The Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter in Perry has long been a major destination in Middle Georgia, hosting large events like livestock shows, rodeos, and of course the annual Georgia National Fair. One thing the fairgrounds were missing, though was an on-site hotel. That problem was resolved with the opening of the sterling new Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites, which soft-opened in December and will have its grand opening in April. With a farmhouse style that’s a nod to the region’s agrarian heritage, the 129-room hotel features a restaurant and bar, a pool, and 65,000-square-feet of convention space. It has both standard rooms and rooms with kitchenettes for longer stays for guests attending week-long events at the fairgrounds.
