"July stay at Fairfield"

My husband and I stayed at the Fairfield July 15 for three nights. The hotel doors as clean and they have great inclusive breakfast. We went to Monticello first but it is easily accessible to U of VA and the downtown area. But I mainly want to say how helpful and courteous the Employees were.
