Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Raleigh Cary

Comfortable, Convenient, and Concert-Ready in Cary

Modern and welcoming, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Raleigh Cary puts you close to Raleigh’s biggest music spots—just 4.3 miles from PNC Arena and under 7.5 miles from downtown attractions. With a relaxed vibe, indoor pool, and a shared lounge for social downtime, this hotel balances convenience and comfort for concert-goers looking to make the most of their trip.

Check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out isn’t until 12:00 PM, giving you time to recover after a late night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

One of the biggest perks here is the easy access to PNC Arena, a short drive away—ideal for catching big-name shows without the downtown hassle. Guests love the quiet location that still keeps you connected via rideshares and highways. The late check-out is perfect for sleeping in after a long night, and the 24-hour front desk ensures help is always available, even in the early hours.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a clean, affordable base with shared lounge options
• Solo travelers chasing a dream tour stop
• Couples making a romantic weekend out of a concert night
• Fans wanting quiet downtime after the show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality and convenience

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel offers a free breakfast buffet—continental, American, or hot options—perfect after a late night. You’ll find walkable eateries and delivery options nearby, and the shared lounge makes a great spot for snacks or takeout. No 24/7 room service, but the front desk can point you to local late-night bites.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, but that’s part of the charm. After your show, come back to a calm, comfy space. For those wanting to keep the night going, downtown Raleigh’s bars and lounges are a short Uber ride away, giving you the best of both worlds: energy when you want it, peace when you don’t.

What People Say

Guests rave about the clean rooms, friendly staff, and modern amenities. The indoor pool and fitness center are a hit, and travelers appreciate the quiet, safe location that’s still close to the action. Many reviews highlight the great value for the price, especially compared to downtown hotels.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t the spot for live music or on-site nightlife—but that’s part of its appeal for many concert-goers. A few guests mention limited food options at night, so plan ahead or ask the front desk for nearby recommendations.

The Bottom Line

If you're headed to a Raleigh concert and want a quiet, clean, and convenient place to crash, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Raleigh Cary hits all the right notes.
