Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Hartford Manchester

Relax and Recharge Near Hartford’s Top Venues

Modern comfort meets convenience at the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Hartford Manchester. Located just off I-84, this laid-back, 3-star hotel in Manchester puts you within easy driving distance of downtown Hartford’s biggest concert halls — without the downtown noise and hassle. With clean, spacious rooms, free WiFi, and thoughtful amenities like an indoor pool and fitness center, it’s a smart and easy base for music fans.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate being close but not too close — the hotel is just under 9 miles from both the XL Center and Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts, and about 10 miles from the Comcast Theatre. That means you’re far enough away to enjoy a quiet, comfortable night’s sleep post-show. The 24-hour front desk and late 12:00 PM checkout are perfect if your night out runs long. And with quick access to major highways and rideshare options, getting to and from shows is a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for an affordable, reliable stay
• Solo travelers catching a must-see tour stop
• Couples making a weekend out of a concert experience
• Fans who want a quieter, suburban base to recover
• Budget-conscious concert-goers who still want quality amenities

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, the hotel offers a free breakfast — a huge plus after a late night. There are snack and drink vending machines available 24/7, and you’re just a short walk or drive from several casual dining spots and late-night eats. Room service isn’t available, but nearby delivery options make up for it.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, so you won’t find a buzzing bar scene inside. But it’s a short drive to downtown Hartford’s bars, lounges, and live music spots. If you’d rather keep it chill, the hotel’s peaceful vibe and proximity to local breweries and low-key pubs make it easy to unwind your way.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the hotel’s cleanliness, friendly staff, and great value. Many highlight the convenient location for events in Hartford, noting it’s “just far enough” to avoid event traffic while still being easily accessible. The free breakfast and pool are also frequent favorites in reviews.

Areas for Improvement

The lack of a full-service restaurant or bar might be a downside for those looking to keep the party going on-site. Some guests note the décor is a bit basic, but most agree it’s clean and comfortable for the price.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a show in Hartford and want a quiet, affordable place to crash with convenient access to venues, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Hartford Manchester hits the right note.
