Canton's BEST Kept Secret: Fairfield Inn & Suites!
Fairfield Inn & Suites, Canton OH: My Secret Stash (Shhh… Don't Tell!) - A Review That's Actually REAL
Okay, Canton, Ohio! I'm spilling the beans. Forget those generic chain hotels you're probably eyeing. I'm talking about the Fairfield Inn & Suites… that sweet, sweet secret almost nobody knows about. And believe me, it's a good one. I'm talking about a place that's got everything you need, and then some. And honestly? I'm almost reluctant to tell you about it, because I don't want it to get TOO popular. But…duty calls! Here's the lowdown, warts and all, because let's face it, nobody's perfect (except maybe this hotel, sometimes).

Accessibility: Right on the Money! (Mostly.)
Now, I'm not personally using a wheelchair, BUT I've seen a lot of places claim to be accessible and… well, let's just say it's a joke. This place? Pretty legit. Wheelchair accessible rooms? Check. Elevators? Yep. Accessibility in public areas? Absolutely. They've clearly put some thought into making things easy for everyone. BUT (and there's always a but, right?), sometimes, the access for the breakfast buffet can get a little… crowded. A minor nudge here to widen that space!
On-Site Accessible Restaurants/Lounges: Mostly a “No” but who cares?
Honestly, they don't have an on-site restaurant or lounge. This isn't the Ritz. But it's a Fairfield! You get a great breakfast going, and it's a step up from the usual hotel fare.
Internet Access – The All-Important Wi-Fi!
Okay, this is crucial. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? YES. A HUGE YES. And it's actually good Wi-Fi. No buffering, no dead zones. I could actually work from my room – a godsend. There's also Internet access – LAN if you're feeling old-school (or need a super-secure connection), but honestly, the Wi-Fi is so good, you probably won't need it. There is also Wi-Fi in public areas, not that you'll need that since you've got it in the rooms.
Things To Do, Ways to Relax (And My Rambling Thoughts!)
- Fitness Center: Yep, got it. I confess, I intended to use it…but after a long day, the comfy bed called my name louder. Maybe next time!
- Swimming Pool: Okay, this is a big one. Swimming Pool [outdoor]? Yes sir! It's heavenly after a long day of…well, whatever you do in Canton. And it's well-maintained.
- Sauna, Spa, Steamroom: Nope, this ain't a full-blown spa hotel. This is a practical hotel and a great one for its kind.
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Safe and…Relieved
Look, the world’s a mess, right? But this hotel is clearly trying. Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Daily disinfection in common areas? Check. Rooms sanitized between stays? Double check. (And believe, I looked!) Hand sanitizer is everywhere. The staff is super on top of everything. I actually felt comfortable. And as someone who’s usually a germaphobe (don't judge!), that’s huge praise. Honestly, it made me feel relieved.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (My Stomach's Perspective!)
- Breakfast [buffet]: Okay, this is where the Fairfield really shines (and where it can get a little crowded, like I said). Breakfast service? Absolutely. There's a good mix of stuff. Asian breakfast? Not this time. Western breakfast? YES. Buffet in restaurant? You betcha. Eggs, waffles, cereal, fruit… and decent coffee! Enough to get you going. The layout could be a tiny bit better, when it's crowded, but hey, I'm not complaining.
- Coffee shop: Nope. You usually have the coffee at breakfast, but no real "coffee shop" thing.
- Restaurants, Poolside bar, Snack bar: Nope to all those, unfortunately.
- Other points of note: Breakfast takeaway service? Yeah! Handy if you want to grab something on the go. They also use Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, which is very important, and they allow A la carte in restaurant, though the selection is limited. They also have Vegetarian restaurant options, which is neat!
Services and Conveniences: They Thought of Almost Everything!
- Air conditioning in public area? Check. (Obvious, but necessary.)
- Business Facilities? Yes. They have the usual stuff: a business center with a Xerox/fax in business center.
- Cash withdrawal? Uh…no. But there's probably an ATM nearby.
- Concierge? No Not a super high-end place, but everything is very efficient.
- Contactless check-in/out: This keeps up with the times!
- Convenience Store? Yes! Perfect for grabbing snacks and drinks.

- Elevator? Duh.
- Food Delivery?: Yes! (Good to know for those late-night cravings.)

For the Kids (And the Kid in Me)

Access, Safety, and Security – Because Peace of Mind Matters
- CCTV in common areas? Yes. Makes you feel secure.
- Fire extinguisher? Obviously!
- Front desk [24-hour]? Bingo. They're always there, day or night.
- Hotel chain? Yep. But it doesn't feel like a sterile chain hotel. It has personality.
- Non-smoking rooms? Absolutely.
- Smoke alarms: Obvious, but important!
- Security [24-hour]: Peace of mind!
Getting Around
- Car park [free of charge]: HUGE plus! Free parking is getting rarer and rarer these days.
- Airport transfer?: No. You're on your own there.
- Taxi service?: Nope. But you can probably get a ride-share.

Escape to Rio Rancho: Your Perfect Days Inn Getaway!
Okay, buckle up buttercup. Because this isn't some perfectly sanitized travelogue. This is me, hitting up the Fairfield Inn & Suites in Canton, Ohio, and letting the chaos wash over me. Here we go…
Subject: Canton, Ohio: Where My Hopes and My Wallets Go to Die (But Hopefully Not Literally)
Day 1: Arrival and the Illusion of Control
1:00 PM - ARRIVAL. I’m picturing myself, cool, calm, collected, like a seasoned world traveler. Reality? I arrive at the Fairfield Inn in Canton looking like a deranged otter that's been left out in the sun too long. My GPS tried to take me through someone's backyard. Apparently, Canton's street signs are invisible to technology.
**1:15 PM - CHECK-IN. ** Okay, first impressions. The front desk lady is bright – like, suspiciously bright. Genuine? Probably. But I'm already suspicious of anything that isn't a deep-fried potato. The lobby is, well, it's a Fairfield Inn. Cleanish. Carpet that looks like it's seen some things. And the smell… a potent cocktail of chlorine, air freshener, and something vaguely… waffle-y. That's a good sign, right? They have that free breakfast.
**1:45 PM - THE ROOM. ** Okay, the room. It's… adequate. Twin beds. I really wanted a king, but hey, I'm not paying for two people, so I guess I'll just roll around in the middle of one. The TV is ancient. Probably older than me. And it's the kind where you have to push the buttons really hard. I'm already plotting my escape to the pool.
2:00 PM - DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT RELAXATION. I attempt a nap. Fail. The air conditioner sounds like a disgruntled badger. Plus, the excitement is keeping me awake. What if I'm missing the peak experience of Ohio?
3:00 PM - EXPLORATION (of the Hallway). I pop out for a moment, just to stretch my legs. This hall way smells like waffles. I love waffles.
3:15 PM - THE POOL CONUNDRUM. Okay, pool time. It looks… okay. The water is clear, but I’m pretty sure I saw a rogue tile. And the chlorine smell is even stronger here. I will survive. I'll risk the potential skin rash. This is for the vibe, baby! And honestly, the fact that I'm the only one here adds to the tranquility of the spot.
4:00 PM - Dinner. I ate some weird gas station food.
**6:00 PM - **I pass out in the middle of a movie, that I fell asleep during the previews of.
9:00 PM - Attempt to Sleep I attempt to sleep again. It doesn't work. The AC badger is still going. The hallway is the source of too many intriguing noises.
Day 2: Football, Food, and a Near-Death Experience (Metaphorically Speaking)
- 8:00 AM - THE FREE BREAKFAST RITUAL. Oh, lord. Free breakfast. This is where the magic happens. The waffles, folks. The waffles. They tasted artificial. and… glorious. I might have poured a little too much syrup. And the coffee? Strong enough to strip paint. Bless them.
- 8:30 AM - I am going back for seconds.
- 9:00 AM - THE PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME. This is why I'm here, right? The sacred ground of pigskin. I am not a huge sports fan, but I was so curious about it. I have always liked football and have gone to one or two games in my day, but I have never really followed it. And I learned some interesting things. My favorite part? The busts. The faces! The legends! The sheer intensity of some of those gazes! I could have stayed there for days. I also bought a ridiculous foam finger that I'm probably going to lose before I leave this building.
- 12:00 PM - LUNCH- Lunch at an Ohio Diner (Name Purposely Omitted for the Sake of My Insanity). I have the best darn burger I think I have ever had and it was cheap. The atmosphere was lively, and the waitress was kind and very friendly. I love these small towns.
- **2:00 PM - **I attempt to find some of the local shops, but I find my way back to the motel. I'm starting to get tired.
- 5:00 PM - Dinner from a restaurant I should have skipped.. I got some weird food, and I just want to go back to the hotel.
- **10:00 PM - SLEEP. ** I sleep. Peacefully. The badger in the AC has calmed down. Or maybe I have.
Day 3: Departure and Reflections (Sort Of)
- 8:00 AM - Breakfast. I'm on a mission. Last day, people! More waffles! This time, I add whipped cream.
- 9:00 AM - CHECK OUT. I am shocked that I survived. I swear I saw a ghost.
- 9:30 AM - DEPARTURE. Driving away. Contemplating the meaning of life. Canton… you were a ride. You were messy. You were weird. And, for some reason, I think I kind of liked it. Maybe I'll be back.
- Final Thoughts: The Fairfield Inn was… a Fairfield Inn. It served its purpose. The Pro Football Hall of Fame? Fantastic! The food? Hit or miss, baby! Canton? It's… Canton. Worth it? Absolutely. Would I do it again? Probably. But next time, I'm bringing earplugs and my own hot sauce. And maybe a hazmat suit for the pool.
