What guests think

Across recent reviews, Residence Inn by Marriott Waco earns praise for its friendly staff, spacious suite-style rooms with kitchenettes, and a convenient location near Magnolia, Baylor, and downtown sights, though some note dated decor and occasional maintenance issues.

Many guests like the fresh, varied breakfast, but others found it average or the coffee subpar. Noise from HVAC units, elevators, or nearby trains is mentioned in some rooms, and a small nightly parking fee and ongoing area road construction frustrate a number of travelers. Overall, expect spacious, apartment-style stays with solid value.

The hotel is showing its wear . The AC in my room was very noisy. Every time it turned on it would wake me up. I find it interesting that the parking is free in the entire area around the hotel, but the hotel charges $3 a night to park in their lot. Overall it was fine, the staff is nice and I just wanted to be close to the ride start first thing in the morning

We were welcomed with a friendly staff when we arrived, he was very nice. He did not suggest for us to walk from our hotel to Magnolia because of some homeless people around the area. I really appreciated it but was a little disappointed to hear it. At that time the street in front of the hotel was under construction but you cannot hear the noise inside our room. The indoor pool was cold. We had a towel in our room that had holes and rips. I took a picture of it, that was disappointing to see for having to pay for a Marriott property. The breakfast was good, had a lot of selections and the dining area/lobby was nice and clean. It needed more curb appeal in the courtyard area. This hotel is a great location for visitors that would like to see Magnolia market and silos..It is very close to the brazos river, suspension bridge, texas ranger hall museum, Dr Pepper museum and a lot of restaurants.

Really enjoyed our stay. We had a king room that had a spacious living area with couch and mini kitchen. Upon check-in we were given complimentary bottles of water. We arrived during their happy hour and there were bottles/cans of beer and bags of chips, and cookies available for the taking. Breakfast has good hot options, an oatmeal bar and cereal. My only complaint is that the indoor pool room is really hot. It appears as though there's no heating/cooling in the room. My daughter wanted to swim, and I just wanted to chaperone, but I couldn't bear to stay in the room clothed more than 10 minutes. It's just way too hot, more so than even an indoor water park.

The hotel room looked really nice with lots of room with the big sectional. The kitchenette was a great bonus. The bed was not comfortable. The bad part was the bathroom had a dripping bathtub and toilet that kept refilling amd slowly emptying so had to close the door. There breakfast was really good and the indoor pool was a bonus. Has potential and served as a good base to walk around to the shops.

As a whole, the experience was good. The main areas are clean ecept for the corners and where the main vacuum will not reach. Maybe the Manager could take a walk down the halls with a pair of scissors and an assortment of Sharpies to touch up the carpet in the halls. Difficult to see clearly out of the windows, outside windows need a very good cleaning. Breakfast was decent. Bed was comfortable room was relatively quiet.

When I checked into my room, the rug was wet. It was so wet, that I stepped on towels to sop up the moisture. It was still wet in the morning. It was also stained with rust-colored stains in various places, and I suspect the stains were mold. The room stank of cigarettes. I asked to move rooms, but they were full. I also noticed that the screen facing into the alley of my first floor room had been plied away from the window (from the outside). I was so tired, I took a chance and stayed, but it was pretty nasty and scary ...

The hotel overall was clean and modern. That would be a 5 star. Parking is right in front of hotel. Walkable to Magnolia. For our room, it was huge! Kitchenette, large desk, TV and a very comfortable bed. All looked great. But the property decreased as door stuck and you had to slam it, bathroom wallpaper was peeling, bathroom door peeling, etc. The breakfast also lost a point. We stayed in 6 hotels and this was the worse breakfast. No fresh oatmeal (in containers you heat), no waffle maker just bagged to heat, there was no bagels filled, etc. Very low grade, average.

This property looks so dingy when you walk in to check in. It looks old and smells. The room was okay, but we sure didn't walk on the carpet barefoot. One of us slept on the sofa bed (not pulled out) and it really was stinky. Won't stay here again.

Ok so I gave 5 stars because of 3 main reasons 1) the location is so perfect 2) the staff are amazing and 3) the unit size/kitchen. I love this place and stay here every time I’m here. I will say that the only downsides are the unit noises. One stay there was a consistent rumble abut every 10 minutes and this most recent stay the AC was so loud it startled me nearly every time it came on. Some people may not tolerate those negatives but the positives outweigh them 100 to 1 in my opinion

Check in staff were friendly. Gave us a nice welcome bag with water and some snacks. Hotel and room itself seem a little run down. Only reason we are unhappy was they tried saying we didn’t pay for our room and charged us twice for our 1 night stay. We booked through Expedia and had proof that our booking was complete and paid for but they still were saying that we didn’t pay for it. After contacting Expedia and Expedia calling the hotel, they finally confirmed our room was paid for. Now just hope we get refunded for our 2nd charge.
