FAIRFIELD BY MARRIOTT EDMONTON NORTH, Edmonton

The hotel is on 97th Street, a main arterial road that quickly connects to the Yellowhead Highway, Anthony Henday ring road, and downtown Edmonton. Edmonton International Airport is about 34 km away. The surrounding Griesbach neighbourhood offers a pleasant walking area with a park nearby, and a wide variety of restaurants and shops are within a few minutes' walk, including a Shoppers Drug Mart. Free on-site parking is available with a reservation, making car travel practical. The hotel's location is well-suited for those visiting Chartwell Retirement Residence or attending events at nearby rinks.

Rooms include a private bathroom (some with a bathtub available by request), air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV with streaming services, tea and coffee maker, and a private entrance. The hotel offers various room types, including family rooms, studios with a king bed and sofa bed, and wheelchair-accessible rooms with roll-in showers. While many rooms have been recently renovated and feel clean and modern, some rooms can feel compact. Noise from hallways or adjacent rooms can be an issue, so a quieter floor away from the main road may be preferable for light sleepers. Beds are generally described as comfortable by many, though some have found them too soft or firm.

A free continental buffet breakfast is offered each morning, typically including scrambled eggs, omelettes, pancakes, bacon or sausage, waffles, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal, bagels, pastries, coffee, and juice. Coffee is also available throughout the day. While the breakfast is generally well-regarded for its variety and value, some have noted inconsistent quality on certain days or items running low later in the service period. There is no on-site restaurant, bar, or room service; however, numerous dining options are a short walk from the hotel.

The indoor pool is heated and features a two-story water slide that is popular with families. The pool area can be heavy on chlorine at times. The fitness centre includes basic equipment and is free for guests. There is no hot tub or spa on site. The hotel also offers free bicycle rentals for guests to explore the area. All wellness facilities are included with your stay.

WiFi is free and available in all rooms. The 24-hour front desk offers express check-in/out, and a business centre is available for guest use. Additional services like dry cleaning and laundry are available for an extra charge. Meeting and banquet facilities can accommodate up to 50-60 people.
