Looking for a Good Place to Stay Near Music Events?

I'm planning a trip for a live music event and was wondering how other members usually handle accommodation when traveling for concerts. Do you prefer staying close to the venue, finding a quieter place outside the city, or choosing based on price and convenience? I've been checking options around Pennsylvania and found some Cranberry township hotel rooms while comparing places to stay. Would love to hear recommendations from anyone who has traveled for shows in that area. Any tips on choosing a comfortable place after a long night of music?
