Red Roof Inn Fairmont

Affordable Comfort Just Outside the Noise

Modern and no-fuss, Red Roof Inn Fairmont offers a clean, budget-friendly stay just off the beaten path in Fairmont, WV. With a convenient location about 23 miles from West Virginia University and Mountaineer Field, it’s a practical choice for travelers catching a concert in the Morgantown area. The motel features simple but reliable amenities like free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour front desk, and air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're looking to stay close to the action without being overwhelmed by it, this spot is ideal. The quiet location outside of the city makes it easier to wind down after a high-energy night. With late check-in available (from 2:00 PM) and an express 24-hour front desk, you won’t have to worry if the encore runs late. Plus, it’s only a short drive from major venues in Morgantown or Clarksburg, and just 13 miles from North Central West Virginia Airport—great for fly-in concert weekends.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends road-tripping to a show
- Solo travelers catching a bucket-list performance
- Couples planning a concert weekend getaway
- Fans who want a quieter space to relax after the music ends
- Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer to save on lodging

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel is near several walkable dining options and fast food spots. With in-room fridges, you can stash snacks or leftovers. No 24/7 room service, but that’s par for the price point. If you're up late, local diners and chain restaurants nearby often stay open into the evening. For early risers—or late risers recovering from a gig—breakfast options are easy to find close by.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find live music or a bar in the hotel itself, but you're less than 30 minutes from the nightlife in Morgantown, where bars and lounges near the university add plenty of post-show options. Back in Fairmont, it’s a more laid-back vibe, ideal if you’re ready to call it a night after the final song.

What People Say

Travelers praise the clean, spacious rooms and the friendly front desk staff. Many mention the great value for the price, especially for short stays. The location is also a plus for those who want to avoid downtown traffic but still be close to concert venues.

Areas for Improvement

There’s no elevator, so if stairs are an issue, request a ground-floor room. No breakfast is served on-site, and some guests noted limited amenities compared to full-service hotels. Still, for the price, it’s hard to beat.

The Bottom Line

Red Roof Inn Fairmont is a solid, budget-friendly base for concert-goers who want easy access to West Virginia venues without the downtown chaos.
