EVEN Hotel Waco - University Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was great. The location was perfect especially for the silos and castle. The room was very clean and the pools were a great amenity!"

Quality Inn & Suites Waco North

8/10 Good

"The room was clean but had a residue film on the whole floor that was sticky and itchy like cleaner left behind, the room smelled kind of funky, and the the dressers drawer kept opening on its own I assume from building shifts, but it was obnoxiously in the way of getting into and out of bed. Had to put a book under the dresser to stop it from happening. We were disappointed when we went to enjoy the provided breakfast only to find the pancakes were in the same warmer as the eggs and bacon which completely contaminated the eggs and bacon with gluten- thereby making it unsafe for its to eat anything they had available since we are celiacs. But other than these things it was just fine."

Fairfield Inn & Suites Waco South

10/10 Excellent

"The Fairfield was clean. The staff were quite friendly, helpful and pleasant. When we checked out, we inadvertently left one of our phones in the room. We discovered this about 20 minutes later while we were at a family gathering in town. I called the front desk and housekeeping had found the phone! Needless to say, we were relieved. We picked it about an hour later. Two things to note and the reason for my 4 star rating for the facility aspect: 1. Plumbing issues: The tub faucet leaked at the handle and the sink faucet was plumbed backwards. When you thought you were turning on the cold water in the sink, out came hot water, and vice versa. These are not deal breakers, just annoyances that need the attention of a plumber. 2. The fragrance/perfume that greeted you at the door and in the lobby was not unpleasant, just overpowering. The fragrance must come from some cleaning product. A member of our family has sensitivity to strong perfumes and was bothered by this, but was not debilitated by it since she was not in the environment very long."
