Plenty of space in the guestrooms.
Each of the guestrooms at The Fairways Hotel offer lots of room for guests to move about and stretch their legs. Not only are these spacious rooms comfortable, but they come with plenty of storage for luggage and other incidentals so guests won't be tripping over them.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Property is a little rough around the edges.
This hotel has a well worn feeling that could be improved with a little TLC. A deeper cleaning in the rooms as well as new carpeting and furnishings could improve guest experience a lot. Modern facilities in the en suite bathrooms are also needed.
negative:
Rates aren't always worth it.
Prices for a room at this hotel vary throughout the year and tend to inflate during peak seasons. While the rates change, the quality of a stay remains the same. As a result, guests who stay during these increased prices don't feel they are getting their money's worth out of the hotel.
negative:
Restaurant doesn't provide the best experience.
The Fairways Hotel is not the best place to grab a bite, according to reviews. Menus at the on-site restaurant are slim on choices, and the meals that are offered are generally hit and miss on quality.
