Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Minneapolis North/Blaine

Comfort Meets Convenience Just Outside the City

Modern and welcoming, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Minneapolis North/Blaine offers a comfortable home base in Blaine, just north of Minneapolis. This 3-star hotel has all the essentials for a music-filled weekend—free WiFi, cozy rooms with air conditioning, and a friendly vibe. You're close enough to the action (about 16-18 miles from major Minneapolis concert venues) without the downtown noise or hassle.

Why Concert-goers love it

With key venues like Target Field, U.S. Bank Stadium, and the Orpheum Theatre all within a 20-mile drive, this spot makes a great choice for fans who want easy access to shows but prefer a quieter place to crash afterward. The late 12:00 PM checkout is perfect after a night of encores, and the front desk team is happy to help with directions or ride-share options. Plus, the peaceful suburban setting means you’ll get a good night’s sleep—even after the loudest encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for affordable comfort

Food and Drink Options

Fuel up in the morning with buffet, continental, or vegetarian breakfast options served daily—ideal after late nights. While there’s no on-site restaurant, there are several casual dining spots a short drive away, and you’ll find snacks and drinks available in the lobby.

Nightlife Options

If you’re not quite ready to call it a night after the concert, you’re within driving distance of Minneapolis’s bar and club scene. Or, keep it chill with a soak in the hotel’s indoor hot tub or a cold drink back in your room.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms and mention the friendly service at the front desk. Many highlight the easy parking and smooth 15:00 check-in. The hotel’s quiet location is a big hit for those looking to escape the downtown rush after a show.

Areas for Improvement

Since it’s about 25 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, you’ll want a car or ride-share plan to get to your venue. There’s no on-site restaurant or bar, but nearby options make up for it.

The Bottom Line

A clean, quiet, and budget-friendly stay that’s close enough to the music—but far enough to rest easy after the encore.
