Residence Inn by Marriott Redwood City San Carlos

Comfortable, spacious stays near San Carlos's music scene

Modern, extended-stay style meets casual California comfort at the Residence Inn by Marriott Redwood City San Carlos. Just a 5-minute walk from the San Carlos Caltrain Station, this all-suite hotel is a great launchpad whether you're heading to a concert in San Francisco, San Jose, or right in the local area. With fully equipped kitchens, roomy suites, and resort-style outdoor spaces, it’s designed for longer stays without sacrificing style or convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

Traveling to a show? You’re in luck. The hotel is just steps from the Caltrain station, making it easy to zip up to San Francisco or down to San Jose without worrying about parking. After the encore, come back to a quiet, residential neighborhood that’s peaceful enough for sleep—even if you’re getting in late. With a flexible 12:00pm checkout, there’s no rush in the morning, and the outdoor fire pit is the perfect spot to wind down after the show.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want space to spread out and cook a meal before the show
• Solo travelers catching a bucket-list tour stop
• Couples making a romantic weekend of it
• Fans seeking a quiet post-show recharge away from the city buzz
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

Start the day right with a free American breakfast served daily—perfect for recovering after a late night. While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, each suite has a fully equipped kitchen for DIY meals or leftovers, and the downtown San Carlos dining scene is just a short walk away. It's easy to grab a bite before or after your show. Bonus: the hotel has a BBQ area if you're in the mood to grill.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find live music or a bar on-site, but the hotel is just minutes from downtown San Carlos, home to a mix of cozy wine bars, craft cocktail lounges, and casual pubs. Want to keep the music going? Hop on Caltrain and explore the nightlife in San Francisco or San Jose—both easy, direct rides.

What People Say

Guests rave about the clean, spacious suites and the friendly staff. Many reviewers highlight the quiet, safe location and praise the hotel’s modern amenities like the pool and outdoor lounge area. The proximity to Caltrain is a frequent favorite for those planning to explore the Bay Area without a car.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn’t offer 24/7 room service or an on-site restaurant, so if you’re coming back super late from a concert, plan ahead for snacks. Also, while the location is convenient for transit, it’s more suburban—don’t expect city vibes right outside your door.

The Bottom Line

If you want a spacious, quiet place to recharge after a show—with easy train access to major venues—the Residence Inn by Marriott Redwood City San Carlos is a smart, comfortable pick.
