Escape to Fairborn: Your Dream Stay at Country Inn & Suites!
Escape to Fairborn: Your Dream Stay at Country Inn & Suites! (Or, My Surprisingly Delightful Fairborn Fiasco)
Okay, fine, let's be real. Fairborn, Ohio? Not exactly the first place that pops into your head when you dream of escape. But guess what? Country Inn & Suites in Fairborn, Ohio? Turns out, it might just be the unexpected haven you didn't know you desperately needed. Let me tell you, this isn't just a hotel review, this is a story, a journey, a slight obsession with decent coffee and a comfy bed.
First off, the accessibility. This is important, people, and they seem to get it. I’m talking wheelchair accessible elevators, pathways, the whole shebang. Plus, having facilities for disabled guests is HUGE, and I felt genuinely seen rather than like an afterthought, which, trust me, happens more than you'd think at some places. Score one for feeling actually welcome.
Now, let's get to the good stuff. Internet. Crucial. I need that Wi-Fi, like, yesterday. And they deliver! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? YES! And it actually works? Double YES! (I've been to places where "free Wi-Fi" means a dial-up modem circa 1998… shudder). I also saw options for Internet [LAN] – for the serious gamers or the remote workers who need a rock-solid connection. And for special events you have Wi-Fi for special events. And the Internet services are good. Seriously, basic things, but they matter.
And let's get real, some days you just need to chill, right? The things to do list is surprisingly good, with ways to relax abound. They have a swimming pool (outdoor!) but the BEST part? It's a Pool with a View! Okay, it's overlooking… well, I'm not sure what it's overlooking, but the sky looks amazing and the water is perfect for just floating. And they don't skimp on the massage (ahhhhh). And while I didn't indulge, there was that steamroom… maybe next time, eh? Sadly, no body scrub or body wrap on the facilities list but who cares?!
Now, I’m not a gym rat, but the Fitness center was there, the Gym/fitness facilities seemed to be decent, if you are a gym rat.
Okay, let's talk cleanliness and safety. This is where they really shine, especially in today's world. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays, the works! They take it seriously. Plus, things like Hand sanitizer everywhere, Staff trained in safety protocol, and Cashless payment service were reassuring. Individually-wrapped food options (more on that later) and Safe dining setup really made me feel protected. And I saw they'd gone the extra mile with Shared stationery removed, which is a simple thing that speaks volumes. And that Doctor/nurse on call thing? Always a good sign.
Let's talk Dining, drinking, and snacking. Okay, so this wasn't some five-star Michelin experience, but it was surprisingly tasty and convenient. The Breakfast [buffet] was… well, it was a buffet. But a decent one! I'm talking waffles, scrambled eggs, fruit, and Breakfast takeaway service if you're in a rush. The coffee/tea in restaurant was always on point. And, crucially, there was a Coffee shop. Coffee is life, and they understood this. There's a Bar, perfect for a nightcap, and I saw that there was a Poolside bar as well.
I did notice Restaurants and the possibility of Asian cuisine in restaurant! But the real winner here was the Room service [24-hour]! Yes! I was tired, worn out, and frankly, didn't want to put on pants. I ordered whatever the hell I wanted from the A la carte in restaurant menu and it was delivered straight to my door. That alone is worth a star more. Okay, maybe two stars. I'm a sucker for convenience. And I did have some Desserts in restaurant which were delicious.
Services and conveniences abound, too. Daily housekeeping was flawless, and it was nice to come back to a tidied-up room. The Concierge was helpful, the Elevator was fast, and the Laundry service was a godsend after I spilled coffee all over my favorite shirt (don't judge!). Cash withdrawal was easy, too (because let's face it, you always need cash for something. And the Doorman was a super dude).
The For the kids options looked good too. I didn't travel with children (thank god!) but I did see there was Babysitting service.
Now, Available in all rooms: Okay, so I've stayed in places where "available in all rooms" means a threadbare towel and a flickering lightbulb. This wasn't that. The Air conditioning actually worked. There was a Coffee/tea maker, which, as I've established, is crucial. My room had a Bathtub where I soaked for what felt like hours. There was a Refrigerator, which is always a bonus for leftovers (or late-night snacks). Plus, the Free bottled water was a nice touch. The Blackout curtains were a lifesaver after a long day, and I appreciated the Alarm clock that actually worked. The Desk in my room was a nice size!
One tiny thing, though: they mentioned Pets allowed unavailable. I get it, hotels have to manage noise and space, etc. but I really miss my dog!
Getting around was easy: Car park [free of charge] is a definite win! And I also saw Car park [on-site].
The Big Takeaway?
It wasn't perfect. It wasn't the Ritz. But it was good. It was clean, the staff was friendly, the coffee was drinkable, and the bed was seriously comfortable. And honestly? In a world that's constantly throwing curveballs, sometimes you just need a place that works. This place works.

Byron Bay Studio Escape: Buhwi Bira's Central Aussie Oasis
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't your meticulously planned, airbrushed travel itinerary. This is… well, this is me attempting to conquer a few days in Fairborn, Ohio, at the Country Inn & Suites. Expect typos, tangents, and the occasional existential crisis. Let's DO this…
Fairborn Funk: A Weekend of Wonder (and Mild Disappointment)
Hotel: Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Fairborn South, OH (Pray for me. Seriously.)
Dates: Let's pretend it's… sometime recently. (I am terrible at keeping track.)
Day 1: Arrival and the Glorious Beige Buffet of Doom
1:00 PM - Arrival & Check-In: Okay, so the drive was… long. And I forgot my phone charger. Brilliant. The guy at the front desk at the Country Inn was… nice. He'd been there for like a zillion years. I wonder if he’s ever thought about running away to join the circus? My room key didn't work the first time, which is, like, practically a rite of passage for me. I'm already questioning all my life choices.
2:00 PM - Room Inspection (AKA: The Judgemental Eye): The room. It’s… beige. So much beige. Like, beige on beige on beige. (I swear I saw a beige flower that was trying to blend in.) I’m pretty sure the decor hasn’t been updated since the Clinton administration. But! The bed looks comfy. This is a win, right? Gotta focus on the positives. The bathroom, however, is already showing signs of… age. Let’s just say I'm hoping the shower pressure is adequate.
2:30 PM - Desperate Search for Coffee: After a disastrous drive, I truly need coffee. The in-room coffee setup? Forget about it. Think weak, vaguely-flavored brown water. I need a caffeine hit, stat! I'm pretty sure I saw a gas station a mile or so down the road. Wish me luck!
3:00 PM - The Glorious Beige Buffet (AKA: Lunch): Okay, so I was hungry. Really hungry. So I went through the hotel's "free breakfast" buffet and… well… I guess the word "freebie" is really the key here. It’s the standard fare, but there were weird textures and questionable-looking eggs. I'm going to have to say "no" if you ask me for a recommendation.
4:00 PM - Wandering Aimlessly (or "Getting Lost in Fairborn"): I decided to take a leisurely stroll. Which quickly devolved into me wandering aimlessly wondering if I could really survive without the charger. I saw a strip mall. I saw a Dollar General. I saw a car wash. Truly, Fairborn has become an experience of its own!
7:00 PM - Dinner: (The "I'm Too Tired to Care" Special): I stumbled upon a little pizza place called "Pizza Barn." The pizza was… fine. It's pizza. It filled the void in my stomach, which is the most I could ask. I would go back.
8:30 PM - Television and Existential Dread: Back in the beige room (the comfort is real, the dread is also real), I flipped through the channels. News, news, and more news. I think I'm going to switch to sports. Or maybe just stare at the ceiling. The ceiling is probably the most interesting thing in this room. (I do notice there's a weird stain. The ceiling is certainly no exception in the general beige-ness).
10:00 PM - Sleep: Maybe I'll dream in beige. Pray for me.
Day 2: Dayton Dreams and the Ghosts of Wright-Patterson
7:00 AM - Breakfast of Champions (Maybe): Back to the beige buffet. It's the same. The eggs are still there. I think I'll stick to the fruit this time. Maybe a waffle. The waffle machine is like a carnival ride but with less joy.
9:00 AM - Destination: Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (It's Massive): Okay, this is what I'm actually excited about! The Air Force Museum! I've heard amazing things. It's supposed to be massive and overwhelming, which, honestly, sounds perfect. I drove through what felt like a fortress. My car has never felt so small and… unimportant.
9:30 AM-1:00 PM - Air Force Museum: An Awe-Inspiring Experience: Whoa. Just… whoa. Planes, planes, planes. So many planes! From tiny little biplanes to enormous bombers, it was a sensory overload in the best possible way. I was completely blown away. I took a million photos (and I think I've lost a third of the photos now. I think). I spent like an hour just gawking at the SR-71 Blackbird. Seriously, the engineering AND beauty are just… I'm speechless. The history, the innovation…it was just…amazing. Then, as I got further into the museum, I got completely lost. But the size of the museum is an experience in itself! At the end, I had to go straight to McDonald's to get a snack.
2:00 PM - The Rest of Dayton (or, What Else is There to Do?): After the thrillride of the museum, I realize I have to leave. My brain is still trying to process the museum. I was going to visit a park, explore a small museum, do whatever… but frankly, after the museum, I'm honestly exhausted. I got lost. I spent the afternoon just chilling in the hotel room, and watching something (probably something boring).
6:00 PM - Dinner: (The "I'm Actually Starving" Meal): I was feeling the need for something a little less… beige. I went back to Pizza Barn, but then I decided against it. Instead, I got a burger. It was good. Not gourmet, but it filled that hole in my stomach nicely.
8:00 PM - Relaxation and the Endless Scroll: Watched some TV, caught up on social media (and realized I REALLY needed a phone charger) The endless scrolling is a comfort. The beige room is not.
10:00 PM - Sleep (Again): Pray for a more exciting dream this time.
Day 3: Departure and… (Maybe) a Future Return?
7:00 AM - The Beige Farewell: One last trip to the buffet. Managed to avoid the eggs and the sausages this time. Achievement unlocked!
8:00 AM - Check Out and Escape: The hotel charged me the correct amount, which is a small miracle, given my track record. Okay, time to head home. I'm honestly torn. Part of me is relieved to be getting back to the familiar. But part of me… maybe it's the beige… I'm not sure.
9:00 AM - Drive home (and the post-Fairborn blues): The drive. The charger problem. The thoughts of the trip. Fairborn. The museum. The Beige.
12:00 PM - Arrival Home: I'm home. Safe and sound. And already planning my next trip.
Postscript (or, My Honest Thoughts):
Look, Fairborn isn't the flashiest destination. And the Country Inn… could use some… love. But you know what? I kind of liked it. I needed this. A little bit of beige, a little bit of history, and a whole lot of quiet. Would I go back? Maybe. Especially if they finally upgrade the TV situation. And maybe install a better coffee maker.
And hey, at least I survived. And I'm pretty sure I didn't leave anything important behind… except, oh god, I think I left my phone charger.
Rwanda's Urban Revolution: CityBlue's Game-Changing Vision
Escape to Fairborn: You've Got Questions, I've Got (Mostly) Answers about Country Inn & Suites! - Buckle Up!
So, like, Fairborn? Never heard of it. Is it... a real place? And why this particular hotel?
Okay, okay, deep breaths. Fairborn IS real. It's in Ohio. Don't snicker! I was skeptical too, initially. It sounded like a town you'd make up for a sitcom, you know? But it's legit.
As for *why* this hotel... well, the short answer is, a local business was in town for a convention and I tagged along. The long answer? My expectations before arriving were pretty low – think "generic roadside motel" low. I'm judging already, aren't I? But look, I’d have to say, for the price, it *is* Country Inn & Suites and it *is* Fairborn, it’s a total win! I'm not kidding, my initial room was perfect, it looked exactly like the photos they published, but I'll admit, the second room, after I asked to swap, was a bit more... lived-in. Still, the staff was super nice, they offered more than just a smile too. It was, in a word, convenient.
Plus, the free breakfast. We'll get to that later. That's a whole *thing.*
What about the rooms? Are they clean? (Please say yes!)
Alright, this is important. Cleanliness. My biggest fear, honestly. The first room? SPOTLESS! Like, I actually checked under the bed (don't judge me) and it was A-OK. The sheets were crisp, towels fluffy, the whole shebang. Felt good.
Then, after I found a small problem with the television, that was easily fixed by the staff, I asked to be moved. That's when I encountered the more "lived-in" room. Still, it just needed a bit of extra cleaning. And, to be fair, I probably went in there after the cleaning staff had had a tough day and maybe skipped the corners. But nothing major. My advice? Don't be afraid to politely ask them to fix it or for a room change, they seem eager to please.
Honestly, I've stayed in places that were WAY sketchier and more expensive. For what I paid, I cannot complain.
The Breakfast... Tell me *everything* about the breakfast. Is it the usual sad continental spread?
Okay, buckle up, buttercup. The breakfast. This is where things get... interesting. It *is* a free "continental" breakfast, but they actually *try* here. There are options, okay? Like, a whole waffle maker situation (which I may or may not have over-indulged in – no regrets!).
The usual suspects are present: cereal, muffins, fruit, yogurt. But there were also warm options! Scrambled eggs, sausage links (some days better than others, let's be honest), and sometimes even… wait for it… biscuits and gravy! Look, it’s not Michelin-star quality, but hey, it's free. And it's available. And after the first day, I was hooked. I’m not proud, but I had two waffles. Maybe three. And a lot of coffee. The coffee was decent. I give it a solid B+.
My advice? Go early. Get your waffle on. Embrace the carbohydrates. You're on vacation (or, let's be real, a business trip pretending to be a vacation). Live a little.
What about the amenities? Pool? Gym? Anything to distract me from the existential dread of being in Fairborn?
Okay, let’s tackle this one. There IS a pool. Indoor. I walked by it. It *looked* clean enough, but I'm a germaphobe, so I didn't go in. I heard a lot of small children laughing and having fun. You know, kids and swimming, it’s fun until it isn’t. So, I decided staying with the group was best.
There IS a gym. It's small. Probably has the essentials: treadmill, elliptical, some weights. I didn't use it. My exercise of choice was walking to the waffle maker. That's my routine, deal with it. There's also free Wi-Fi, which is a total necessity in this day and age, right? It worked fine. No complaints there.
But, back to the existential dread... You're on your own with that one. Fairborn itself has… things to do. I hear.
Is there anything *bad* about this place? Be honest!
Alright, alright, let's get real. Everything can't be sunshine and waffles. The first thing, the location. While convenient to some things, it's also, let's say, not exactly "scenic." It’s a strip of various businesses, and you're likely to be driving a lot more than you're walking. If you're expecting a view, you're outta luck.
Then, the noise. Depending on where your room is, you might hear some traffic or the occasional siren. It's not constant, but it's there. And of course, the occasional loud neighbor. Earplugs are your friend. Always. And the walls? Well, they're not exactly soundproof. You might hear your neighbor snore. Or, you know, other things. Just bring earplugs.
And yes, there's the occasional… *hiccup* with the internet. But again, nothing major. No stay is ever perfect, right? This one was close, overall.
Would you stay here again? Be brutally honest.
You know what? Yes. Absolutely. For the price, the convenience, the mostly clean rooms, and the free waffle-making extravaganza... It's a solid choice. I'm not going to lie, I went on a whim and ended up having a great stay. It wasn’t luxurious, it wasn't fancy, but it was… well, it checked all the important boxes. And those waffles… I’m already plotting my return, just for the waffles. And maybe Fairborn. Okay, maybe not Fairborn, but definitely the waffles.
Okay, Last Question: What's the one MUST-DO thing at this hotel? Besides the breakfast... because we get it.
Alright, besides the breakfast (which is, you know... mandatory), here's my pro tip: Use the lobby. It has comfortable seating. If you’re traveling with a group, meet thereHotel Whisperer
