Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Somerset

Comfort and Convenience Just Outside the City Buzz

Modern, functional, and conveniently located, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Somerset is a solid 3-star stay just off I-287 in Somerset, NJ. This hotel offers a peaceful retreat while keeping you within easy driving distance of top New Jersey concert venues and nightlife spots. With free WiFi and a helpful 24-hour front desk, it’s well-suited for travelers who want a smooth and stress-free stay.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the hotel’s location—only about 30 minutes from major venues in New Brunswick, Newark, or Princeton. After a loud night out, the quieter suburban setting is a welcome contrast. The hotel’s late check-out at noon gives you breathing room the morning after, and the 24-hour front desk makes late-night arrivals easy. While not walkable to most venues, it’s a great base for those with a car or rideshare plans.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends road-tripping to a show
• Solo travelers catching a must-see artist
• Couples planning a chill weekend around a concert
• Fans looking for peace and quiet after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want reliable comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, the hotel offers a free breakfast—perfect if you stayed out late. There are also nearby casual dining options within a short drive, and several delivery choices if you’re winding down in your room. Snacks and drinks are available from the lobby market 24/7.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, but you’re not far from the action. Head into New Brunswick (about 15 minutes by car) for local bars, breweries, and lounges. If you're in the mood for something low-key, the hotel’s quiet vibe is ideal for a relaxed nightcap back in your room.

What People Say

Guests on Booking.com and TripAdvisor praise the clean rooms, friendly staff, and reliable service. Many note the hotel’s quiet location and say it’s a great value for the price. Travelers also appreciate the comfortable beds and the ease of getting to concerts nearby.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel feels a bit “business-y” and lacks a social atmosphere. There’s no on-site bar or restaurant, so it may not suit those wanting to keep the party going on-site. A car or rideshare is a must to reach venues and nightlife.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a quiet, reliable place to recharge after a show, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Somerset delivers comfort and convenience—without the downtown chaos.
