The Spotlight on Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Elkhart

Easy Comfort Near Elkhart's Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Elkhart delivers a clean, comfortable stay just a short drive from downtown Elkhart and popular local music venues. With friendly service, free WiFi, and a peaceful suburban setting, it's the kind of hotel where you can rest up before and after the show without sacrificing convenience or comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're in town for a show, this hotel makes it simple. It's just 4 miles from downtown Elkhart, where several smaller venues and bars host live music, and only 16 miles from larger stadium concerts at Notre Dame. The quiet location means you’ll get a good night’s sleep after the encore, while the 12 PM checkout gives you time to recover the next morning. Free parking and easy highway access make late-night Uber or Lyft rides hassle-free.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for affordable comfort with shared spaces
  • Solo travelers catching a must-see artist in town
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans who want a peaceful place to crash after the show
  • Budget-conscious travelers who still want amenities like a pool and gym

Food and Drink Options

While there's no on-site restaurant, the hotel offers a hearty continental and buffet breakfast—ideal for those slow mornings after a late night. Elkhart’s dining scene is just a short drive away, with plenty of casual eateries and fast food options open late. Coffee lovers will also appreciate the in-room coffee makers.

Nightlife Options

The hotel itself is more of a chill zone, but you're near a handful of local bars, breweries, and casual pubs in downtown Elkhart. For those wanting to keep the night going, South Bend’s nightlife is only about 20 minutes away by car.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms and the friendly, helpful staff. Many mention how quiet the property is, making it perfect for winding down after a concert. The indoor pool and fitness center are also popular, especially for those sticking around for a longer stay.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that the location isn’t walkable to nightlife or venues, so having a car or rideshare plan is a must. Also, while breakfast gets decent marks, a few guests wished for more hot food variety.

The Bottom Line

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Elkhart is a comfortable, quiet, and convenient base for concert-goers looking to balance fun with a good night’s rest.

Exceptional Service

Liked: This was the best stay ever. All of the staff were absolutely amazing and Taylor on the evening shift and Gayle on the day shift were super kind and extremely helpful. They both went the extra mile to help us and make our stay the best. The property was clean, and the rooms were what I liked with a nice desk, view, and good size bathroom. We loved the yummy breakfast each day and the coffee and spa water all day long!!!
Disliked: The only thing I would recommend is to switch up the breakfast meat, it was sausage every day and maybe bacon or ham one day would have been nice.

Going above & beyond and...

Liked: We came to check out the facility as we needed to move hotels. Taylor was at the front desk and is so efficient and kind and extremely helpful. She gave us a tour and let us check out a room similar to what we wanted to stay in. The next day we lived over and are so happy we did! The facilities are super clean, the staff is awesome….especially Taylor, who checked us in and even after we settled in called to make sure everything was satisfactory and asked if we needed anything else. She really went the extra mile and I found out it was only her first week working here….best hire ever, she is a keeper!!!! The breakfast here is wonderful, freshly made each day and plenty of food for all guests. Pool is super nice and we really like the area and the convenience to downtown. I highly recommend this place over the other 6 in the area!!!

Decent

Liked: That it was close to our location we were visiting .
Disliked: That the fire alarm went off at 3am in the middle of a winter storm everyone needed to walk out of the building . Alarm woke up my sick child and we had to step out in the cold without any explanation or apology from the facility. Very disappointed with that.
