Food and Drink Options

This hotel makes it easy to fuel up before or after the show. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’re steps away from numerous dining spots in the Apex Center, from casual bites to sit-down meals. Complimentary breakfast is served daily — ideal for those who stayed out late — and nearby eateries offer late-night options within walking distance.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no bar inside the hotel itself, the Apex Center offers nearby lounges and bars to keep the night going. Whether you’re in the mood for local craft beers or a low-key nightcap, there’s something just around the corner. Plus, you’re a short ride from Worcester’s vibrant music and nightlife scenes.

What People Say

Guests highlight the cleanliness, friendly staff, and convenience of the location. Many praise the hotel’s quiet atmosphere and call it a great value for the area. The indoor pool and fitness center are nice bonuses for those wanting to unwind before or after a concert.

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel is comfortable, it’s not in the heart of downtown — so you’ll need a car or rideshare to get to most venues. Some guests mention that the lack of an on-site bar or restaurant is a minor downside, but the nearby options help fill the gap.

The Bottom Line

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Boston Marlborough/Apex Center is a clean, quiet, and convenient place to stay for concert-goers who want easy access to shows without the chaos of staying downtown.
