WARRENSBURG, MISSOURI – The four-story, 91-room Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott in Warrensburg, Missouri is now open for business. Warrensburg’s newest hotel and only Marriott property will welcome guests with its smart, inventive public space, modern guest room design, and bright and inviting decor.
Located at 355 East Russell Avenue (intersection of Highway 50 and MO-13/Maguire St.), The Fairfield Inn & Suites Warrensburg offers guests convenient access to Whiteman Air Force Base, the University of Central Missouri and Knob Noster State Park.

The Fairfield Inn & Suites Warrensburg 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 Warrensburg area.”
The Fairfield Inn & Suites Warrensburg will operate as a Marriott franchise, owned and managed by Ehrhardt’s Warrensburg LLC. Ehrhardt’s Warrensburg is part of the Ehrhardt family of businesses, with 30 family-owned and operated hotels throughout Missouri, Illinois and Oklahoma.
“We’re excited to see 12 months of hard work finally coming together into a great finished product,” said Tom Koenigsfeld, general manager and part-owner. “We have an incredible team of associates who have dedicated their time, effort and energy into transforming us from a construction site to a hotel. Our team is the reason we are opening ahead of schedule and ready to provide our guests with the service they expect from the Fairfield brand.”
“It’s great to see our Warrensburg project come together into a fantastic finished product,” said Steve Ehrhardt, managing partner. “As a UCM graduate, my family and I have a special connection to the community here and we’re excited about the opportunity to be part of the momentum here in Warrensburg. Our management team and associates have done an excellent job over the last few months of getting us ready to open ahead of schedule.”
From the moment guests arrive, they 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.
Additional hotel amenities include an indoor swimming pool, an exercise room, valet laundry service, complimentary Wi-Fi, as well as fax and copy services. The hotel also offers 300 square feet of meeting space to accommodate functions of up to 20 people.
