The Spotlight on Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown

Downtown Comfort Just Steps from the Stage

Modern and practical, the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown offers a stress-free stay in the heart of Indy. Located directly across from White River State Park and adjacent to the Indiana Convention Center, this hotel is perfect for travelers looking to be close to the action—without sacrificing comfort. Rooms are equipped with large SMART TVs, pillowtop mattresses, microwaves, and coffee makers—ideal for winding down after a night of live music.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can’t get much closer to downtown Indy’s top music spots—many are within walking distance or a short ride away. After a late show, getting back is a breeze, and the area is well-lit and active late into the evening. The hotel offers a flexible 3:00 PM check-in, so you can settle in before heading out, and a 11:00 AM checkout gives you time to sleep in the next morning. Rooms are quiet and designed for relaxation, even in the heart of downtown.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an easy downtown base
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list show
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend
  • Fans who want a quieter, comfy recovery space
  • Budget-conscious travelers who still want quality and location

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel offers a complimentary breakfast—a huge plus after a late night out. The surrounding downtown area is full of walkable dining options, many open late. Microwaves in-room also make it easy to heat up leftovers or a quick snack. Room service isn’t available, but you're close enough to grab-and-go spots for post-concert eats.

Nightlife Options

You’re in the heart of it all—craft breweries, cocktail lounges, and live music venues are just a short walk or ride away. While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, it’s a great quiet place to come back to after a busy night out.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms and the prime downtown location. Travelers often mention the helpful staff and the ease of getting around on foot. The free breakfast and comfortable beds are also frequently praised. It’s been called a “perfect concert base” by many Indy music fans.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that on-site parking can be a bit pricey, and the lack of evening room service might be a drawback for late-night snackers. But most agree the location more than makes up for it.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting a clean, modern hotel within walking distance of Indy’s best venues, Fairfield Inn & Suites Downtown delivers comfort, convenience, and value.

Great hotel and location, terrible...

Liked: Great location with a nice garage
Disliked: Lots of extra charges on my bill for a 2 day stay. My original price on booking was $342 for 2 nights. The hotel billed me another $140 for various nonsense fees and taxes. I had NO incidental charges.

Great stay bad experience

Liked: Great location and clean
Disliked: The staff told us since we were Bonvoy members we would not have to pay the $35 self park but it showed on our invoice in the morning. When I addressed it upon checkout the operations manager said the staff had told us wrong and she’d need to retrain her but would not honor what we were told. I think it is wrong for us to not get the benefit we were told because of their mistake in training. What happened to customer service?
