Fairfiel Inn by Marriott is a lower cost brand of hotels that are franchised by Marriott International. The intended use is for guests requiring simply a place to sleep with fewer amenities. This allows Marriott to offer lower prices than would otherwise be possible. Such cost-saving approaches such as consistent building architecture, bedding, and the omission of a full-service restaurant are employed. Typically a continental breakfast is offered free, featuring a variety of breakfast items.
