Studio 6 Waco, TX - Downtown - Baylor
The room that i stayed in smelt like smoke, the bed sheets were super itchy. If you bring you own blankets to lay on and cover up with that can be solved. But everything else was what i payed for. A room that works, shower, fridge, microwave.

Central to everywhere we needed to be in Waco. Accommodation were clean, rooms cozy and atmosphere appealing. The kitchen had everything we needed for our 2 days stay. I will recommend!

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Waco Downtown - Baylor
Great facility. Close to all the things and service was wonderful. A great price with a nice breakfast. The only criticism was the bed and pillows in the room were not comfortable for the four of us.

Hyatt Place Waco
The staff was always helpful and seemed to have a genuine hospitality. Room was clean and smelled good. My only complaint if thats what you can call it would be for breakfast to be till 11am on the weekends.
