Fairfield Inn by Marriott Ann Arbor

Comfortable, Convenient & Concert-Ready in Ann Arbor

Modern and welcoming, the Fairfield Inn by Marriott Ann Arbor is a 3-star hotel offering a clean, reliable stay just a short drive from the city’s top entertainment spots. Located just 2.3 miles from Yost Ice Arena and under 3.5 miles from spots like Hill Auditorium and the University of Michigan, this hotel puts you close to the action without the downtown noise. With an indoor pool, hot tub, and free WiFi throughout, it's a smart pick for music lovers looking to balance energy and ease.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the easy access to multiple venues like Crisler Arena and Hill Auditorium—both less than 3.5 miles away. After a big night out, the 24-hour front desk and late 12:00 PM checkout mean you can take your time recovering. Though not in the middle of the nightlife, its slightly removed location makes for a quieter, more restful stay. And with free parking and easy access to main roads, getting to and from shows is a breeze with a rideshare.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want space to relax and regroup post-show
- Solo travelers checking off a must-see artist
- Couples making a music-filled weekend of it
- Fans needing a quieter space to recharge after the encore
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, the hotel offers vending machines with snacks and drinks—perfect for a quick late-night bite. The complimentary daily breakfast (served well past sunrise) is a welcome perk after a long night. For more substantial meals, there are several walkable eateries nearby, plus delivery options to your room.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re just a short ride from Ann Arbor’s buzzing bar scene. Whether you're heading to a downtown lounge after the show or grabbing a local brew at a nearby pub, you’ll find plenty of post-concert hangouts within a few miles.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the friendly staff, clean rooms, and the hotel’s quiet, relaxing vibe—especially after a busy night out. Concert-goers love the location close to major venues without being right in the middle of the chaos. The hot tub and pool are also a fan favorite for post-show unwinding.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers noted that the property feels a little dated in places, and a few wished for more on-site food options later at night. But overall, guests say it delivers on comfort and convenience.

The Bottom Line

A solid, affordable base for concert-goers who want easy access to Ann Arbor’s venues with a comfy place to unwind afterward.
