Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott San Antonio Downtown/Market Square

Relaxed Comfort Near San Antonio’s Live Music Action

Modern and welcoming, the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott San Antonio Downtown/Market Square offers a convenient stay just over a mile from downtown’s biggest stages and attractions. With clean, spacious rooms and thoughtful amenities like free parking, WiFi, and airport transportation, this 3-star hotel makes a comfortable base for music lovers exploring the city.

Located only 1.2 miles from major attractions like Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum and the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, you’ll be right within reach of San Antonio’s buzzing entertainment scene—without being caught in the downtown noise.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel hits the right notes for concert-goers. It’s close enough to walk or take a short ride to major venues, but just removed enough for a quieter wind-down after the show. The 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins a breeze, and the free parking is a rare bonus in the downtown area. If you're catching a late flight in or out, the airport shuttle service (11 miles to San Antonio International Airport) is a serious perk. The hot tub and outdoor pool are perfect for post-concert recovery.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends heading to a festival or gig weekend
• Solo travelers chasing a must-see artist
• Couples making a music-filled weekend getaway
• Fans looking for peace after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want great value downtown

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full restaurant on-site, the hotel serves a satisfying buffet or American breakfast—ideal for a late start after a long night. You’ll find plenty of walkable eateries and late-night spots nearby in Market Square and downtown. Room service isn't available, but with San Antonio’s food scene at your doorstep, most guests don’t mind.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music or a bar, you’re just minutes from the heart of San Antonio’s nightlife. From cozy cocktail lounges to dance-friendly clubs and rooftop bars with skyline views, options abound. Want something more low-key? The hotel’s shared lounge is a comfy spot to relax post-show.

What People Say

Guests love the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, the friendly, helpful staff, and the overall value for money. Reviews often highlight how easy it is to get around from this location—whether heading to a concert, the River Walk, or the Alamo. The free parking is a big win, especially for those driving in for a show.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the decor feels a bit basic and that there isn’t much nightlife right on the doorstep—though most venues are a quick ride away. A few mentioned that breakfast could have more variety, but appreciated the convenience.

The Bottom Line

If you’re in town for a concert and want a budget-friendly, quiet, and well-located place to stay with great amenities, Fairfield Inn & Suites Downtown delivers exactly what you need.
