Residence Inn by Marriott Waco

Air conditioning worked great, room was clean and stocked, staff was great. Location was easy to get in and out, but there is a parking fee of $3/day. Property needs updated (carpet in halls and paint mostly). Breakfast was pretty good also. Could use a pancake or waffle iron.

Mixed visit here. Staff was great, very friendly and helpful. Everything else, not so much. Rooms are dated and dirty. Walls are thin, so you get a lot of sounds from your neighbors. Shower drained slow so I had to stand in water every time I used it. My room had ceiling damage. Not enough luggage carts for me to use at either checking in or out. There were ants near the hot breakfast, which ran out of some of the food on my last day, but there were ants so I guess it was a blessing in disguise. It's only getting a 2 because the guy at check in was super cool. I guess if I were younger and wanted to get into the nightlife here, it would have been better. Alas, I'm an old lady and just wanted some rest during a business trip. I would avoid this hotel if you are in a similar situation.

Hotel is very conveniently located to the Silos, the river and walking/running paths, restaurants, etc. Room was clean, but it and the hotel overall felt "tired" and in need of sprucing up. Also a stale smell throughout; we wanted to open windows in our room to air it out, but one was stuck shut and the other had a hole in the screen large enough to let bugs in.
