Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel’s proximity to Nassau Coliseum—only about a 10-minute drive—makes it a favorite for fans heading to concerts or events. The express check-in and check-out options are great for anyone arriving late or leaving early, and the quiet Garden City neighborhood provides a peaceful retreat after a loud night out. Plus, free WiFi, on-site parking, and a 24-hour front desk mean you can focus on the music, not the logistics.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for roomy suites with kitchenettes
• Solo travelers chasing that once-in-a-lifetime concert
• Couples planning a music-filled weekend escape
• Fans who want a quiet, comfy place to recharge post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want amenities without the Manhattan price tag

Food and Drink Options

The daily buffet and continental breakfast is perfect for sleeping in after a late night. While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, the hotel features a grill area for casual dining and is within walking distance or a short drive of several popular eateries. Each room includes a coffee machine, and some suites offer full kitchenettes—ideal for midnight snacks or pre-show meals.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re just a short Uber or drive from local bars and lounges around Garden City and Hempstead. If you're winding down instead of turning up, the shared lounge area offers a low-key vibe for a nightcap or game of pool.

What People Say

Guests rave about the clean, spacious rooms and the helpfulness of the 24-hour staff. Many love the location for its easy access to concerts and the quiet surroundings for a good night’s rest. The indoor pool and fitness center also get high marks for those squeezing in a workout between shows.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that the hotel can feel more business-like than festive, and while there are dining options nearby, on-site late-night food is limited. If you're hoping for a bustling nightlife scene right outside your door, you may need to venture out.

The Bottom Line

If you’re headed to a show at Nassau Coliseum and want a comfortable, convenient, and quiet place to unwind, Residence Inn by Marriott Long Island Garden City hits the right notes.
