Decor was beautiful, food was excellent, service was amazing. We have stayed in great hotels in the past, but this may be our favorite. Everything is designed to make the guest comfortable without being pretentious. Loved every minute we were there!

Amazing hotel in Waco! Loved Chip and Joanna’s creation in downtown Waco. Everything about this hotel is timeless and tasteful. Our room (306) was comfy, quiet, and just perfect for our one night stay. We dined at Bertie’s and the Brassiere - Bertie’s was a bit loud for our taste and the food was very good - breakfast at the Brassiere was next level good. Service was just the right balance of attentiveness and friendliness. Highly recommend a stay at this first class hotel - well worth the premium price!

Hotel is lovely. Staff were pleasant. Dinner on the Roof Top was 5 star. Thank you to the incredible chef and to the attentive staff. That evening was perfect. Over all our experience was wonderful, but pricey.

I am in agreement with many reviews already posted: The Hotel was very cool and design beautiful, but it was not worth the dollars charged. Staff was good, but far from great. Waco overall was a disappointment, and other than Magnolia, I would definitely not had made a stop.

Disliked: Staff & service

Underwhelming and overpriced.

Completely underwhelming, overpriced and poorly managed. The shower didn’t have hot water and the “engineer” was a nice guy but didn’t have a clue. I was unable to receive a phone number for a manager to discuss. They were unapologetic about the lack of the managers availability. I expected a better level of service for $750 a night in Waco. Live and learn and hopefully you will learn from this and save your hard earned money for a nice hotel that actually will get your bags out of your car to your room. Ridiculous.

We had a fantastic two night stay at Hotel 1928. If you’re a Magnolia enthusiast, this is a must. Staff were so kind and helpful. Room was beautiful and spacious. Food at all the on site restaurants was also phenomenal. Not a complaint to be found and I would highly recommend staying at Hotel 1928

The room itself was quite nice. The pillows for a king bed did not match. Pet peeve. The restaurant on the top floor needed baskets of blankets about for customers to snag one to use. Too cold to enjoy. Arrived right after a shower so the entire outside was unusable. A number of the cushions outside appeared moldy. Yes little things but what you pay to stay there they should not exist. Staff was quite friendly, perhaps a bit too open with their lives and the owners.
