TownePlace Suites by Marriott Sacramento Cal Expo

Comfortable, casual base near Sacramento’s live music scene

Modern and laid-back, TownePlace Suites by Marriott Sacramento Cal Expo brings together convenience and comfort just a short drive from Sacramento’s popular entertainment spots. Located off Tribute Road, it’s only about 2 miles from Punch Line Sacramento and under 4 miles to the Sacramento Convention Center. Whether you're in town for a big concert or a weekend of shows, this all-suites hotel offers the kind of flexibility and amenities that make your stay seamless.

With free WiFi, a 24-hour front desk, and even complimentary bikes to explore the area, this 3-star Marriott property is all about ease. Some rooms come with full kitchens — ideal for longer stays or groups wanting to prep snacks before the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Guests love how close it is to major venues without being stuck in the noisy downtown core. With convenient access to late-night rideshares and free parking on-site, catching your favorite artist is hassle-free. The 11:00 am check-out lets you sleep in after a late night, and the rooms are well-insulated for a quiet night’s rest post-concert.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking to split a suite and keep the vibe going
• Solo travelers catching a dream show and wanting a secure, well-located stay
• Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
• Fans who want to chill after the music with a quieter, suburban feel
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want Marriott-level comfort

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a daily breakfast buffet with continental and American options — perfect after a long night out. There’s also an on-site restaurant and bar, plus grill facilities if you’re up for a pre-show BBQ. While 24/7 room service isn’t available, late-night cravings are a short drive or delivery away thanks to the hotel’s central location.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more chill than party, it’s a short rideshare to downtown bars, lounges, and clubs. Punch Line Sacramento is nearby for comedy and drinks, and the in-house bar is a cozy spot to unwind with a local beer after the encore.

What People Say

Guests praise the clean, spacious suites — especially those with full kitchens — and the friendly, accommodating staff. The pool and fitness center are welcome bonuses, and many highlight the quiet atmosphere even with its proximity to busy areas.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention limited dining options on-site late at night, so plan ahead if you’re returning from a show with serious hunger. A few guests noted that the location feels more suburban than urban, which may not suit those looking to walk to nightlife.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a show in Sacramento and want a reliable, quiet, and spacious place to crash — TownePlace Suites by Marriott Sacramento Cal Expo hits the right note.
