What guests think

Across reviews, Element Waco is praised for clean, modern, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and a standout cooked to order breakfast; guests also enjoy the pool and lobby bar, while noting highway noise, occasional AC or maintenance issues, and inconsistent housekeeping.

The location is convenient to Magnolia Table and Baylor with easy freeway access, though some found the immediate area limited for nearby options. Service feedback is largely positive but includes reports of slow or problematic check-in and delays getting help when issues arose. Overall, expect a modern, comfortable stay with lively social spaces, but request a quieter room and confirm amenities that matter to you.

We loved our stay at Element! It was very clean, spacious, quiet, breakfast was great, and the hotel amenities were nice! The lobby has a nice large sitting area to enjoy the provided beverages, including cappuccinos, lattes, coffee, water, etc. We were impressed with the cleanliness. Would highly recommend staying here when in the Waco area! Bonus that it's very close to Magnolia Table, which we also thoroughly enjoyed. Great experience, friendly staff, great stay!

The property was beautiful, staff was friendly, and location was great. I only gave 4 stars because of two small issues. First, when I checked in I asked not to be on the side close to the freeway. I’d read in previous reviews it gets loud, and they were right. My 9 year old granddaughter woke up and said she couldn’t sleep because of the cars. Secondly, my room was never cleaned. We left early Friday to go to Waco Surf, we were gone all day and when we got back the trash hadn’t been taken out, bed wasn’t made, and no fresh towels. I tried to called down to the desk but the phones weren’t working properly. Even with these issues we had a great time, met some awesome people, and the kids loved the pool area. I would definitely give them a second chance and stay again.

This hotel was conveniently located. The standard king room was huge and had a mini fridge, microwave, dishes, a safe, a huge closet and bathroom and the bed was comfortable. The pool and hot tub were great. The complimentary breakfast had a menu choice of 4 items that a chef cooked to order. There was also fruit, a yogurt bar and muffins/bagels and cereal. It was delicious! The staff were helpful and friendly. We were impressed and highly recommend staying here. We will stay here again.

Candace was amazing. We’d had a terrible flight, 6 hours trapped in the terminal and we missed our connecting flight due to plane mechanical issues. We were hungry and exhausted. She was professional and helpful. She made sure we had everything we needed, all with a cheery, encouraging disposition and politely ignored our grumpiness. Candace deserves a raise in salary just for dealing with us!
