Residence Inn by Marriott Scranton

Comfort-First Suites Near Scranton's Best Music Spots

Modern and laid-back, the Residence Inn by Marriott Scranton is a great base for music lovers visiting the area. Located just north of downtown Scranton, this all-suite hotel offers a casual, residential feel with access to nature and convenience. Expect spacious rooms with kitchens, free Wi-Fi, and thoughtful extras like an indoor pool and complimentary breakfast.

Why Concert-goers love it

With major Scranton venues only a short drive away—including downtown theaters and the popular Montage Mountain—the location is ideal for catching a show without the downtown hassle. Despite being close to the action, the hotel sits in a quieter area, making it perfect for relaxing post-concert. Late 3:00 PM check-in and generous 12:00 PM checkout also give you some flexibility, especially after a late night out. Free parking and easy highway access make getting to and from gigs simple.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for roomy suites with kitchens
• Solo travelers who want comfort and convenience
• Couples planning a low-key concert weekend
• Fans needing a peaceful recovery space after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want freebies like breakfast and Wi-Fi

Food and Drink Options

Free breakfast is served daily with American, continental, and buffet options—perfect after a long night. While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, rooms come with kitchenettes, and the hotel offers a grill area for guest use. Dining spots and takeout options are within a short drive, so you won’t go hungry after a show.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about relaxing than partying, you’re not far from Scranton’s bar and lounge scene. Head downtown (about 15 minutes by car) for local pubs, late-night bites, and craft cocktails. Then return to your suite for a peaceful wind-down.

What People Say

Reviews consistently mention the cleanliness, friendly staff, and spacious rooms with full kitchens. Guests love the quiet location and praise the indoor pool and fitness center as great bonuses. It’s also frequently noted as a good value for longer stays.

Areas for Improvement

The decor is more functional than flashy, and some guests say furnishings feel slightly dated. If you're hoping for a buzzing nightlife scene on-site, this isn’t the place—but that's part of its charm for those who want to unwind.

The Bottom Line

Residence Inn by Marriott Scranton offers the space, comfort, and quiet you need to make your concert weekend both exciting and restful.
