Nearby Places

The hotel is right off the university-with an easy in-and-out by car. UTRGV Brownsville campus is within walking distance, 10-15 minutes on foot-this makes it perfect for those coming to events or visiting students. Sunrise Mall is a major shopping center with department stores, right next to many special types of shops and a food court! It technically is within walking distance-about 20 minutes on foot, though most guests would opt to make the very short drive.

The hotel lies in a typical American commercial strip right by a busy road. A few minutes' walk in the vicinity places you in restaurants of every description—fast food and casual family dining, like Denny's or IHOP. This is both easy and typical, and no independent boutiques or cafes worthy of note are located too close; this is the mere area of activity, and it is designed around the auto.

A vehicle is key to Brownsville's major highlights. The historic downtown, great Gladys Porter Zoo, and Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park are within a 10-15 minute drive. The hotel's site is not in a tourist-style stroll area; its value lies in being conveniently positioned as a base from which one can drive to various points of interest in the city and the wider Rio Grande Valley.
