Scene
Budget-friendly chain hotel with homey areas and a clientele of families and business travelers
Comfort Suites University Drive is a chain hotel that delivers value and comfort. Families (often those visiting kids at the nearby Texas A&M University) are the most common guests. However, business travelers stay here too, most likely drawn to the spacious rooms with work desks. The brick and tan property is pretty typical from the outside, though it's a bit old-fashioned in style inside. The lobby’s wooden elements: front desk, hutch, and chairs, and antique hanging lights are plainly dated, but manage to give off a homey vibe. The simple breakfast area and outdoor pool are the only places where guests mingle.
Location
Eight-minute drive to Texas A&M University and Post Oak Mall
There’s not much to do in College Station besides eat, shop, or visit the university.

Rooms
Contemporary rooms with flat-screen TVs, microwaves, and mini-fridges; suites offer kitchenettes
While there’s nothing extraordinary about the rooms, they’re pleasant in design and have an overall homey vibe thanks to a combination of earth tone decor, brown carpet, and dark wooden furniture. All rooms have work desks and small living room areas with sofas, though Suites are far more spacious and some have two rooms. Amenities include flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers. Those traveling with important belongings like laptops or lots of cash, might be disappointed to find a lack of safes. Some Suites have kitchenettes with refrigerators, stoves, ovens, microwaves, coffeemakers, and sinks. Most bathrooms are standard with shower/tub combos, hairdryers, and free Raio toiletries. Some upper-level rooms have whirlpool baths in the living room areas.
