The hype
Staff is incredibly kind and helpful, but the building itself is showing its age with worn carpets and loud appliances.
Fairfield Inn By Marriott Kankakee Bourbonnais
$94-130/ noche
Reserva esto si You're a parent visiting Olivet Nazarene University or a road warrior needing a predictable pit stop off I-57.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Walking distance to Northfield Square Mall and movies
- Reliable free hot breakfast
- Friendly staff that remembers repeat guests
Resumen rápido: A functional, aging roadside hotel currently battling through a major renovation that has shut down the pool.
Reseñado por @WayfaringAimlessly: I stayed here during a business trip and the desk setup was a lifesaver. Having the microwave right there meant I could work and eat without hassle. The beds were that reliable Marriott comfort I look for. Solid choice if you need a productive stopover.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
The 'heated indoor pool' is currently a construction zone, and the 'soundproof' rooms are no match for the I-57/Route 50 traffic mix.
- You need to be within 5 minutes of Olivet Nazarene University
- You want to walk to dinner or a movie without driving
- You are a Marriott loyalist just needing a bed and a shower
Limpieza y Mantenimiento
7.2
- Housekeeping: Daily service is generally good, but missed spots in corners are common.
- Bathroom hygiene: Functional but aging; reports of rusty fixtures and slow drains.
- Maintenance: The biggest issue. Peeling wallpaper and worn carpets are frequently mentioned.
- Linens & towels: Standard Marriott quality — crisp enough, but not luxurious.
- Odors & scents: Generally neutral, though some hallways can smell 'stuffy' or like old carpet.

5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The 'saltwater' pool is often colder than advertised (when it's actually open).
💡Water pressure in the shower is surprisingly good, a rare win.
💡The in-room fridges can hum loudly enough to wake you up.
💡You can walk to 'Tucci's' Italian restaurant in 2 minutes — it's a local staple.
💡The elevator is slow; take the stairs if you're able.
