Top Baylor University Hotel Reviews

Aloft by Marriott Waco Downtown

8/10 Good

"We stay at either Aloft or the adjacent La Quinta when visiting our kids in Waco. Aloft is a nice friendly spot near Downtown, The Silos, Baylor etc. I wish the rooms had a couch or second chair. There is no seating - one single plastic chair at a desk. La Quinta has a couch in it's larger rooms. I also had security concerns at Aloft. I've never had a bad experience but it's directly across the street from The Projects. The only thing standing between the bad guys & you is a nice friendly young female at the desk.... No Security visible at night. Kind of creepy & I'm a pretty big guy. I recommend they hire some security."
