Courtyard by Marriott Dallas Allen at the Event Center
The closest Courtyard to the Allen Event Center, with a bar
About this hotel
This Courtyard's location, roughly two miles from the historic station site and closest of any property here to the Allen Event Center itself, makes it the default pick for travelers whose evening plans include a concert or hockey game. The American-style restaurant and bar under one roof mean a pre- or post-event meal and drink don't require moving the car at all. The indoor pool works year-round, useful for families combining an Event Center visit with a longer Allen stay. Free WiFi rounds out a property built specifically around the arena's event calendar rather than the historic corridor further out. The proximity to the arena also means road noise and event-night crowds are worth factoring in in for travelers who prefer a quieter stay away from that activity.
- On-site restaurant and bar
- Indoor pool
- Near Event Center
- Free WiFi
Our take
I recommend Courtyard by Marriott Dallas Allen at the Event Center to anyone with tickets for a game or concert at the Allen Event Center, which is right next door. The American-style restaurant and bar handle the evening, the indoor pool works in any season, and Wi-Fi is free. The historic Texas Electric Railway Allen Station site is roughly 2 miles away. Check-in starts at 3pm and checkout is by noon.
- Book ahead for any night with an Event Center concert or game, this property fills fast on those dates.
- Use the on-site bar for a pre- or post-event drink instead of driving to find one elsewhere.
- Confirm event calendars before booking if noise or crowds around arena nights are a concern.

Why guests love itI would book this Courtyard when a family trip is built around a show or a game at the Allen Event Center, which sits right next door, so the walk back after a late finish is short. The indoor pool gives children something to do the following morning, whatever the weather. The American-style restaurant and bar handle dinner on site. Check-in opens at 3pm and checkout is at noon.
