Scene
Mid-range chain hotel with predictable, but clean and pleasant, interiors
This mid-range hotel from the Holiday Inn chain makes for a clean and pleasant base. Decor is typical chain fare, but common spaces feel fresh and inviting. Gray sofas and armchairs offer seating in the sunny lobby in front of a large TV, while colorful accents like striped pillows and a patterned rug add a dose of pep and style to the space. There's a restaurant further in with a variety of seating, including booths, high tables, and a bar. Most guests staying here tend to be visitors of Texas A&M University or business travelers.
