Renovated Fairfield Inn & Suites Marathon Florida Keys Makes Its Debut

SPARTANBURG, SC – October 2020 – An ambitious renovation project by OTO Development brings a new Fairfield Inn & Suites to Marathon in the Florida Keys. A total upfit of an existing lodging property, this brand-new hotel offers resort like amenities for an unforgettable vacation experience.

OTO Development, a Johnson Management company, acquired the former Holiday Inn Express Marathon in December 2018.   

“We are delighted to unveil the fresh new look and new brand.  When we purchased this property, we had a distinct vision of how we could enhance this incredible location with modern but relaxed design elements, furthering our partnership with Marriott,” said Corry Oakes, CEO of OTO Development.

Located at 13201 Overseas Highway, about an hour from Key West and spanning Vaca, Fat Deer and Grassy Keys, guests can enjoy a tropical Middle Keys vacation.  Jet skis, kayaks, paddleboards and more are available for rent from Deep Blue Dive and Marina onsite, offering underwater adventures.  A boat ramp at the hotel makes enjoying the clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean easy.  Overlooking the marina, Sparky’s Landing Tiki Bar & Restaurant is a local favorite specializing in hand-crafted cocktails, tasty fresh seafood and live entertainment. 

The new guestroom design is impactful, unique and addresses the functional needs of the Fairfield guest for a seamless experience.  Designed with the modern traveler’s needs in mind, the stylish décor reflects its locale with calming colors and a nod to the beach, air and water.  Well-appointed without overcomplicating the design, each guest room features space to work or relax with a table and chairs, a comfortable couch, refrigerator, coffeemaker and microwave.

Additional hotel amenities include a fitness center, complimentary Wi-Fi and The Market, a sundry and snack shop. 

In addition to the renovation and upfit of the main hotel building, the project includes the addition of 27 waterfront balcony suites with breathtaking intracoastal views, a second outdoor swimming pool and a tiki hut for outdoor social gatherings.

“Our team of conscientious and friendly associates look forward to introducing Marathon visitors to the Fairfield Inn & Suites brand,” says General Manager Michael Weber. “We are focused on providing a warm welcome and heartfelt service to all our guests.”
