I need to attend a wedding in North Dallas and did not want to get stuck in traffic coming back to San Antonio so I opted to stay here. The owner opened the place up an hour early for me so I could shower and get ready for the wedding. She didn't have time because it was, so last-minute to order pastries so she gave me a gift card to a local restaurant that was absolutely incredible and right up my alley. I plan to do this again.

This was my 4th stay. And I will be back in October. HH feels like home to me. You get space and…read moreeverything you need.....even ear plugs if you are traveling with snoring friends. She also provides eye masks but we didn't need them. I highly recommend the World Cup Coffee breakfast option!!! Don't miss the fair trade shop that is attached to World Cup Coffee. When I have to leave early, I get the pastry option. The pastries are yummy. You also have access to games and books. A few years ago, I stayed in the first floor room. It's smaller but just as homey as upstairs.

Our church hosted a family retreat at Gathering Oaks earlier this month and everyone involved had a…read morereally great time. My husband and I were part of the kitchen/meal crew and stayed in the Gathering House. The kitchen was quite well-stocked and the extra fridge around the corner + extra storage space was much needed. We did have to bring some of our own equipment but we were thoroughly prepared to do so because Gathering Oaks provided all the information about what was available at the retreat center ahead of time. The sound proofing isn't the greatest in the main house for those staying in the ground floor rooms, but that didn't really end up mattering too much since I'm a pretty deep sleeper. Those who wake up more easily from loud noises may not have as easy a time staying in one of the bedrooms in the Gathering House. The facilities are all very well kept and the kids had a great time with the outdoor activities and the fire pit at night. Would definitely consider Gathering Oaks in the future for smaller retreats (about 40-60 people max).

The hosts are very gracious and excellent at taking care of their guests. Everyday started with a delicious made to order breakfast. You could pick from pancakes, Belgian waffles or awesome biscuits. You could also select your eggs. Every meal included bacon or sausage and fruit. It was a great start to our day. I highly recommend staying here! They have many repeat customers and there is a reason, it is simply an outstanding place. In a day when everyone is focused on making a buck, these folks are focused on taking care of their guests and making every stay a very memorable experience. You get a real sense of home away from home. The rooms are very comfortable and they even have California King beds and for a guy who is 6'9" tall it was exquisite. They define the word hospitality. Give them a try. You will not be disappointed. You will not find a better place to stay.

Had tea, coffee in the room and bottles of water if you wanted to pay $2 to drink them, fridge, iron, hairdryer. Checked in was smooth but clerk could have been a bit more talkative/informative. Large conference room on the first level, pool and outdoor seating was nice but it was December so I didn't utilize those. Easy walk to multiple restaurants, bars & shopping at Spice Market across the street and only about a 15 min walk to downtown Waco. Bar & restaurant in lobby, cleaning staff was very accommodating and friendly. Over all good average hotel experience but there are more modern hotels close by.
