FORT SMITH - Members of the Fort Smith Regional Chamber of Commerce were on hand Wednesday to celebrate the grand opening of a brand new hotel. The Fairfield Inn and Suites recently opened at 7601 Phoenix Avenue on the east side of the city.
The Chamber held a ribbon cutting for the facility, and their December Business After Hours networking event in the conference room.
Wikipedia offers a brief description of the chain:
“Fairfield Inn by Marriott is a low-cost, economy chain of hotels that are franchised by Marriott International. The properties are geared towards guests requiring a place to sleep with fewer amenities, thus allowing Marriott to offer lower prices than would otherwise be possible. This is accomplished via cost-saving measures, such as consistent building architecture and bedding, and the omission of a full-service restaurant. However, a complimentary hot breakfast is included”
Room rates at the hotel average between $60.00 and $100.00 per night.
