We really enjoy the hotel and amenities. The staff at the desk are always very nice and helpful. We are going to continue staying there in thee future.
Housekeeping did not come on the day we needed them to but was knocking on the door on checkout day at 9 am and again at 10:15 am when checkout was 12pm. Hotel is situated in a very weird location road noise is loud.
We liked the breakfast, 24/7 large gym & the lobby area is beautiful. Our room the toilet was malfunctioning and my husband called front desk they said they would send maintenance and no one ever came… my husband was able to fix the toilet himself. There were some people vaping in the elevator at one point. Overall, I would stay here again!
This hotel is amazing. I’ve been 3 times in the last year and a half. Great property and great staff.
The only negative is that the common areas on the first floor were uncomfortably warm.
The property was very clean, the staff very friendly.
I love that breakfast was made per order and not a buffet, so I knew i was going to get a fresh, hot meal. The atmosphere was relaxing and ambient. The room, the bathroom, the kitchenette... awesome.
Very nice hotel, close to the freeway, as well as driving to places in Waco. Magnolia Table is close by, everything each of us ordered for dinner was delicious.
Gave this location a second chance to redeem itself. My girlfriend and I visited this hotel in early June and were not happy with our stay. Spent this past weekend there. (My birthday) worst weekend ever!!!!

Expedia showed room available, made reservations and paid online. Arrive at hotel to find out all rooms were all sold out even though reservations were made. Night staff was great in helping out.
