Red Roof Inn Arlington - Entertainment District

Affordable Comfort Near Arlington’s Biggest Stages

Modern convenience meets wallet-friendly comfort at Red Roof Inn Arlington - Entertainment District. This no-frills hotel is located right off I-30, less than a mile from Six Flags Over Texas and just a short drive from some of Arlington’s biggest concert venues. With simple, clean rooms and thoughtful amenities like free WiFi and a seasonal outdoor pool, it's a reliable base for music lovers looking to catch a show without breaking the bank.

Each room includes a cable TV and essential comforts, and during peak seasons, a free trolley will get you to and from local hotspots like Globe Life Field, Choctaw Stadium, and Cowboys Stadium—no rideshare needed.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Red Roof Inn Arlington delivers. Just minutes from major arenas and stadiums, it’s ideal for catching a show and getting back without hassle. The seasonal free trolley is a major perk for transportation to events. While the hotel is close to the action, it’s set back enough from main roads to offer a quieter night’s sleep post-show. The 24-hour front desk helps with those late check-ins after an encore, though check-out is at 11:00 AM—so set that alarm if you're recovering from a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends on a budget who want a convenient crash pad near the stadiums
• Solo travelers catching a bucket-list tour stop
• Couples planning a fun-filled weekend around a concert and theme park visit
• Fans needing a quiet place to recharge after the noise and lights
• Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer to spend on the ticket, not the room

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t offer on-site dining, there are several walkable restaurants and fast food spots nearby to grab a quick bite before or after a show. For late-night cravings, Arlington’s main strips are just a few minutes’ drive away. Breakfast isn’t served on-site, but nearby diners and cafes open early enough to fuel up after a night of music.

Nightlife Options

Red Roof Inn Arlington isn’t a nightlife destination itself, but you’re close to plenty of it. From bars and lounges near the stadiums to live music venues and sports bars, your night doesn’t have to end after the encore. For a quieter evening, enjoy a walk or relax by the seasonal pool.

What People Say

Guests love the location—especially those attending events at nearby stadiums. Many mention the easy check-in, clean rooms, and the trolley service as highlights. It’s repeatedly praised as a solid, affordable stay for short trips centered around sports or concerts.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviews note that the hotel is a bit dated in appearance, and a few guests would prefer more dining options on-site. The pool is seasonal, so don’t count on a swim in the colder months. But for the price and location, most visitors say it's worth it.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a budget-friendly, no-fuss stay close to Arlington’s top music and sports venues, Red Roof Inn Arlington hits the right notes.
