The Spotlight on Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Clear Lake

Your Clear Lake Concert Basecamp

Modern, clean, and conveniently located, Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Clear Lake is a 3-star hotel that offers a reliable and comfortable stay just minutes from the heart of Clear Lake. With Mason City Municipal Airport only 0.6 miles away, it's easy to get in and out—even for quick overnight trips to catch your favorite artist.
Expect a no-fuss, well-maintained stay with everything you need to recharge between shows and travel days.

Why Concert-goers love it

Live music fans appreciate this hotel’s quiet location just outside the main bustle, offering a peaceful wind-down after a loud night. With a 3:00 PM check-in and a generous 12:00 PM check-out, there’s flexibility to rest up before or after the show. It's also a short drive or ride-share away from top Clear Lake music venues, making it a convenient launchpad for concert nights.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a clean and quiet spot to crash
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list performance
  • Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music fans who still want quality

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site bar or restaurant, the hotel offers a free hot breakfast—a major perk for late-night revelers needing a next-day boost. The surrounding area includes walkable casual dining spots and fast food for late bites, and the staff is happy to recommend local favorites. No 24/7 room service, but there are vending machines for quick snacks.

Nightlife Options

Clear Lake may not be a party capital, but you’ll find laid-back local bars and lounges nearby to keep the night going post-show. While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music or a lounge, it offers a peaceful retreat after the fun.

What People Say

Guests highlight the friendly staff, cleanliness, and quiet atmosphere as top reasons to return. Many reviewers note that the hotel is in a great location for concerts and events, especially with how close it is to the airport and local attractions.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests have mentioned that the lack of an on-site restaurant or bar is a downside, especially after a long night out. Others noted that while the hotel is modern and clean, it’s a bit basic compared to trendier downtown spots.

The Bottom Line

Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Clear Lake is a clean, quiet, and convenient hotel that hits all the right notes for concert-goers looking to rest and recharge near Clear Lake’s music scene.

Liked: The breakfast selection. Large bathroom.

I was already in town for a funeral in Thornton.I still paid for both nights. Would have been nice to at least get 1 night refunded.

I wish the location wasn’t...

Liked: The fitness center was excellent. Breakfast was also great and included many gluten free options. The room was comfortable for a two day stay.
Disliked: Upon check-in, the desk clerk didn’t direct us to our room or give us any details about breakfast. He handed me the room key and that was it.
