Lodging
The Hilton College Station on University Drive offers a state rate and is walking distance from various dining options. They also provide a shuttle to various locations in town.
Other options on University Drive include Aloft, Hyatt Place, and Holiday Inn Express.
Dining
The University Drive and Texas Avenue corridors offer ample dining options. Just across from the Hilton there are a number of choices including Blue Baker for breakfast, sandwiches, and pizza; Razoo's Cajun Cafe; Pei Wei; and Grub Burger Bar. For Mexican food in that spot, Rosa's Cafe is very reasonable and serves great tortillas, and Abuelo's is a more upscale spot.
Across from the university campus on Texas Avenue can be found a Chilis, Torchy's Tacos, Lupe Tortilla, Shiraz Shish Kabob, and much more.
For the more intrepid, historic Downtown Bryan has a ton of fun options.
