TownePlace Suites by Marriott Gainesville Northwest

Comfort and Convenience Just Outside Downtown Gainesville

Modern and laid-back, TownePlace Suites by Marriott Gainesville Northwest gives you the comfort of apartment-style living with hotel perks. Located just off West Newberry Road, this all-suite hotel is a quick drive to Gainesville’s concert venues and just 5 miles from the University of Florida’s Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. With a casual vibe, well-equipped rooms (some with full kitchens), and free WiFi throughout, it’s a great base for music lovers on the move.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel nails the balance between accessibility and peace. You're close enough to major venues like Regal Cinemas Royal Park and the stadium for an easy Uber ride, but far enough to unwind in the quiet after the encore. The 24-hour front desk means no worries if your show runs late, and the 12:00 PM checkout lets you sleep in post-gig. Free bikes are also a fun bonus if you're looking to explore during the day.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends planning a weekend music getaway
• Solo travelers catching a must-see artist
• Couples mixing music with a romantic escape
• Fans seeking a quieter spot after the show
• Budget-conscious concert-goers who still want quality

Food and Drink Options

Guests enjoy a solid buffet breakfast—perfect for those late wakeups. While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, select rooms come with kitchens, and you're just minutes away from plenty of casual dining spots along Newberry Road. If you’re back late and hungry, the area has nearby 24/7 options, and the hotel’s lounge area is a good place to regroup.

Nightlife Options

While this isn’t a party hub, you’re a short ride from Gainesville’s best bars and live music spots, especially near the university. For a quieter evening, the hotel’s shared lounge and sun terrace offer space to chill with a drink or recap the night with friends.

What People Say

Reviews highlight the friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms, and the flexibility of amenities like in-room kitchens and laundry. Many guests mention how quiet the property is despite being in a central location, and how it feels more like home than a hotel.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests wish there were more restaurants within walking distance, and while the hotel isn’t in the heart of downtown, most find it’s a fair trade-off for peace and parking. A few reviews mention the pool area could use more shade on sunny days.

The Bottom Line

If you're headed to Gainesville for a concert and want a chill, comfortable space to recharge, TownePlace Suites by Marriott Gainesville Northwest hits all the right notes.
