ASHLAND, VA. – The 103-room Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Richmond Ashland (Virginia) celebrated its opening. Located only 15 minutes from downtown Richmond, and 23 miles from Richmond International Airport, the Fairfield Inn & Suites Richmond Ashland will offer guests convenient access to Richmond International Raceway, James River Cellars Winery, Hanover County Airpark, Harley Davidson, and Bass Pro Shop. The Fairfield Inn & Suites Richmond Ashland (11625 Lakeridge Parkway) will operate as a Marriott franchise, jointly owned by Holladay Properties of South Bend, Indiana and Guest Services, Inc. of Fairfax, Virginia. Guest Services will also manage and operate the property.

“We are truly pleased with the progress and continued development in and around Winding Brook. Today’s opening of the Fairfield Inn & Suites Richmond Ashland is another shining example of our commitment to this wonderful community, and the great state of Virginia. We will be proud to serve our valued guests via this flexible, functional and accommodating property in partnership with Guest Services for many years to come,” stated John Phair, CEO of Holladay Properties. “The thoughtful design of the hotel draws inspiration from nature to create a hotel environment with a modern, bright new design that has been a very rewarding process for the team to bring to fruition through the planning, construction and now opening.”
“As a business headquartered in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and celebrating our Centennial in 2017, we couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity to open this amazing new property with our valued and trusted partner, Holladay Properties,” commented Gerry Gabrys, CEO of Guest Services, Inc. “Expanding our award-winning hotel portfolio with a property in the Commonwealth was an easy decision because of the Fairfield brand’s heritage of great service and warm welcomes, which is congruent with Guest Services’ heritage and culture. As with many of our other spectacular hotel properties, we have embraced the opportunity to connect the indoor spaces of the hotel with the outdoors, and have established a property surrounded by natural beauty. Our team of talented hospitality professionals embodies the southern charm of the Richmond area, and we greatly look forward to warmly welcoming guests to our property.”
Hotel amenities include an inviting living area in the lobby, signature “smart” room decor, a 24/7 Corner Market, an indoor swimming pool, an exercise room, lobby bar, valet laundry service, complimentary Wi-Fi, as well as fax and copy services. The hotel also offers 750 square feet of space to accommodate functions for up to 50 people.
The 90-room Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott in DuPont, Washington opened with its smart, inventive public space and guest room design, and its bright and inviting decor.

Conveniently located between downtown Olympia and downtown Tacoma, the hotel offers guests convenient access to Chambers Bay Golf Course, Washington’s State Capitol, Joint Base Lewis-McChord and the Puget Sound.
“Delivering both function and comfort, our new design and decor elevate the Fairfield brand, setting a new standard in the moderate tier category,” said Shruti Buckley. “At Fairfield Inn & Suites, we provide an easy, positive and productive travel experience, as well as the promise of consistent and reliable service at an exceptional value. The Fairfield Inn & Suites Tacoma DuPont is a truly stunning example of the brand’s contemporary look and feel, and we are pleased to introduce Fairfield Inn & Suites hotels in the DuPont area.”
From the moment they arrive, guests are welcomed by the hotel’s modern, bright new design features, including an updated exterior with a signature tower, a curved porte-cochere and an inviting glass entrance that ushers them into the hotel. Once inside, guests experience the hotel’s open public space featuring natural light and views throughout the lobby to connect the indoors with the outdoors. Consistent with the Fairfield brand’s heritage of great service and a warm welcome, guests are greeted by associates who can easily move from behind the angled front desk to interact and answer questions.
In the lobby area, guests can choose to be productive, relax or enjoy breakfast or a snack in a modern and flexible environment featuring a vibrant, natural color palette of greens, blues and oranges. Guests can also unwind in the lobby’s inviting living area – whose focal points include a natural stone hearth, organic-shaped sofa and lounge chair, and unique local features – or they can grab a drink or snack item from the 24/7 Corner Market.
The breakfast area’s signature farm table provides a central gathering place where guests can watch television, meet up with colleagues or get work done. In the morning, guests can enjoy complimentary hot breakfast, choosing from oatmeal, scrambled eggs, sausage, make-your-own waffles and other healthy items, such as fruit, yogurt, and whole grain cereals and breads.
The signature “smart” room decor warmly welcomes guests into a comfortable, productive and restful environment. Flexible and functional, the guest room includes a well-designed work area, an ergonomic chair, task lighting and electrical outlets where guests need them. A curved, mobile desk enables guests to create their own work space, while also optimizing their television viewing.
Inspired by nature, the hotel’s thoughtfully designed rooms and suites place the living and working area near the window to allow for more natural light and views. Building on this natural design, the room decor features organic patterns and fresh colors, blending wood tones with bright pops of color. The new design also places the sleeping area toward the middle of the room, helping to give guests a better night’s sleep on plush mattresses, as well as easier access to the bathroom and wardrobe. The bright, spacious living area also offers a comfortable couch, refrigerator, coffeemaker and microwave.
