FairBridge Inn & Suites Dupont

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and comfortable. I was happy to have air conditioning with a fan which kept the room cool and comfortable to sleep in. Check in and out was quick and easy. Breakfast was mediocre at best with the only protein being a lump of eggs I think was supposed to be scrambled. The location was great though and within easy walking distance of several food options. Overall no issues just don't expect a great breakfast."
