Modern, budget-friendly, and conveniently located, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Dallas East-Fair Park an IHG Hotel is a solid pick for travelers headed to a show. Just a short drive from major Dallas music venues, this 3-star hotel offers clean, air-conditioned rooms, free WiFi, and a low-key vibe perfect after a big night out.
With an indoor pool, 24-hour front desk, and optional rooms with kitchenettes, it’s all about practical comfort for concert-goers who want to rest, recharge, and maybe even rehydrate in peace.

Why Concert-goers love it

Less than 15 minutes from downtown Dallas and several top music venues, this hotel makes it easy to catch your favorite artist without stressing over parking or traffic. Guests appreciate the late check-in (from 3:00 PM) and the quiet surroundings for a solid night’s sleep post-show. With quick access to highways and rideshare availability, getting to and from the venue—even late—is smooth.

  • Groups of friends looking for affordable comfort with space to crash
  • Solo travelers heading out for a once-in-a-lifetime show
  • Couples making a weekend out of their concert plans
  • Fans needing a quiet spot to unwind after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality

Food and Drink Options

  • Complimentary breakfast (buffet, à la carte, or continental) served daily—even if you slept in
  • Vending machines on-site for late-night cravings
  • Rooms with kitchenettes available if you want to BYO snacks or heat up leftovers
  • Fast food and casual dining options are a short drive away

Nightlife Options

  • While the hotel itself is more chill than party, you're only a short ride from vibrant Dallas nightlife
  • Live music venues, cocktail lounges, and local bars are easily accessible via car or rideshare

What People Say

Past guests highlight the cleanliness of the rooms, friendly staff, and great value for the price. Many note the convenience of location, especially for events at Fair Park and downtown venues. Travelers love the free parking and say it’s easy to get in and out without the hassle.

Areas for Improvement

The Bottom Line

If you're catching a show in Dallas and want a clean, comfy, no-fuss place to crash without breaking the bank, Holiday Inn Express & Suites Dallas East-Fair Park an IHG Hotel hits the right note.

Nancy S, Marble Falls

When I arrived they were having a problem with the room key/card and were having to escort everyone to their rooms. The young lady at the desk was able to maintain a professional attitude through the whole thing. When I returned later the problem had been resolved. The rooms and service were wonderful. Very close to concert I was attending and easy to get to and from. Breakfast was more than what I expected.

Liked: Service and attitude of employees.
Disliked: None

Disappointing

Liked: Overall nice hotel, love the breakfask.
Disliked: The shower head is not in proper working order. The pressure was extremely low. There was trash left under the sink in the room. The smoke/fire alarm would not go off (it was sounding off and on for all most 2 hours) interrupting a peaceful weekend I was hoping for. I love Holiday Inn Express I have never had this experience with this chain before.

The money issued was a...

Liked: The location was fine for what we needed to attend. Good accessibility and friendly staff. It being a pet friendly place was a bonus as well.
Disliked: The breakfast was not very good at all. I should have just skipped it. I've never had a hotel pre-authorized my card and then charge me the full amount. This pre-authorization has stayed on my account for a week. If I knew I was going to be double charged for the room for an entire week I would not have put to this hotel. It's very frustrating especially for someone who is on a budget.

Do NOT go

Liked: The room size was alright.
Disliked: The pool is freezing AND the "SPA" is FREEZING TOO!! when I asked the staff why is the spa and pool freezing they said THE SPA IS SUPPOSED TO BE COLD AND THE POOL HAS NO HEATER WITH NO CIRCULATION. Super disappointed that was the main reason I chose this hotel. And without being able to enjoy the pool or spa the cable had 5 channels 4 beinf the news. Another thing is the location is in a "bad" area.....watch your surroundings around this location or just don't go. Trust me.
