Top Lake Waco Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Waco

8/10 Good

"The hotel was great. We only had one major issue. The door to the room was warped. You had to slam it to close it, which I’m sure disturbed other guests. I could barely open it to get into the room using my body to push in it and one time I was in the room alone supposed to meet my husband for breakfast after he went to the gym and I could not pull hard enough to open the door to get out and had to call for help. Thankfully, it wasn’t an emergency. The hotel was clean and very comfortable. The location was convenient for everywhere we needed to go. It’s nearly identical to the Hyatt Place in Austin. Just wish the pool had been outdoors. We would recommend this property."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Waco Downtown - Baylor

"Very beautiful property!"

Extended Stay America Suites Waco Woodway

8/10 Good

"Overall, I had a great stay at Extended Stay America. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff were friendly, helpful, and professional. The hotel is conveniently located near the highway and several restaurants, which made getting around very easy. The only downside was the condition of my room. The bathtub floor was peeling and coming off, and there were some issues with the bathtub ceiling that definitely needs some attention. Despite these issues, the excellent staff, convenient location, and easy access to restaurants made my overall stay a good experience. I would consider staying here again and hope the room conditions are improved in the future."
