Fairfield Inn by Marriott Kalamazoo West

Comfortable, Convenient & Concert-Ready

Modern and inviting, Fairfield Inn by Marriott Kalamazoo West is a 3-star hotel located just over 5 miles from Miller Auditorium and other key Kalamazoo music venues. Its relaxed atmosphere, well-kept rooms, and free amenities like bikes and a snack bar make it a great home base for music-lovers in town for a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

With Miller Auditorium only about 10 minutes away by car, getting to and from the show is easy. Guests appreciate the peaceful location — far enough from downtown noise for restful nights, but still close enough to the action. Late check-out at 12:00 PM means you can sleep in after a late-night encore, and free parking makes late arrivals hassle-free. While public transport is limited, rideshare services are readily available.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly crash pad
• Solo travelers checking an artist off their bucket list
• Couples planning a weekend concert getaway
• Fans who want a quiet space to recharge after the show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality accommodations

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant, the hotel features a convenient on-site snack bar perfect for late-night cravings. A variety of dining options, including national chains and local spots, are within a short drive. Free breakfast is a highlight here — served fresh and plentiful, even for those who sleep in a bit after a concert night.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel doesn’t have a bar or live music on-site, it’s just a short drive to Kalamazoo’s downtown nightlife scene. Explore casual pubs, local breweries, and cozy lounges before or after the show. The quiet surroundings of the hotel make it a nice retreat when you're ready to wind down.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the cleanliness of the rooms and the friendly service. The breakfast variety and comfortable beds are also frequently mentioned. Reviewers say it’s a solid value for the price, especially for short stays tied to events.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers have noted that the location is a bit car-dependent, so you’ll likely need to drive or grab a ride to most venues and restaurants. Also, while the hotel is modern, it’s more functional than flashy — don’t expect boutique-style flair.

The Bottom Line

Fairfield Inn by Marriott Kalamazoo West is an ideal pick for concert-goers who want a clean, quiet, and affordable place to crash after the show.
