Fairfield Inn Grapevine

This property located off of Highway 121 in Grapevine provides a very good all around experience for the budget conscious traveler.

Conveniently located a few miles from the DFW Airport, the hotel also benefits from it's close proximity to the mammoth Gaylord Texan hotel which is less than 10 minutes away. For less than $100 a night on this trip I got a clean comfortable room, free wi-fi internet access and a free breakfast. The breakfast isn't fancy, fruit, cereal, bread, bagels, waffles and oatmeal along with the obligatory juice and coffee, but it is perfect for a person who isn't too fussy about their food.

The hotel is also close to the Grapvine Mills Mall which offers just about everything a person is looking for.

My only complaint was that it doesn't have an automatic sliding door at the entrance which forces you to struggle a bit when bringing luggage in and out of the hotel. Why they opted for the old fashioned non mechanical doors is a mystery, but only a minor irritant.

You can't go wrong by staying here and you can earn points in the highly regarded Marriott Rewards program which is another plus.

The next time business brings me to the Grapevine area, I plan to pay another visit to the Fairfield.
