Cheyenne's BEST Hotel: Fairfield Inn & Suites Review (Downtown!)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into the Fairfield Inn & Suites Downtown Cheyenne. Forget that polished, corporate fluff – this is the REAL DEAL, unfiltered and possibly a bit messy (just like my travel habits). After a recent stay, my mission is simple: Give you the lowdown, the highs, the lows, the suspiciously clean corners, and whether this place ACTUALLY lives up to the "BEST Hotel" hype.
First Impressions & Accessibility: The Ramp of Destiny (and Wi-Fi!)
Alright, so rolling into Cheyenne, I was buzzing. Needed a decent hotel. First HUGE win: Accessibility. Seriously, I was immediately relieved. Wheelchair accessible? YES. Ramps, elevators that didn't feel like they were from the 1800s, and clear signage. Okay, Fairfield, you passed the initial test. Getting around was a breeze. The elevator's a lifesaver, and honestly, its accessibility is a godsend.
Internet Access? Oh YES! I'm a digital nomad, right? Constant connection is LIFE. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? DOUBLE YES! And it actually worked. I'm tired of hotels promising Wi-Fi that mysteriously disappears into the ether. This stuff handled video calls, streaming, the whole shebang. Internet access – LAN? Don't even think I used that! Wi-Fi in public areas? Check! So, connectivity-wise, you're covered.
Cleanliness & Safety: Germaphobe Approved (Mostly)
Okay, let's get real: I'm a recovering germaphobe. The current climate has everyone on edge, and I was definitely looking for a place where hygiene was a priority. Anti-viral cleaning products? Professional-grade sanitizing services? Sterilizing equipment? They said they did it. The rooms appeared clean. Staff looked like they knew the drill. Daily disinfection in common areas? Yep, saw it happening. My OCD didn't go into full meltdown mode, so that's a win in my book. Rooms sanitized between stays? Probably. The sanitization felt like a safe haven. Room sanitization opt-out available? Unlikely. Just a note on the extra steps.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Adventure! (And My Caffeine Addiction)
Alright, the food situation… it's a bit of a mixed bag. Breakfast [buffet]? Yes, that's what they offer. Warning: It IS what you'd expect. The standard hotel buffet spread: bagels, cereal, some questionable fruit. Breakfast takeaway service? Seems like it. I grabbed a coffee cup of stale OJ on the go. You know how it is. Coffee/tea in restaurant? YES, and thank GOD. My caffeine levels kept me going. Coffee shop? Nope. You won't find a cute artisan coffee shop there, sadly. Restaurants? Well, not in the hotel, but plenty of options nearby. So, if you're looking for high-end cuisine, you might need to venture out. Poolside bar? Well, actually the hotel doesn't have a pool! Lunch and Dinner-wise, no. A la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Asian breakfast, Bar, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant. Not available!
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Cheyenne Adventures Await! (But No Sauna)
Okay, so the hotel itself isn't a spa retreat (sadly, no sauna, no spa, no steamroom, no massage). However, Cheyenne has PLENTY to offer. Fitness center? Yes, it's there. I didn't use it (because, you know, vacation), but it looked reasonably equipped. Swimming pool [outdoor]? No, there's no pool. Things to do outside of the hotel? Cheyenne is loaded with that. Spa/Sauna? No
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter (And the Elevator)
Now, for the nitty-gritty: Air conditioning in public area? Definitely. Business facilities? They have the basics. Cash withdrawal? No idea (I just used the ATM). Concierge? Nope. Contactless check-in/out? Definitely. Convenience store? No. Currency exchange? No. Daily housekeeping? Yup, they kept the place looking tidy. Doorman? Nope. Elevator? ABSOLUTELY. Facilities for disabled guests? YES. Food delivery? You can totally order in. Gift/souvenir shop? Nah. Indoor venue for special events? Yes. Ironing service? They offer it. Laundry service? Yep. Luggage storage? Yep. Meeting/banquet facilities? They're there. Wi-Fi for special events? Yep.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly Vibes
Family/child friendly? Pretty much. I didn't see a ton of screaming kids, but the vibe was relaxed. Babysitting service? Nope. Kids meal? Impossible.
Getting Around: Car Power Charging Station!
Car park [free of charge]? YES! HUGE bonus. Car park [on-site]? Yep. Car power charging station? YES! Another seriously cool feature. Taxi service? Yup. Valet parking? No.
Available in all rooms: The Essentials (and the Bed of Dreams)
Let's talk room specifics: Additional toilet? Nope. Air conditioning? Praise the heavens, yes. Alarm clock? Standard issue. Bathrobes? No. Bathtub? Yes. Blackout curtains? Glorious, sleep-inducing blackout curtains. Carpeting? Yes. Closet? Big enough. Coffee/tea maker? Essential for any morning. Complimentary tea? Yes. Daily housekeeping? Yes. Desk? Perfect for working. Extra long bed? Yep. Free bottled water? Yup. Hair dryer? Present and accounted for. High floor? You can request it. In-room safe box? Yes. Ironing facilities? Yup. Laptop workspace? Yes. Linens? Clean and fresh. Mini bar? Nope! Mirror? Big enough. Non-smoking? The whole place is. On-demand movies? No. Private bathroom? Yes. Reading light? Essential for late-night reading. Refrigerator? Yes. Satellite/cable channels? Plenty of options. Scale? No. Seating area? Yep. Separate shower/bathtub? Yes. Shower? Powerful. Slippers? No. Smoke detector? Important. Socket near the bed? Yes. Sofa? No. Soundproofing? Decent. Telephone? Yes. Toiletries? Adequate. Towels? Fresh. Umbrella? No. Visual alarm? Possibly. Wake-up service? Yes. Wi-Fi [free]? The best part. Window that opens? YES!
My Verdict: Is it REALLY the BEST?
Look, the Fairfield Inn & Suites Downtown Cheyenne isn't a luxury resort. It's a SOLID, reliable, clean, and accessible hotel in a great location. It's perfect if you just want a good deal. It's perfect for the busy traveler. In a city with a lot to offer, a clean, safe room and reliable internet is all you want.
My Recommendation:
I'd absolutely stay here again. It's a very good option for a business trip, or a trip around Cheyenne.

Escape to Paradise: Mangia's Himera Resort, Sicily's Hidden Gem!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to embark on a Cheyenne adventure. And let me tell you, getting this itinerary done is like herding cats. Here's my attempt at a plan for a stay at the Fairfield Inn & Suites Cheyenne Southwest/Downtown – a place I’m hoping is WAY better than the last budget motel I stayed in (don't ask…let's just say I'm scarred by the lingering smell of questionable disinfectant). This is gonna be a messy, beautiful, probably slightly judgmental train wreck of a travel plan.
Cheyenne, WY: A Whirlwind Stay – (Praying for No Bedbugs)
Day 1: Arrival, Anticipation, and the Quest for Caffeine
- Afternoon (ish): Land in Cheyenne (hopefully not in a blizzard, because, Wyoming). Grab my rental car – fingers crossed it's not a beat-up minivan. Immediately head to the Fairfield Inn.
- First Impressions: Okay, first things first: Does the lobby smell like chlorine and desperation? That's a dealbreaker. Praying for a vaguely pleasant aroma and maybe a decent coffee maker in the room… because mama needs coffee. I have a visceral dread of instant coffee, so if they only have that, I might actually cry.
- Room Reveal: Unpack (or at least throw my suitcase on the bed) and survey the scene. Cleanliness is non-negotiable. Bathroom. Shower pressure. Good lighting. These things matter. If I find a rogue hair…oh boy. There will be a strongly worded review.
- Afternoon (still ish): The Great Cheyenne Coffee Crawl Begins.
- Mission: Find a decent local coffee shop. Forget the Starbucks hype. I want character. I want charm. I want a latte that actually tastes like coffee. Maybe a pastry too, because, vacation.
- Potential Targets: I've heard rumors of some decent places – Cheyenne Coffee Company, maybe? Or that place with all the weird art? (This is where my research starts and probably falls apart. I'm a planner, in theory.) The struggle for caffeine is real.
- Evening: Dinner and a little Cheyenne exploration.
- Dinner Debacle or Delight?: Gotta find some grub. I'm thinking something local-ish. I’m terrible at planning in advance, which means I’m probably showing up at a place with no reservations. Wish me luck.
- Contender: I'm intrigued by the idea of some place with classic Western vibes. But I’m also open to a burger joint, or anything that isn't deep-fried.
- Wandering and Wondering: Take a leisurely stroll around downtown…or what's left of my energy after several hours of travel and caffeine consumption. Catch a glimpse of the Capitol? Maybe. I'm also hoping for a few open businesses to window shop, or maybe get a souvenir.
- Dinner Debacle or Delight?: Gotta find some grub. I'm thinking something local-ish. I’m terrible at planning in advance, which means I’m probably showing up at a place with no reservations. Wish me luck.
Day 2: Trains, Plains, and Possibly, Regret (and definitely a late start)
- Morning (eventually): Okay, okay, I'm not a morning person. So, let's be honest, this is more like noon-ish. After I've wrestled with the hotel’s coffee machine and hopefully secured some breakfast, it's time for trains (and maybe some mild panic at my lack of planning).
- Cheyenne Depot Museum: Train Tracks and Time Travel: This is on the list. Trains fascinate me. I always wanted to be on the Orient Express! I am a complete museum nerd (I love ancient history).
- Afternoon: Beyond Cheyenne.
- Option 1: The High Plains Adventure: Maybe drive…somewhere. I’m picturing vast open spaces, maybe some wild horses in the distance. (Reality: Probably more like wind-swept fields and a lot of nothing, but hey, that's the beauty of it, right? Or maybe not.) I'm secretly terrified of open spaces, and getting lost..
- Option 2: Back to the Museum, Possibly: If the High Plains adventure feels too daunting (which it probably will), I might just revisit the Cheyenne Depot Museum. It’s kinda my happy place.
- Evening: Dinner. And maybe an early night. I’m getting older. Sleep is becoming more precious than gold.
Day 3: Cowboys, Cows, and the Departure Lament
- Morning (even later than yesterday, probably around 10 AM): Last gasp of Cheyenne! Depends on my flight schedule, but ideally:
- The Cheyenne Botanic Gardens (if I have time): A botanical garden is supposed to be nice! But maybe a little too "wholesome" for me, at least in the morning.
- Afternoon: Departure.
- Pre-Flight Freakout: Check out of the hotel (glowing review, or a scathing one, depending on the bedbug situation). Return the rental car. Navigate the airport. Say goodbye to Cheyenne.
- Emotional Rollercoaster: Will I be secretly relieved to leave? Will I be unexpectedly sad? Will I wish I’d done more? Probably all of the above.
- Pre-Flight Freakout: Check out of the hotel (glowing review, or a scathing one, depending on the bedbug situation). Return the rental car. Navigate the airport. Say goodbye to Cheyenne.
- Evening: Heading home, and already planning the next trip, knowing full well I’ll probably be exhausted but deeply satisfied.
Messy, Honest, and Absolutely Human Observations:
- The Hotel's Fate: My mood is entirely contingent on the hotel. Like, seriously. A bad hotel experience can ruin a whole trip. I'm praying for cleanliness, quiet, and maybe a decent gym (because, you know, exercise).
- Food Fiascos: I'm notorious for making terrible food choices when traveling. Expect at least one questionable fast-food meal and a desperate search for a salad.
- The Planning Paradox: I overthink everything but rarely plan in advance. This itinerary is a testament to that. I'll probably deviate wildly from it.
- The "I Need More Coffee" Constant: It's not a joke. Coffee fuels everything.
- The Emotional Undercurrent: I'm also prone to moments of deep melancholy and unexpected joy, so expect some dramatic shifts in tone.
- On the Unexpected: Cheyenne, I'm coming. I'm ready for whatever bizarre blend of charm, grit, and potential disappointment you throw my way.
This is just a rough draft, people! But at least you can tell I'm doing the trip. Wish me luck! And by "luck," I mean "no bedbugs."

Cheyenne's BEST Hotel: Fairfield Inn & Suites Review (Downtown!) - Let's Get Real, Folks.
So, is this Fairfield Inn & Suites in Cheyenne *actually* downtown? Because sometimes "downtown" is a generous term...
Okay, let's be brutally honest: YES. It's *actually* downtown. Like, you can *walk* to restaurants and... well, a few other things. Honestly, Cheyenne downtown is a bit... quaint. It's not exactly a bustling metropolis like, say, Chicago. But hey, you can wander around, grab a bite, and pretend you're in a real 'downtown' experience. I mean, it's definitely closer to the action than some hotels that claim the title and are actually a mile from the highway. This? This is *in* it. It’s a victory for location! Think of it as a tiny, friendly downtown with potentially killer steak houses. See, silver linings all around.
The free breakfast – yay or nay? And are the waffles worth the trip? Be specific!
Alright, the breakfast... ah, the breakfast. Honestly, it's the Fairfield Inn breakfast we all know and, well, *mostly* love. It’s the reliable friend in a world of flaky acquaintances. The waffles? Yes. Absolutely. I’m a waffle connoisseur (okay, maybe not, but I like waffles). These aren't the *best* waffles I've ever tasted, but they are consistently good. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and ready for a generous slathering of… whatever you fancy (butter, syrup, the works!). I once saw a kid accidentally drop his entire waffle pile onto the floor and then sob. True story! (I grabbed him a replacement. The breakfast buffet is for everyone, especially waffle-obsessed children!) The rest of the food is standard fare – eggs (sometimes a little dry, let's be honest), sausage (usually decent), cereal, fruit (pray for decent fruit, it's a toss-up), and the usual suspects. But the waffles? The waffles redeem it all. They're a breakfast-y hug. Go for the waffles.
How are the rooms? Are they clean? What about the size?
Cleanliness? Generally, yes! I've stayed there multiple times and never encountered anything truly horrifying. Look, it's not the Ritz, but the rooms are generally well-maintained. I'm a stickler for a clean bathroom, and I’ve always been satisfied (thank goodness). The size is… well, it’s a Fairfield Inn & Suites. Think moderately spacious. Enough room to move around, but don’t expect a ballroom. The beds are comfortable enough; I always sleep well. I slept so well once that I overslept and nearly missed a really important meeting. Mortifying! So, set your alarm, people!
What about the staff? Are they friendly or… sigh… not-so-friendly?
Okay, this is crucial. Staff can make or break a hotel experience. And I’m happy to report… they’re generally great! Friendly, helpful, and genuinely seem to care. I remember one time, I locked myself out of my room (brilliant, I know), and the front desk person was incredibly understanding and got me sorted out in, like, two minutes. Saved me from a full-on panic attack. Another time, I had a minor issue with the TV, and they sent someone up immediately to fix it. They aren't robots. They are real, and that matters. In my experience, the staff at this hotel consistently go above and beyond, which is a massive win.
Do they have a pool? Gimme the deets! Fitness center?
They do! They have a pool and a hot tub. It's not Olympic-sized, to be clear. It's a standard hotel pool. Clean, well-maintained, and perfect for a quick dip after a long day (or a long drive). The hot tub is, well, a hot tub. It's wonderful to soak in. I always make time for a soak. Just be wary of the chlorine smell, because, well, it's a pool. Fitness center? Yes, they have one. I'm not usually a gym person but I have used it. The equipment is basic, but sufficient if you want to get in a workout. I usually prefer exploring Cheyenne but it's a decent option after a long day of travel, if you are feeling energetic. Seriously, it's nice to have the option.
Parking. Is it a nightmare? Because I hate parking nightmares.
Okay, here’s the lowdown on parking. It *can* be a little tight, especially if the hotel's busy. They have a decent-sized lot, but it's not gigantic. I wouldn't call it a "nightmare" unless you're arriving super late at night and it's a packed house. Worst-case scenario? You might have to park a bit further from the entrance. A small price to pay, in my opinion. Honestly, I've always managed to find a spot, but yeah, be prepared to possibly walk a bit. Keep a good mood on, it's worth it! And remember, Cheyenne isn’t exactly known for its treacherous parking situations, so there's that.
Anything else I should know? Any hidden gems or dealbreakers?
Okay, here’s a few extra things to consider... First, the location is fantastic. Seriously, being able to walk to restaurants and some shops is a huge plus. Second, the wifi is generally decent (because, you know, we rely on the internet, right?). Third, the elevators can get a bit slow during peak times. So... patience, young padawan! Fourth (and this is a biggie for me): The noise levels are generally pretty good. I've never been bothered by excessive noise from other rooms or the street, which is a big win for sleep quality. Fifth, and this is purely subjective, but I love the decor. It's clean, modern, and not overly fussy. It's a hotel, not a museum, and I appreciate that. I want somewhere I can relax, and this fits the bill. Really, for the price, and based on my many stays, this is a solid choice. You won’t regret it. Book it!
