The hotel at 1940 Post Road in Warwick, Rhode Island sits along the principal hospitality corridor serving T.F. Green International Airport. The property has operated under multiple national flags over its history. Older Shadowlands-era paranormal compilations identify it variously as Fairfield Inn Marriott and La Quinta Inn; current operations are under the Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites brand.
No independent published architectural or developmental history of the building has surfaced in available sources. Its function has remained consistent — a multi-story limited-service hotel serving airline crews, business travelers, and tourists transiting Providence — across rebrands.
The property is one of several lodging options along Post Road serving the airport.

The paranormal reporting on the Warwick airport hotel originates principally in regional aggregator entries and a Long Island Paranormal Investigators page covering the property under earlier branding. Reports describe several distinct phenomena clustered on specific floors. The most consistently described figure is an apparition of a man in farmer's clothing, reported on the fifth floor at approximately 4:00 a.m. by guests and staff. Separately, the sound of children running on the fourth floor has been described in periods when no children were registered to the hotel. Reports also cite cold spots in a small number of guest rooms and unidentified voices captured by paranormal investigators. Aggregator pages assign specific death narratives to specific room numbers, but those death claims do not appear in Rhode Island newspaper archives or vital records and should be treated as unverified folklore rather than documented incidents at a currently operating hotel. The current Marriott management does not promote a paranormal narrative, and the property is not part of regional ghost-tour itineraries.
