Good location with lots of restaurants within a short walking distance. The wifi was slow and it throttled. The ice machine was always almost empty.

For the price, this an excellent choice to stay at Fairbridge Inn. We absolutely recommend this place because the staff, especially Debbie is very friendly and is always willing to help with anything you might need. She is one of the biggest reasons why we chose to come back there multiple times, when we’ve needed a place to stay. We like the fact too that it’s a very safe place and again, for the price the room and accommodations are affordable, clean and comfortable. This is our go to place whenever we’ve needed a place to stay. Big thanks to Debbie and the owners and staff for making every stay a great experience for us and our cat.

If you need to stay the night I'd recommend it for the price. However the room itself was worn - the tables, shower even the toilet, the quality of the TV was poor too its reminiscent of 2000s pre-HD cable. But the bed was clean and thats important. Though the bathroom could've used another pass - found some hair in the drain trap. Its a fine place for the night.
