The Spotlight on Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Buffalo Amherst/University

Comfort and Convenience Near Buffalo’s Music Scene

Modern, clean, and quietly tucked away in Amherst, the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Buffalo Amherst/University is a laid-back 3-star hotel just a short drive from downtown Buffalo and the University at Buffalo. With free parking, a sleek indoor pool, and easy access to major roads, it’s a smart and comfortable home base for music lovers visiting for a show.

Rooms are equipped with flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, work desks, and fridges, with select rooms offering extra seating areas — perfect for pre-show hangouts or late-night wind-downs. The hotel also includes a fitness center, 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi throughout the property.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the hotel’s easy access to Buffalo’s top venues — most are just a quick drive or rideshare away. It’s far enough from downtown to offer a quiet night’s sleep, but close enough to get to your show without stress. The 12:00 PM checkout is ideal for sleeping in after a late night, and free parking makes getting in and out a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for affordable, spacious rooms near the action
  • Solo travelers catching a dream concert
  • Couples making a weekend of it

  • Fridges in every room for snacks and drinks
  • BBQ facilities on-site for casual pre-show meals
  • Plenty of nearby restaurants within a short drive or delivery distance

Nightlife Options

  • While the hotel doesn’t host live music, downtown Buffalo’s bars and clubs are just a 15–20 minute drive away
  • Amherst’s local bars and pubs offer more low-key, post-show hangouts
  • Perfect for those who want a nightlife-free retreat after the concert

What People Say

  • Many praise the friendly staff and smooth check-in
  • Travelers often mention the quiet environment as a major plus after a loud night out

The Bottom Line

This hotel is a smart, peaceful, and affordable option for concert-goers who want a convenient base away from the buzz but close enough to the stage.

Successful and enjoyable!

Liked: The hotel staff, particularly a younger man named Matt, was exceptional. We didn’t realize the pool and hot tub were out of commission - we came to that hotel for that reason with our kids for New Year’s Eve. Matt gave us a few options and ultimately called the adjacent hotel and we were able to use their pool for the evening. We thought our fun New Years Eve tradition would be ruined - it ended up being awesome! Rooms were nice - big and very clean!
Disliked: Both the pool and hot tub were closed (the hot tub was practically black) - this wasn’t noted on any 3rd party site or the hotels own website and was the only reason we booked this hotel.

Unimpressed. Will not return.

Liked: Good location
Disliked: Hot tub was out of order. Called ahead of time to check they had a hot tub and no one bothered to tell me it has been out of order for months. Housekeeping was only every other day. Fridge in room was set so cold, that it FROZE our food solid. No almond milk at breakfast. Brown bananas. Not enough healthy cereal options.
