The facility was nice. I didn’t like parking in the back (it didn’t feel safe b/c it was too dark).

I have stayed here prior and the staff is always very friendly and helpful. The ladies that work in the breakfast area are always extremely nice and helpful There are some minor issues that could be addressed from a maintenance standpoint, but overall the hotel is in good condition. The one thing I would love to see changed/expanded is the workout room. There is one treadmill, one recumbent bike and one elliptical machine. It would be awesome to have more choices.

The people were great, but disappointed as we went out and came back to jump into the pool and they closed it 45 minutes before it said it would be. The main reason we got this was because of the pool and the extra sofa bed. The area was very clean but they could have told us the pool would close early. Our 3 children were disappointed.

Located near many dinning options and minutes away from down town. Unfortunately pool was not open which was a bummer. Overall great experience

The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful anytime we dealt with them. The room was very clean and plenty of space for a family of 4. We had the 2 queen room with a full sofa bed. The sofa bed itself needs some work. Mattress is flimsy; mattress pad stained and not fitted to the mattress. The bedding was in a bag in the room which was good. Staff made the room up every day with the exception of the sofa bed the one day I did not make it- which was odd. Having the microwave was good for the kids when they wanted leftovers. The location is convenient to the Hgwy and is only 3 miles to Waco Convention center which is where our activities were held. Do lot plan to walk to the center or the silos or any attractions from here. These are not walkable routes. Plenty of food in the area. Pool was clean and clear, lots of sun warms it during the day. The breakfast looked and smelled good, however we did not make it down for it. Parking on site was not an issue and this location was definitely a good thing we rented a car. Only issue we had was our room keys kept not working which we needed to return to the front desk multiple times to have them activated again. I would say invest in new pillows. The square pillows don’t cut it size wise and are very lumpy or too soft. I would stay again.

It was post in lobby, that after curtain time, all exterior door would require card entry. However the side entrance door handle was wire-tied open. I informed the front desk, but they didn't do anything. So anyone could enter and exit freely on side entrance.

The location was great with easy access to freeway and local spots we were visiting. Everyone from front desk to room service and dining areas were always happy and ready to help in any way. Very efficient with meeting any inquiry or request. Having one access to the parking lot gated to minimize traffic offered a nice safety aspect the pool areas were cleaned daily and the breakfast offerings were plentiful.

Staff was nice and helpful but our room was filthy. It smelled like cigarette smoke, there were roach droppings in both sinks and stains on the bed and pillows. Based on that, we skipped breakfast. Parking lot was full of trash. Won't stay here again.

The hotel was a little run down. Cracked areas, peeling plaster above and around ac unit. Speaking of ac unit, we could not get comfortable the entire stay. It wasn't cooling appropriately and at intermittent times, it began making a squawking noise. The breakfast was adequate. The beds were too firm. It was an average stay, but less than we expected. Reese was very kind and helpful at check in.

The air conditioner in the room did not work well. The wall thermostat said it was disconnected and a controlled on the actual unit. On the unit, the only settings were a temperature control for warm or cold and then on cold it was low or cool and fan. It didn’t matter whether I kept it on fan or max cool it remained hot in the room all night long and was miserable. The beds were also not comfortable and the couch was extremely hard

Overall, good hotel, needs some updating to be on par with other comparable hotels. Staff was friendly, room was decent other than being warm despite the thermostat saying it was 67. Recommend replacing the tub/curtain combo with updated walk-in showers

Rooms are clean and comfortable, the beds are comfortable, but pillows are small, square rather than rectangular, and thick and dense, so that definitely lowers sleep quality. AC was not working properly, so the room was fairly hot. The free breakfast was awful and needs improvement. Otherwise, other than these issues and some road noise, it was a satisfactory stay.

This property was excellent in a lot of ways. Unfortunately the location suffers from massive construction leaving everything around the property compound dirty and confusing to drive through. A benefit was that Magnolia’s Table restaurant was just across the street and the Silo’s were only 6 minutes away. Everything at the hotel was in good shape, worked, and they had plenty outlets so we could charge our electronics.
