La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Alvarado
This location is closer to the venue and my house. There are less options for food and shopping right around the hotel but there are many things to do within a fifteen-minute drive, food and shopping wise. I would check online for discounts. You do not have to book though their website.
