Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the peaceful location after a high-energy show, yet it's still a quick drive to major venues in Akron. The 24-hour front desk offers flexibility for late-night arrivals, and the no-fuss check-in at 3:00 PM and generous check-out at 12:00 PM mean you won’t feel rushed. The hotel is also close to major highways for easy Uber or Lyft access back from late events.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want to share a large suite with a kitchen
• Solo travelers catching a must-see tour stop
• Couples making a music-filled weekend getaway
• Fans seeking a quieter retreat after the encore
• Budget-conscious fans who still want all the essentials

Food and Drink Options

While there isn’t a full-service restaurant onsite, the hotel offers free hot breakfast daily—perfect after a late night. Rooms with kitchens let you prep your own snacks, and nearby eateries are within a short drive for late-night bites. There’s also a small market in the hotel for quick grab-and-go options.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is low-key, you’re only minutes from Akron’s best late-night spots, including bars and lounges that host live music. Want to wind down instead? The hotel’s indoor hot tub and terrace are ideal for a laid-back post-show evening.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean and spacious suites, and the quiet, convenient location. Many highlight the full kitchens and comfortable beds as major pluses. The free hot breakfast also gets high marks, especially appreciated after a big night out.

Areas for Improvement

The location is a bit suburban, so you’ll likely need a car or rideshare to get to and from concert venues. Some guests mentioned that the breakfast area can get crowded during peak times. But overall, these are minor issues for most travelers.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to Akron for a concert and want a quiet, spacious place to crash after the show, the Residence Inn by Marriott Akron Fairlawn is a smart, stress-free choice.
