The Spotlight on TownePlace Suites by Marriott Macon Mercer University

Comfort Meets Convenience Near Macon's Live Music Scene

Modern, relaxed, and perfectly located in Macon, TownePlace Suites by Marriott Macon Mercer University is just a short drive from the Grand Opera House and other top music venues. With a laid-back vibe, this 3-star hotel offers everything fans need before and after the show—spacious rooms, a 24-hour front desk, and a refreshing outdoor pool to recharge.

Why Concert-goers love it

The hotel’s location—just 2.6 miles from downtown venues—makes it easy to catch a ride or drive to your event without hassle. Thanks to its 24-hour front desk, flexible check-in at 4 PM and check-out at 12 PM, and quiet surroundings, it’s easy to relax after a late night. Free WiFi and a business center also help guests stay connected and plan their concert night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends heading to a show will appreciate the spacious rooms and outdoor hangout areas. Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list tour stop will find the atmosphere safe and easygoing. Couples can turn their concert night into a romantic weekend escape, while fans who value peace and quiet after a loud night will love the calm neighborhood. It’s also a smart pick for budget-conscious music lovers looking for value without skimping on comfort.

Food and Drink Options

Start your day with a free buffet or continental breakfast, served daily—perfect if you were out late. While there’s no on-site restaurant, rooms come with a fridge for storing snacks and drinks, and you're just a short drive or delivery away from plenty of local eats. Late-night cravings? Macon’s food scene has you covered with walkable and deliverable options.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music, its proximity to Macon’s vibrant downtown means you’re never far from bars, clubs, and lounges. Whether you're into dive bars with jukeboxes or craft cocktail spots, there’s something nearby to match your post-concert energy.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms and the friendly, helpful staff. The location near Mercer University is praised for being safe and convenient, and many mention the comfortable beds—a big plus after a night of dancing and singing along. The pool and gym also get high marks for adding extra value.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that soundproofing could be better, especially when the hotel is busy. Others note a limited selection of nearby dining options within walking distance—but delivery services help fill the gap.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in Macon and want a clean, quiet, and comfortable place to crash without breaking the bank, TownePlace Suites by Marriott Macon Mercer University hits the right notes.

Was mostly good after a...

Liked: Checking in was perfect. Room was nice. But by sleep time, the air handler was not working. Upon calling the desk, was told there was nothing to do ‘til morning and no other room available. We lived with the situation. Next morning, spoke with very capable young gentleman at the desk. He was able to replace the thermostat, replace a bathroom light bulb, and silence the screeming bathroom door.

Would definitely stay again!

Liked: Breakfast was a hot breakfast. The room was very clean, walk in showers were great too. We were attending an event at the Macon Colliseum and it was only about 7 min from there.
Disliked: Actually everything was quite nice and we didn't have any issues. We would stay again.
