Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott St. Paul Northeast

Comfortable, Modern Stay Just Outside the Twin Cities

Modern and clean with a suburban calm, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott St. Paul Northeast offers a comfortable base in Vadnais Heights—about 13 miles from downtown St. Paul and Minneapolis. With free parking, friendly service, and a heated indoor pool, it’s a great option for concert-goers who don’t want the downtown price tag but still want easy access to major venues like U.S. Bank Stadium and Target Field.

Guests enjoy thoughtful perks like free WiFi, a well-equipped fitness center, and free bike rentals for exploring the area between shows.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel hits the sweet spot for music fans who want quick access to the Twin Cities without the downtown noise. It’s about a 20-minute drive to most major venues, and with free parking included, those driving in for a show won’t have to worry about city garages. The 24-hour front desk is a win for late arrivals after an encore or two, and the quiet suburban location makes it easy to wind down after a high-energy night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking to split a spacious room and save on parking
• Solo travelers catching a bucket-list show with easy access to venues
• Couples wanting a quiet weekend escape with concert plans
• Fans needing a good night’s rest post-show in a low-noise area
• Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t mind a short drive into the city

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, guests appreciate the free daily breakfast—perfect for those mornings after a late night. You’ll find walkable dining spots nearby, and room fridges make late-night snacks easy. The hotel doesn’t offer 24/7 room service, but staff are happy to recommend local delivery options that run late.

Nightlife Options

The hotel itself is more about rest than revelry, but that’s part of its charm. For nightlife, you’re just a short rideshare away from the bars and live music scenes in downtown St. Paul and Minneapolis. Want something low-key? Several nearby lounges and taprooms offer craft drinks and a relaxed vibe.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the clean, modern rooms, friendly staff, and quiet location. The indoor pool and hot tub get high marks, especially for unwinding after a big night out. Travelers also love the easy access to both cities while avoiding downtown chaos.

Areas for Improvement

While most love the peaceful suburb setting, those without a car may find the lack of public transit limiting. Also, if you’re looking for an on-site bar or restaurant, you’ll need to venture out. But for many, the trade-off is worth the quiet night’s sleep.

The Bottom Line

If you want a quiet, affordable, and comfy base for concert nights in the Twin Cities, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott St. Paul Northeast delivers just what you need.
