The Stella Hotel Autograph Collection

We had a fantastic experience at The Stella Hotel, where the service was consistently above and beyond. During our pool day, Phoebe checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. She was attentive without hovering, and made relaxing by the pool feel like a true vacation. Before dinner, we sat outside with drinks made by Hunter, who I noticed checking on us through the window multiple times to make sure we were all set. It’s rare to see that level of awareness—he clearly takes pride in what he does. Tristan made excellent mocktails for our teen daughters, with hand-muddled strawberries and fresh mint. They were genuinely impressed, which says a lot. At dinner, Bella was our server and handled an unexpectedly busy Wednesday night with grace and kindness. She apologized at the end for not giving us more attention, but honestly, she gave us everything we needed and then some. When someone in our group changed his mind about a side dish, she pivoted quickly and made it happen without missing a beat. We also met Logan, a friendly valet who introduced himself to everyone in our group and shook our hands—a small gesture, but one that left a great impression. Fred, who was delivering food upstairs, held the elevator and let us in first, which just reinforced how consistently courteous the staff are. Everyone we interacted with was professional, kind, and genuinely seemed happy to help. The level of hospitality across the board was top notch. Highly recommend—10/10 will return.

Absolutely the best hotel in Bryan! The staff members are super friendly. They have a great restaurant (Campfire) that serves great food. Great bartenders. There is a nice walking trail next to the lake that is very peaceful to walk or bicycle. I have stayed here several times and never had a bad experience.

Great hotel. Spacious rooms and great customer service all around. The bar and bartenders were great and provided recommendations based on our likes. Beds are comfy. If you are sensitive to smells the lobby and hallways are quite heavily scented. The only downside was the lack of shampoo in the bathroom, must have overlooked ours needed filling.
