Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Dallas East

Comfort Meets Convenience in East Dallas

Modern and welcoming, Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Dallas East offers a reliable and relaxed stay just outside downtown Dallas. Located off East R.L. Thornton Freeway, this 3-star hotel is less than 8 miles from major Dallas attractions and concert venues, with easy highway access to get you to the show and back with minimal hassle. Guests enjoy clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and perks like free WiFi, a seasonal outdoor pool, and a well-equipped fitness center.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a solid pick for fans heading to concerts in downtown Dallas or Deep Ellum. Just 15–20 minutes from major venues like the American Airlines Center, South Side Ballroom, and The Factory in Deep Ellum, you'll be close to the action without the downtown noise. The hotel offers private parking and easy freeway access, so getting to and from shows is a breeze—even late at night. With a 3:00 PM check-in and a generous 12:00 PM checkout, you’ve got plenty of time to sleep in after a long night of music.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends traveling together who want a convenient, budget-friendly base
• Solo travelers catching a bucket-list tour stop
• Couples making a weekend concert date out of it
• Fans looking for a quieter spot away from post-show crowds
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and amenities

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the surrounding area offers several fast-casual and local dining spots within a short drive. The hotel serves a free hot breakfast perfect for post-concert recovery, even if you're not an early riser. Though room service isn’t available, there are nearby late-night dining options and delivery services that can easily reach the hotel.

Nightlife Options

This hotel is more about winding down than turning up—but that’s perfect for some concert-goers. It doesn’t have its own bar, but you're a quick drive from the nightlife of Deep Ellum, known for its live music venues, craft cocktail bars, and after-parties. Head there before or after your show for the full Dallas music scene experience.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the hotel’s cleanliness, quiet atmosphere, and helpful staff. Reviewers love the comfy beds, easy parking, and convenient location for getting to central Dallas without paying downtown prices. Many mention feeling safe and relaxed, even when returning late from concerts.

Areas for Improvement

It's not the trendiest or most luxurious hotel in town, and if you're looking to walk to venues or bars, this probably isn't your top pick. Some guests note that the immediate area doesn’t offer a ton to do on foot—but if you’ve got a car or rideshare app, you’re set.

The Bottom Line

If you want a clean, affordable, and convenient base for your Dallas concert adventure, Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Dallas East hits the right notes.
