Had a reservation for a few nights cancelled and went elsewhere as I would not arrive till 2:30 AM why should I stay in a place that is not open. Also called the restaurant about a family me explained they are on strict covid protocols so no family can sit together. The bit back about a birthday party. Staff are crabby and lack of 24 made me and the family go book elsewhere to stay. I take back previous ratings about this place
I have stayed here for a business trip and I must say it has been an absolute pleasure.
The food has been excellent, the staff all friendly and knowledgeable.
All in all great value for money and an absolute gem of a place to stay.
This was our first trip to Sussex and, as we noted the motel is close to the main provincial highway, we asked the reservation clerk if our room would be away from the noise of the heavy traffic. We were assured that it was. It definitely wasn't as we had an unobstructed view from our room with the road less than 50 yards away. As the other motels in the area were booked for that Saturday night we had no choice but to stay. On entering the room we were hit with a strong odor and a very noisy a/c unit (ear plugs were required for sleeping). The front desk advised us that the smell must have been their cleaning materials.... it never went away and we would describe it as stale, almost moldy in nature. The room was very dated with few lights or outlets. The wifi was extremely slow. The attached restaurant was part of our dinner plan but it was so busy we ordered pizza which came by taxi with a $9 fee due to the distance from town. We managed to book another motel for our next 2 nights (Amsterdam) for a comparable price including hot breakfast and were amazed at the difference in quality. We will not be returning to the Fairway Inn.
My husband and I booked the honeymoon/anniversary suite for a one night stay, purely for the inn room jacuzzi.
I'm not familiar with how loud they are supposed to be, but we ended up not using it, since we would have to yell at each other when it was on.
The room was big, bright, and very clean, but the bed was what ruined our stay. It had a 4 inch think supersoft foam topper, which was deceptively inviting. After about 20 minutes, we were realizing the swaybacked mattress was going to be horrid. It was.
Breakfast was nice from JJ's, called over and had it done up to-go.
I would return, for sure, but only when there is a new mattress.
While the guest rooms may be a bit dated, the friendly and welcoming staff more than make up for it. I have stayed at most of the hotels in the Sussex area and overall prefer this one when I am in the area. We recently used the hotel for our group of 30 and they all seemed to enjoy it, especially the attached 1950’s style diner. The free plated breakfast in the morning is a great way to start the day. I will continue to choose this location when I am in the Sussex area in the future.
Thanks for the excellent review. We greatly appreciate your support. We look forward to seeing you on your next visit to Sussex.
