Scene
Colorful, contemporary hotel that draws a mix of business and leisure travelers
The La Quinta opened in 2015 and it has retained its fresh, contemporary feel. Interiors are fairly attractive and depart from a bland chain-hotel look, with modern decor and punchy accents in bright violet and neon green. The lobby is a striking space, with lots of natural light and graphic-print carpeting, and a huge photomural of the Texas A&M University campus hangs behind the reception desk. The hotel gets a large number of guests in town to visit children at college and attend sporting events at the university, or to do business at the Baylor Scott & White Medical Center. Families are also drawn to the indoor pool and hot tub, and the affordable rates.

Texas World Speedway and the Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History are a 10-minute drive, and the center of Bryan, with its dining, shopping, farmer’s market, antiques mall, and Greyhound station, is 15 minutes by car.At about a 10-minute drive from Kyle Field (Texas A&M University Aggies football stadium) and the central campus, the hotel isn’t quite as close as many other area hotels. Reed Arena (Aggies basketball) and the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum are both a little more than 10 minutes by car. Easterwood Airport is also a 10-minute drive from La Quinta.
