What guests think

Super 8 by Wyndham Waco University Area offers budget-friendly, convenient access to Baylor University and I-35, but many reviews cite heavy traffic noise, pervasive smoke or odor issues, dated rooms, inconsistent cleanliness, spotty maintenance, and mixed service, with breakfast frequently underwhelming.

Some guests found rooms clean enough for the price and liked the pet-friendly policy and easy access to restaurants. Repeated problems include nonworking TVs or Wi-Fi, aging fixtures and A/C, elevator issues, and reports of loitering outside. Expect a very basic stay focused on location and price, with trade-offs in comfort and consistency.

Do not waste your time booking at this facility. We checked in 5/16/25.The facility was filthy and unkept. Lots of sketchy by standers hanging out in the front. The elevator was not working. They only have one elevator. When we finally got the elevator to work we got to our room the air was not working. We get to our room the tv was not working. The window had no secure screen all the screws were out of the window so anyone can just jump straight out. There were no batteries in the smoke dectector Our room number was 301. The only other fire exit was locked and under construction. I don’t think the fire Marshall would approve that. We tried to get a refund. That did not work. For the price we paid at 208/night I feel like we got cheated. We will never stay here again.

Our room was spotless and when I turned down our bed the sheets were the brightest white ever!! Only problem is the interstate traffic is very loud if you can’t sleep with noise. Excellent place and we will be back!! I

The room smelt clean… almost too clean as it had a strong smell of pine-sol. However, the bed, bathrooms, and everything was clean and orderly. My room was missing any kind of extra seating aside from desk chair so it left a big void in one side of the room. Odd! The hallways were very warm like no ac pushed through hut no issues in the room itself.

Location to Baylor is the only upside. Room and hallway reeked of marajuana, cigarettes, and bleach. Room had holes on walls and ceiling. Bedding was COVERED in hair. There might as well have been no walls because the sound of 35 feels like there are driving right into the room.

Room was super dirty Smokey damp smells everywhere inside out side room. After check in I was out when I back the room floor was wet and full of water. Asking help at the reception area and they gave towel to clean the floor by myself. Middle of the night wake up and saw bugs flying inside the room. At the morning wake up with the sounds of hammer nailing the wall or floor. Also at the evening one guy knock at the door and said wrong room, mid night the same guy knock at the door. Restroom was pretty basic and minimal supply and there I found small insects playing around.

The hotel smelled like smoke, even the room. When we entered the lobby the place smelled like weed and there were people inside smoking. We got to the room and the linen, towels and room over all smelled like cigarettes. The smoke alarm was covered with a plastic bag which was shadym the window was open and it was just horrible. The cleanliness was ok and just ok because the floor had sticky stuff on it. Overall I would not recommend this place.

From the moment you walk in the whole first floor’s smell of marijuana just hits you. You keep thinking maybe that was just someone who walked in before me but later realize that the first floor smells like that all the time. I was there for two nights and the smell was so strong. Having so called “breakfast” in the middle of that stinch was just disgusting. The breakfast are was extremely dirty and the trash cans were so full you couldn’t even throw your own trash away. The coffee comes from a machine that makes like 15 other drinks as well so the coffee was horrible. It didn’t even taste like coffee. There were no coffee cups. Instead you are given really small styrofoam cup that leaves no room to add anything else to it. Your only options on breakfast was yogurt (mostly frozen), cereal ( looked very old), sliced white bread, or make yourself a waffle. The room itself seemed clean, but everything in there was so old and not well taken care of. The door had a hard time closing and had lots of drilled holes through it. The ceiling in the restroom looked very ugly from constant repairs on a leak from the room above us. The air conditioner would blow out a nasty moldy smell every once in a while. If I hadn’t prepaid for the room already, I would most certainly have walked out and left. Never again will I ever book that hotel.

We originally booked another hotel due to its location and they couldn't check us in, internet issue so we booked with Super 8. Check in was fine. Room was fine. Could use a room neutralizer. Super close to Hwy 35 so expect highway noise 24/7. It didn't really affect our stay. Was nice to power out at the traffic and thunderstorms a few times. Close to everything Waco. Affordable and you get what you paid for. Staff was friendly especially the Housekeeping crew! They ROCK!!!!

If it wasn't for the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, I would definitely give this place a solid 1. They were the only bright spot at this place. The carpets were filthy, cigarette ashes everywhere on the floor (despite being a non-smoking place), and the shower had mold on the ceiling that looked liked it had been just patched over. Don't even get me started on the weird black stains in the toilet!!! The beds were terrible - my husband said he felt like he was sleeping in a "V" all night. The noise from within the hotel was crazy - none of us got any sleep! We were supposed to be there for two nights for an event with my son but we left after one night. We opted to drive the hour and a half back and forth to our home instead of subject ourselves to this place any longer. The whole place needs an upgrade and DEEP CLEANED!! Front staff were FANTASTIC, tho. Super helpful and understanding. Keep them - change the hotel.

I reserved two nights here a month ago and was charged up front. 24 hours before check-in the robot texted "We can't wait to welcome you at Super 8 by Wyndham Waco University Area!" I arrived to check in at 10:30pm after a long day of driving and the person at the desk said my reservation had been canceled. I checked my email and had received a message at 7:53pm that night that it had been canceled. (I had not seen the message because I had been on the road driving to the hotel.) The woman at the front desk had about 5 of her friends just hanging out in the lobby/out front smoking while she shopped online and blew me off. She was dismissive and told me to call expedia and work it out. She assured me that my $174.61 would be refunded. It was not. I just talked to Orbitz support and they said the hotel is not answering their call. Took my money, disrespected me, and left me without a bed for the night. No apology, no explanation, no refund, no help. Terrible.

I didn’t even get into my room and immediately left. It smelled like urine in the lobby, and while the guy at the front desk was nice and tried to help me check in early, the manager was horribly rude, unprofessional, and honestly just a mess. I don’t even care that I couldn’t check in early (that’s a normal thing, I wasn’t upset about that), but the fact that she was so rude turned me away. It’s not like they have a great spot to be able to act that way. I don’t care if she had a rough fight with her boyfriend (in front of the hotel for the lobby to see btw). I had to get rescued by an Uber to get to a new hotel, and he apparently has had to rescue MANY a person from this exact Super 8. My new hotel also couldn’t get me in early, but the fact that they were kind, clean, accommodating, understanding, and even HELD MY LUGGAGE made me stay with them. Even though I spent $200 more there. Go to Hotel Indigo, they’re great. Never booking with Super 8 ever again. If you’re on a tight budget, save up a little more and go somewhere else.

Not sure when breakfast started but when I went down at 7 almost everything was gone and the milk was hot. If you’re looking for a cheap place to spend the night and save money this is an ok place.
