Modern, clean, and quietly stylish, the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Albany East Greenbush is a great base for concert-goers looking to stay close to the action without the city-center noise. Located just a few miles from downtown Albany, this 3-star hotel offers an easygoing vibe with thoughtful amenities like free WiFi, free bikes, and a 24-hour front desk to welcome you at any hour.
Guests enjoy easy access to the Albany-Rensselaer Amtrak station (3.5 miles away) and major venues like the Times Union Center and The Egg, both under 7 miles from the hotel. With express check-in and check-out, your schedule stays as flexible as the performers you came to see.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel strikes the perfect balance between proximity and peace. You're just a short ride from downtown Albany’s top music venues, yet far enough to enjoy a restful night’s sleep. The late 12:00 PM checkout is a huge plus after a late show, and free bikes make it easy to explore if you’re staying longer. The 24-hour front desk means late-night arrivals are no problem, and you won’t have to stress about catching your train at Albany-Rensselaer, just minutes away.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly stay outside the city buzz
• Solo travelers catching a must-see show in Albany
• Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
• Fans needing a quieter recovery space after a high-energy concert
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want quality without splurging

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a hot buffet or continental breakfast, perfect if you’ve had a late night. While there isn’t an on-site restaurant or bar, the surrounding area has plenty of walkable dining spots for pre- or post-show eats. For those midnight cravings, nearby fast-food and delivery options are easily accessible.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music or have an on-site bar, you're within a short drive of Albany's downtown entertainment scene. Whether you're into craft breweries, cocktail lounges, or late-night bites, you'll find them just a few miles away. It's a smart pick for those who want options without the noise.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s cleanliness, professional staff, and comfortable rooms. Many praise the location for being quiet yet convenient to downtown Albany and major venues. Travelers also appreciate the free parking and fast WiFi, two things that can be hard to find closer to the city.

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel scores high on comfort and location, some guests mention that it doesn’t have many dining options on-site. If you’re hoping for a hotel with its own bar or restaurant, you’ll need to head out or order in. Also, the vibe is more relaxed than lively—great for rest, but not a party scene.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a concert in Albany and want a quiet, affordable, and convenient place to crash, the Fairfield Inn & Suites East Greenbush hits the right notes.
