Modern, dependable, and perfectly located in central Connecticut, the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Plainville is a smart pick for concert-goers who want to balance excitement with convenience. Situated just off Route 72, this 3-star hotel blends reliable comfort with an easygoing vibe, ideal for travelers heading to gigs near Hartford, Bristol, or New Britain.

Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you're catching a show at the nearby amphitheaters or indoor arenas, this hotel keeps you within a short drive of major venues while offering a peaceful spot to wind down. With check-in from 3:00 PM and a generous 12:00 PM check-out, you can sleep in after a late night. The 24-hour front desk is great for late arrivals, and you won’t have to worry about noise—its suburban setting helps keep things quiet after the encore ends.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a reliable base before and after the show
• Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list concert
• Couples making a weekend escape out of a live music event
• Fans needing a calm, quiet space to recover after a big night
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want quality without the downtown price tag

Food and Drink Options

Start the day right with a free buffet or American breakfast, even if you’re rolling out of bed late. While there’s no on-site late-night restaurant, there are local dining spots within a short drive, and the on-site bar is perfect for a nightcap. No 24/7 room service, but vending machines and nearby delivery options have you covered when cravings hit.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is more about rest than raving, it’s a short drive to vibrant nightlife in Hartford and New Britain. Enjoy bars, lounges, and even occasional live music venues nearby. For something low-key, unwind at the hotel bar or relax in the indoor pool.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the cleanliness, friendly staff, and comfortable rooms. Reviews highlight the great value, especially for travelers attending events nearby. The indoor pool and free breakfast also get top marks, with many noting the hotel’s quiet setting as a major plus after a rowdy show.

Areas for Improvement

While the location is convenient for driving, you’ll need a car or rideshare to reach most concert venues and restaurants—walkability is limited. Also, the hotel doesn’t offer late-night dining or room service, so plan ahead if you're coming back hungry.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a clean, quiet, and affordable place to stay within easy reach of Connecticut’s music venues, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Plainville is a solid choice with all the essentials.
