Stayed 2 nights for a family gathering and had a very good experience overall. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Convenient location on the north end of Ottumwa, with easy access to Hwy. 163. Breakfast was the usual stuff (microwavable Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches, make-your-own waffles, muffins, breads, yogurt, etc.). The breakfast attendant, like all the staff, was very helpful...

I spent a week at the Fairfield Inn in Ottumwa while in town for work. The staff was friendly and the hotel rooms are very cheerful in their color and decorating. On my most recent stay, I had a room on the third floor which faced west. Loved being able to have the curtains open to see the sunset! The... More

I had a wonderful experience at the Fairfield Inn in Ottumwa, IA! Check-in was a breeze...the employee checking me in was very friendly and efficient. The workout room was great. They had a treadmill, elliptical, and exercise bike. All were in great shape and appeared to be fairly new. I did not use the pool, but I noticed that it... More

I received a top floor as requested in the online booking. They had rooms available and accomodated our early arrival. Breakfast was great with really more than was expected(waffles!). We brought a 5 and 6 year old who spent hours in the pool that ranged from 3' to 4'9". Great stay!

My wife and I had an excellent experience at the Fairfield Inn in Ottumwa. The room was nice, the breakfast was the best continental breakfast I've ever experienced at a hotel of this class, and the staff was courteous.

The hotel says they have a "continental breakfast" but it is more of a full breakfast. You can, for example, make waffles that are quite good. It has a very broad choice of other items including some home-made coffee cake. It has a pool and an exercise room that are very easy to use. The beds in the room all... More

I avoid Fairfields because of their paltry lobby breakfasts. However, in Ottumwa the Fairfield is the best chain hotel, so I booked there anyway. What an amazing surprise! The owners take a special pride in far exceeding the standard Fairfield offering: lots of extra items you would never find at any other Fairfield. Highlight of this property. All other aspects...

Staff was very friendly and accomodating, but this hotel is off the beaten path. The area seems industrial and a bit run down and I wasn't sure about the safety, but my fears were unfounded. It is a safe place, no one bothered our motorcycles parked out front. Our room was clean and spacious, the bathroom sparkled. The breakfast had... More
