Top Lake Waco Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Waco Woodway

10/10 Excellent

"I would definitely suggest people try this place! The rooms were very clean and fresh. Each staff member was very courteous. The noise level was minimal; the coffee was excellent and the breakfast bar allowed for a variety of different selections."

Hyatt Place Waco

8/10 Good

"Everything Was Great Except That It Was A Sauna In The Hallway On The 2nd Floor. Once I Got To My Room, Room Temp Was Great. Not Sure If It Was Just A 2nd Floor Hallway A/C Issue Or A Hotel Hallway Issue... 1st Floor Hallway A/C Worked Great..."

Super 8 by Wyndham Waco/Mall area TX

8/10 Good

"Clean, friendly staff"

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."

"No"

Motel 6 Woodway, TX
