They might not be a big corporation hotel but the hospitality is what sold me. Debie was awesome. She treated us and everyone that came through those doors like family. We took our dog on vacation and she offered to care for him when we had to leave him in the room. I highly recommend this hotel if wanna feel like your home.

A bit hard to find due to no sign on building. Staff was helpful and friendly. Room was spacious. Close to Dunes National Park. Short walk to wonderful Mexican Restaurant with outdoor dining. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

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.

The front desk people were very nice but the room has rust and is old and has various worn wood and other materials. The chain lock was pulled out of its socket but I didn’t bother to tell anyone. The room is supposed to be non-smoking but smelled like smoke. When I told the front desk person she said the building is 30 years old and then gave me air freshener spray which did help. Wouldn’t stay there again.

I walked into room and did not even stay here. Complete waste of my money. Totally nasty, dirty room!! Dirty towels left in bathtub, dirty sink, smelled like wet mildew and mold. The whole place was absolutely disgusting! Dirty walls. No way I’d recommend anyone stay or waste their money here!
