Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport

Convenient Comfort Near the Airport and Music Venues

Modern and unpretentious, the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport offers a comfortable stay in Mendota Heights—just a short drive from Minneapolis' biggest arenas and stages. With free WiFi, an indoor pool, and a complimentary airport shuttle, it’s a hassle-free hub for travelers catching live shows or sporting events.
Rooms come with air conditioning, a work desk, and a fridge—ideal for pre-show snacks or post-concert leftovers. Its location puts you less than 6 miles from the Mall of America and about 10 miles from downtown venues like U.S. Bank Stadium and Target Field.

Why Concert-goers love it

The hotel’s free shuttle service to and from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (just 3.7 miles away) makes getting around a breeze—especially after a late-night encore. With most major venues like TCF Bank Stadium and Target Field within a 20-minute drive, you're never far from the music. Noise levels are low thanks to its suburban setting, so you’ll have no trouble winding down. Plus, with a 12:00pm checkout, you won’t have to rush out the morning after.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly home base with space to hang out
• Solo travelers flying in for a must-see tour stop
• Couples making a weekend getaway out of a concert
• Fans seeking a quieter spot to recharge post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality and comfort

Food and Drink Options

Start your day post-show with a buffet breakfast served daily—ideal for those slow mornings after a high-energy night. While there’s no restaurant on-site for late-night dining, each room includes a mini fridge for storing snacks, and staff are happy to recommend walkable eateries or food delivery options nearby.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t host live music or have a bar, you’re within easy reach of Minneapolis’ nightlife. Head downtown for lounges, clubs, or breweries, then return to a quiet, comfortable space to crash. It’s a great way to experience the scene without paying downtown hotel prices.

What People Say

Guests frequently praise the friendly staff, clean rooms, and the convenience of the airport shuttle. Travelers love the quiet location that still offers easy access to the city’s major venues. Many reviews highlight the hotel as a solid value for the price, especially for concert-goers and sports fans.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that while the hotel is close to the airport, it’s a bit further from downtown nightlife—so having a car or using rideshare apps is helpful. Also, there’s no on-site restaurant or bar, which might be a downside if you're hoping for a nightcap nearby.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a clean, comfortable, and convenient stay with easy access to both the airport and Minneapolis concert venues, Fairfield Inn & Suites Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport hits the right note.
