This is the place to stay in Merrillville IN
The room was very clean and smelled fresh. The breakfast was a full breakfast with eggs, sausage links, buscits and gravy and waffles. There is also plenty of bahles, fruit and cereal. Staff were VERY friendly. We asked the lady doing the check-in where a good Mexican restaurant was and she directed us right door the El-Poblamo. It was a great recommendation.

Very bad. Didn’t make it into hotel. There were two ladies staying at hotel that were drug addicts with both arms shot up. Area was unsafe. They were sitting by entrance and went into hotel. I immediately left as this was not safe for my family.

The room was outdated. Water pressure wasn’t great. The bed was comfortable but I found out bite marks on my thighs, arms and legs. Soon to find that these bite marks , red marks are called bed bugs. I will not be returning this location any time soon

Visiting family
We've stayed at Fairfield Inn before, We've stayed at other properties by Marriott. This 1 was not worth the price, the rooms were outdated, the bathrooms weren't clean, the bedding didn't fit the bed I was an employee of Marriott and this is definitely not the standard. The toilet you had to hold the handle down to flush it. The bodywaah, shampoo, conditioner were empty.

Disappointing experience
This is a worn facility. The bathroom door would not close and the tile on the floor in the bathroom looked terrible. The coffee in the morning was weak and orange juice was like water. We would not stay in a Fairfield Inn again.

Hoped it would be better
Everything in this hotel felt humid and moist, which unfortunately lead to troubled sleep.
There was also two large parties staying the same night we were, and the hotel had not prepared, so breakfast options were slim.
