Everything else is a drive: the hotels around Century Square and Northgate are 5–6 minutes away with no traffic, University Drive East 7–8 minutes, and the Stella in Bryan 8. College Station and Bryan have many rooms, but big weekends fill them; the next town with hotels is Brenham, 52–54 minutes south, then Huntsville at 66.
