpful. During our spring stay, the area was quiet but not far from restaurants and shops.

This was our second weekend visit to the Inn. We once again, enjoyed the New England atmosphere, the spacious room (French Country Studio), close in parking, and the staff service. It's just a short walk to the restricted beach for panoramic viewing.

First, what's nice. Just across the street from the beach. Room was spacious and clean. That's all we really would need for a fine stay. Except for the unfortunate location adjacent to THE college party bar in Fairfield - The Seagrape. Friday & Saturday nights the pulsating music from inside and a drunken crowd that spills out into the street, officially ending at 2 am in the bar, but continuing on until close to 3am outside, makes any kind of consistent sleep impossible. We had perhaps the worst room, street side, but guests we met on the other side complained also of the boisterous yelling, laughing and singing of the groups of college kids traveling the sidewalk around the hotel. First night, I went out at 1am to see what was keeping us awake. 2 Fairfield police cars were stationed there to ensure things didn't get out of hand. When I asked them when the bar closed, they said 2pm, but not to expect things to stop completely. I rolled my eyes and one said to me "that's why we never recommend this hotel." The next morning I spoke to the woman at the check in desk. She said she was sorry. She knew the "kids" were loud. She offered to recommend another hotel, but couldn't refund the next night's payment. (They bill in advance for this place. Now I know why.) Then she told me where the Rite Aid was up on Post Road so I could buy some ear plugs and Nyquil. I kid you not. Finally, she suggested if we can't beat 'em, we could join 'em. I think she was try to be funny. It wasn't. Saturday night. Same story. The Rite Aid ear plugs helped a bit, but when a frat party is happening a few yards away, waves of sound do make it through. Fortunately, a brief shower scattered the crowd at about 2:30. An extra half hour of sleep. So, what looks like a good location near the water is actually a terrible one. That's one issue. But the staff's lack of accommodation indicates a deeper issue with the establishment.

While we were very upset by this scathing review, and have contacted the guest and the Owner has addressed this review at length. We hope that you will take the time to read all of our reviews on Trip Advisor & Bed and Breakfast before being swayed by the above review. Thank you in advance for taking the time to consider "THE INN" Kind regards Mary

I spent three days in the Celestial Suite and it was fantastic.

We have reopened after 5 months (damage from SANDY.) Come on back Mary

My husband and I spent one night here while traveling through New England. We loved the room. It was spacious and very comfortable. My only complaint is that the weather did not cooperate for a walk on the beach...maybe next visit.

Thank you for your Kind remarks. Come back soon Mary

I brought my sister and my niece for a stay in the Greek Studio. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The room was just perfect - tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The Inn is located off the main roads in a peaceful area which meant a lot to us. We loved that the beach was just a short walk away - and took advantage of it! There are excellent restaurants just a few minutes drive from the hotel and shopping a mile away as well as in Westport which is only a 20 minute drive away. If we could go back tomorrow, we would!

I was only staying for one night, and the Inn at Fairfield Beach fit the bill just perfectly. The room was beautiful and spacious, and had great access to the beach (though figuring the direction there was a bit confusing). They don't have a kitchen in-house, so don't look for much on the breakfast side. Contrary to what another poster mentioned, we didn't have any problems with noise from the bar next door, even though our room was right next to their entrance.

After a bit of confusion over the phone making the reservation, things got ironed out and the staff went overboard, allowing us a much more relaxed weekend for our daughter's wedding! Lesley was a pleasure to deal with upon our arrival and our room couldn't have been more perfect. Free parking was an added perk in the area and the pleasant surprise of juice and muffins for breakfast made one feel welcome. I will easily not hesitate to stay here again! Thank you all!

Come back soon Mary

Pleasantly surprised - great room, clean, friendly staff who gave us a great recommendation for food - Avellino's - Italian food. It was AMAZING!! I loved the special touch of a continental breakfast even though it was just OJ and some baked goods in our fridge. They forgot to restock it though. :( I tried to find some sign of hair or dirt in our all-white bathroom and couldn't. LOVED that. The bed was super comfortable and linens crisp. The towels were soft and plush and smelled great....and I'm picky. They even had coffee WITH CREAMER in the fridge - not the powdery milk. LOVED that. Things they can't control but would have been nice - a better view, a better beach. Definitely give it a try...

A really nice place close to the beach. We come here every year on vacation!

Thank you. Come again Mary

Great room. Super clean. The private deck off the room was great for the morning coffee. Being close to beach was a plus too. Can't wait to go back

[Resource Id: InnkeeperResponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you. Come again. Mary

The location and the accessibility to the beach is awesome. Being close to the water and also within walking distance of downtown shopping and restaurants is wonderful. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. It was like an oasis and blended in to the residential area it is a part of. I would definitely stay there again.

The inn thoroughly exceeded my expectations. Rooms are modern, cheery, clean & homey. Staff and owner are personally invested and are happy to suggest local restaurants and are open to suggestions. The people at the inn all seemed so happy to be working there, and that added a lot to the atmosphere. Will definitely return & recommend!

The Inn at Fairfield Beach is a good value if you need a cute and clean room in the Fairfield, Ct. area for maybe one night or so. The rooms are small, but nicely arranged and decorated. Although this Inn is near the beach, it is not directly on the water, you need to cross over a road and walk down the lane a bit. I am a good sleeper, and the room and bed were comfortable for me, but I would caution any light sleepers that the neighborhood is not quiet at all. Right behind the Inn is a bar (called a Cafe, but it's a bar) where the patrons tend to be quite loud, boisterous and profane. On both Friday and Saturday nights the fighting and loud swearing went on until 2pm despite it's proximity down the street from a police headquarters. I was a bit surprised the police were not out suppressing the altercations. During the daylight hours there was heavy machinery in the area operating steadily at high decibels. This is not something the Inn has any control over, just a cautionary note that if you like a quiet retreat, you probably won't find it here. Other than that, it was great! Inn is not far from great shopping opportunities.

Come see us during the Summer months. Take advantage of the Mid week Summer Special. Cheers, Mary

Pamela David, provides the BEST service ever. This is an excellent place to stay with family and/or friends. The service is outstanding, my family and I had to send a Thank you card to Pamela David for such greats service!!!!

The staff was more friendly then I could have asked for. And the location is perfect. I had a great experience and would recommend this inn for anyone who is looking to stay at Fairfield for a nice getaway.

We really liked staying here. We stayed in the "Shaker Suite", this past weekend. It's beautiful. However, one thing is that there is no one on staff at night and we were awakened at 2am by a lot of older kids/young adults being very loud upstairs outside on the balcony. And this went on for about 3 hours. This was my only issue. This is a family place, not for ruckus! This left us quite tired the next day, unable to enjoy the last day of our vacation and then have a long drive home. Despite this, we will definitely be back!

[Resource Id: InnkeeperResponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you very much for your kind remarks. I apoligise for the noise, Fairfield University is close by. I think they were have some kind of party next door. If you return to us, let us know in advance and we will offer you a 10% discount, and perhaps recomend a room further away from the noise. Kind regards, Mary Merkle

Cute little place in a great location by Fairfield beach. Very clean and comfortable, would stay here again for sure.

Stayed at the Inn for two nights (Sunday/Monday). The Suite was exactly as shown in the photos. What I didn't realize when looking at the photo and booking the room was that there were no doors to the two bedrooms, hence no privacy. A bathroom in each bedroom was nice...no sharing. The bathrooms were set-up with soaps/shampoos, etc., just like any nice hotel would do for you. The room was very clean, AC's worked great, and housekeeping did a nice job cleaning up after our first night. "Breakfast" consisted of muffins and cans of OJ left in the fridge for us, along with bottled water, and a coffee maker set-up. The bar next door was the only real place to eat "locally" (walking distance), although there was a deli and pizza place across the street. Burger/Fries and a few other typical bar items were on the menu. I wasn't expecting much with regards to dining options so I wasn't disappointed with the breakfast and the outside places to eat. A lot more dining options were a driving distance away, and that is what we did. The inn is walking distance to the beach which is where we spent our two days. I felt the place was a little overpriced for a Sunday/Monday, but there isn't much in that area to compare to. Overall it was exactly what I thought I was getting into so there was no disappointment. Most importantly thing was that the place was VERY CLEAN, and the housekeeping staff did their job well.

We thank you for taking the time to review our Inn. We will take note of your comments and try to rectify where we can. Kind regards, Mary F. Merkle

Last summer, I needed a place to stay in Fld, and having graduated from Fairfield U. many years ago, wanted to stay near the beach. Googled and found this Inn. Cozy room - bed and sitting areas; easy walk to the beach; short drive to Fld. center; and nice complementary continental b'fast of muffins, cereal, OJ, milk, bottled water, coffee and tea - there are microwaves and coffee machines in the room. Enjoyed my stay last year, so came back again when I had the chance this summer! I hope to make it an annual summer weekend tradition.

Arrived late on Friday afternoon and staff was very friendly and pleasant. My room was clean and comfortable. Would certainly return again if I was in the area.

Thank you for your kind remarks, we look forward to you returning to us. Kind Regards, Mary

The room was just as the photo showed & was very clean. I did not have or need much interaction with the staff, but everyone was very pleasant. The location was great; walking distance to two nice beaches & a wide array of restaurants. It was quiet (at least during summer, from what I understand it's a hopping scene come fall). I was able to relax & enjoy myself which was the reason for my stay. The Inn more than met my needs & I was pleasantly surprised!

[Resource Id: InnkeeperResponse, Set: reviews]
We are happy you enjoyed your stay, please come again. Thank you, Mary

This is a true Gem by the Sound! Who would ever think you could stay in such a Wonderful place just seconds off of Bustling I-95. The room was Bright and Light and Spotless. Every need was met. The Staff....like a loving Family! This is more a Boutique Hotel than B&B...but that is my preference! Lovely walking location as well. A True Gem and a True Good Price! Paul!

Thank you for the great review. We pride ourselves on the inn and making our guest our top priority. We hope that you will join us again soon. Again thanks.

I travelled all the way from Dubai,UAE, to meet up with some relatives and friends, and was amazed at the room, breakfast, service and smiling faces that greeted me.Prior to my arrival, the friendly staff helped me with transport details from Newark Airport.Kudos to the Front Desk Staff! Won't hesitate to return. O.R.

I was pleasantly surprised by the room. Very convenient spot and clean lovely atmosphere. Came up for my Fairfield University reunion and was able to see all my favorite Fairfield spots because I was so centrally located. The room was pretty soundproof too considering it is next to a popular bar.

Glad you had a good time, come again. Cheers, Mary

The people here were amazing. Very personable, very friendly. The guy at the desk even drove us to the train station! Definitely coming back during the summer to enjoy the beach :)

Thank you. We look forward to welcoming you back. Cheers, Mary

Stumbled upon the Inn while searching on google. We did not expect a breakfast - so we were actually pleased with the muffins and cereal being available. The proximity of the seagrape was a bonus too (we stuck with the pub fare). The one thing that stuck out to us was how clean the room we stayed in was. Extremely clean. I would recommend it.

[Resource Id: InnkeeperResponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you. Come on back. Cheers, Mary

We wanted to check out the Inn to see if we would like to book again for our daughter's graduation in May. We have already booked 3 days in May because the rooms are nicer than they are in the pictures. Our stay was fabulous. We enjoyed every minute. The staff was extremely hospitable and room was unbelievable. You can not touch the value "Bang for your Buck" theory. We actually have discussed just shooting up there for an evening. We recommend the Inn without hesitation to all.

This is not a B&B. They left us 2 muffins in the fridge, and cereal with no milk, just a pile of single-serving coffee creamers. 2 cans of orange juice (never seen cans of OJ before) and 2 waters were also included. We paid extra for a room with a fireplace. $180 for one night. The "fireplace" was a Pyromaster Electric Fireplace, with ceramic logs and a built-in heater. Also, ours was broken, so if there were any gas flames (and I'm not sure there's supposed to be), we didn't even have that luxury. I booked the hotel on bedandbreakfast.com. I called them during business hours twice before arriving, leaving a message once asking them to call me back and confirm my reservation. I never heard from them. We arrived a little after 5 and the office was locked up - our keys were left in a drop box for us. There was nobody to call for help or assistance. The next morning I complained about the fireplace to the woman at the front desk. She told me she'd let the owners know it was broken, and that was that. Oh, and we were there on Jan. 1, and were not informed that the inn's restaurant was closed that day; only the bar was open. Would have appreciated some heads up so we could have grabbed food near the train station instead of being limited to the only place within walking distance: a deli across the street. I emailed the inn and told them how dissatisfied I was, asked for some compensation, and told them I didn't want to leave them a bad review without giving them a chance to make it up to me. I never heard back from anybody, ever.

We have an new administration at the Front desk. Give us anoth chance this summer. Cheers, Mary

My husband and I needed last minute accomadations in Fairfield but really do not like chain hotels. The Inn at Fairfield Beach turned out to be a wonderful discovery! We were greeted by the friendly manager who happily led us to our room which had a view of the LI Sound. The room appeared to be recently updated and extremely clean. There was a very nice sitting area and separate sleeping area. a few delis and restaurants are within walking distance. We will definitely be back!

The quality of the "food" provided for breakfast really makes it a stretch of the imagination to call the place a B &B. Other than that, the Inn is a fine place.
