Fairfield Inn by Marriott Scranton

Comfortable, Convenient, and Concert-Ready in Scranton

Modern, welcoming, and budget-friendly, the Fairfield Inn by Marriott Scranton sits just a short drive from Scranton’s top entertainment spots, including the University of Scranton and Montage Mountain. With clean, simple rooms and thoughtful amenities like free WiFi and a free breakfast buffet, this 3-star hotel is a solid pick for music fans looking to stay close to the action without the downtown price tag.

Why Concert-goers love it

Thanks to its location about 13 miles from Montage Mountain and just over 5 miles from downtown Scranton, you're never far from the music. Concert-goers appreciate the easy highway access and the fact that the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport is also just 13 miles away—ideal for those flying in for a big show. The 3:00 PM check-in and generous 12:00 PM check-out gives you time to recover after a late night, and the quiet, suburban setting offers a peaceful night's sleep post-concert.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends road-tripping to a show and splitting a room
- Solo travelers catching a bucket-list performance
- Couples extending their concert into a weekend getaway
- Fans who want a quiet space to unwind after the music ends
- Budget-conscious travelers looking for value without skimping on comfort

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t have a full-service restaurant, guests love the daily free breakfast buffet—perfect for refueling after a late night. For other meals, you're just minutes from local dining spots and national chains. Though there’s no 24/7 room service, the area offers several late-night food options within a quick drive or delivery radius.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more of a quiet retreat, you're just a short drive from Scranton's bars, pubs, and live music venues. Whether you're into local breweries or lively lounges, the city's nightlife is close enough to enjoy—without the noise following you back to your room.

What People Say

Guests praise the friendly staff, clean rooms, and excellent value. Reviewers frequently mention the helpful front desk team, especially with local recommendations. The free parking and WiFi are big pluses, and many guests enjoy the added perk of free bike rentals for exploring the area.

Areas for Improvement

This isn't a luxury hotel, so don't expect plush robes or a rooftop bar. Some guests note that the property shows a bit of wear in places, and while it's not walkable to downtown venues, the short drive makes up for it. A few reviewers mention limited nearby late-night dining, so plan ahead if you’re coming back hungry.

The Bottom Line

A solid, no-fuss base for concert-goers who want comfort, convenience, and value just outside the heart of Scranton.
