A Marriott Courtyard in Irving (West Walnut Hill Ln I think).
You are not far from DFW airport and not far from Grapevine.
Yes, it is a decent area. It is close enough to Grapevine to drive for food. There is a steak place called the Keg in Irving.
Decent area? Recommendations for food, entertainment?
Yes, it is a decent area. It is close enough to Grapevine to drive for food. There is a steak place called the Keg in Irving. To me the best Mexican food would be to drive to Grapevine and go to Baja Grill. There are other places also. According to what you want. Also in Grapevine, there is an old place called Willhoites has a band. Had a great time with a lot of old Neb ex players, including Dave Remmington, a couple of years ago. Cool River is in Irving not far from where you are staying.
If you can be more specific with your taste I can tell you more.
I will be with my brother and his 13yo son, so we're not looking for any nightlife. A decent place to eat (nice not overly formal/pricey) to eat Friday night and then something to occupy some time Saturday morning/early afternoon is what we're looking for. We were thinking of taking a tour of Rangers stadium that morning.
We'll be coming in Friday afternoon and leaving Sunday morning.
Baja is not that expensive. Stadium tour would be nice. There is also other eating options if you don't want Mex. Saltgrass steak house is good.
