The Spotlight on Homewood Suites by Hilton Kalamazoo-Portage

Comfort and Convenience Near Kalamazoo’s Music Scene

Modern and laid-back, the Homewood Suites by Hilton Kalamazoo-Portage offers a comfortable base just a short drive from some of Kalamazoo's most popular concert venues. Located in Portage, this all-suite hotel blends convenience with cozy touches like in-room seating areas and a sun terrace — perfect for unwinding after a high-energy night out.

Whether you're flying in for a show (the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport is only 2.5 miles away) or road-tripping with friends, this 3-star hotel makes it easy to enjoy the local music scene without sacrificing comfort or value.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans love this spot for its easy access to Miller Auditorium and Waldo Stadium, both less than 5 miles away. Despite being near top venues, the hotel is set in a quieter part of Portage — great for post-concert recovery. Late arrivals are no problem thanks to the 24-hour front desk, and with check-in from 3:00 PM and a generous check-out time of 12:00 PM, you can rest easy after a big night out.

Free parking and quick access to main roads make getting to and from shows simple, even late at night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for spacious suites with seating areas
  • Solo travelers flying in for can't-miss gigs
  • Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
  • Fans who value a quieter location to decompress post-show
  • Budget-conscious travelers who want free perks like WiFi and parking

Food and Drink Options

While there's no on-site restaurant, many walkable dining spots are nearby, and every suite includes a kitchen — perfect for late-night snacking. The hotel also offers a daily breakfast, ideal for those slow mornings after a high-energy night. Need a caffeine fix or midnight munchies? The staff can point you to local 24/7 options.

Nightlife Options

If you're looking to keep the night going after the encore, downtown Kalamazoo’s bars, breweries, and lounges are a short drive away. Prefer something low-key? Chill at the hotel’s sun terrace or relax in your suite’s seating area with a local brew.

What People Say

Guests on Booking.com and TripAdvisor consistently call out the clean, spacious rooms and the friendly, helpful staff. The location is praised for being close to the airport and downtown, yet peaceful. Many reviewers also highlight the value for money, especially with the suite-style rooms.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the breakfast selection could be more varied, especially for longer stays. Also, while the hotel is close to venues, you’ll need a car or rideshare to get around — something to keep in mind if you’re planning to explore the nightlife.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to Kalamazoo for a concert and want a quiet, comfortable place to crash with space to unwind, Homewood Suites by Hilton Kalamazoo-Portage hits all the right notes.

Great value for our family.

Liked: The room setup was perfect for our family of 5.
Disliked: Cable was out and the pool was closed. We didn’t know that in advance. However, the staff was accommodating and willing to cancel our reservation if we chose to as a result.

Instead of enjoying our night...

Liked: Black rock next door
Disliked: We booked the hotel because of the pool and hot tub. My son was on spring break and wanted to swim. We were headed to the Air Zoo 4 miles away the next day. When I booked online nothing alerted us that this was not the case. When we arrived they had a note on the front desk. Because I booked through a 3rd party.(Third party did not have this listed) I was unable to cancel. The lce machine was down so we couldn't keep our drinks cold. March Madness was on and we couldn't watch it because the tv kept going out. We asked the staff and they said there was nothing they could do. They had satellite tv and due to the wind that always happens.

Disappointing

Liked: Booking.com advertised a pool. Their pool was closed. The elevators did not work. We booked through the site and we were given a fourth floor room that we had to use the stairs to get to. Waiting to hear back from booking.com about a refund.
Disliked: No pool. Broken elevator. Wasn’t told either of these at checking until we had checked in. I wouldn’t have accepted the room had I known the elevator didn’t work and there was no pool; the only reason we wanted a staycation!
