One of the most sought-after areas to stay is right by the university campus, where lodgings range from well-appointed hotels to cozy bed and breakfasts, providing easy access to the university's events, facilities, and the vibrant Northgate district, renowned for its eclectic mix of dining, nightlife, and entertainment.
For visitors seeking a more upscale experience, the Traditions Club and Community area offers premier accommodations with golf course views, and high-end amenities, closely located to both the university and the BioCorridor, offering a serene environment that doesn't sacrifice convenience.
Budget-conscious travellers often opt for areas along University Drive or Texas Avenue. These bustling thoroughfares are lined with a variety of hotels and motels that offer reasonable rates and are located within short distance of shopping centres, restaurants, and local attractions.
Families and longer-term visitors might prefer staying in South College Station, where a host of residential-style lodging options provide a homey feel. This rapidly growing area boasts newer hotel establishments, shopping, dining, and quick access to the city's numerous parks.
Navigating College Station is fairly straightforward. Getting around on foot or by bicycle is a viable option in good weather, particularly in and around the campus area. The city's public transport system, operated by Brazos Transit District, includes buses that are convenient for travel to key points of interest and beyond. For those looking to explore farther afield or preferring the comfort of a private vehicle, hiring a car is advisable as some areas might not be well-serviced by public transportation.
