It is really close to the Silos and parking here will save you the $10 Silo parking fee. There is not always someone at the desk, nor does the phone always get answered. BUT, the hotel has EXCELLENT communication. We received a text before checking in with all the info we needed. Then, advice to text if we needed anything. Actually we sent a few texts that were IMMEDIATELY answered. Impressive! Even in the largest of other hotels, it can take some time to get a real person. We were immediately texted when we had a question about parking, then accessing the room, and others. I read on one review that there are about 10 parking spots. Actually, there are probably 25 to 30 in the lot. We found that we could park in the lot with no issues at various times. NOTE: Some spots are marked with "Reserved Parking". I asked the hotel and they related that hotel guests can park in those spots. We were told about possible train noise. We did hear it a few times, but it wasn't bothersome. In fact, there were ear plugs in a black pouch in the bathroom should this be an issue. There was also live music in the 4th floor bar until midnight. We could hardly hear it & we were on the 4th floor as well. BTW, there are superior views of the silos from the rooftop and other places in the hotel.

This is a unique property, being constructed of shipping containers, but you would never know it…read morefrom the inside. It is designed extremely well for a boutique hotel, and appointed nicely. What's it near? It's DIRECTLY next to the Dr Pepper Museum. It's only a five-min walk to Magnolia: Chip & Jo Gaines' shopping area. But, do NOT come here for the "breakfast bites", which is their substitution for breakfast. Sadly, there are only 2 breakfast foods, both bad for you: cereal laden with sugar & yogurt laden with sugar. And, for a boutique hotel, there was a lack of coffee. Yes, there was a coffee maker in the room with 2 pods for us, but no creamer. It was on another floor. We were here 2 nights, and the pods weren't replaced. No coffee the next morning and nowhere in the hotel to get some complementary coffee. That was odd because almost every hotel has coffee, some 24 hrs a day (Holiday Inn, etc). In summation, the location couldn't be beat. Check in was smooth with Courtney at the front desk. We would have never found this hotel were it not for a Travelzoo offer.

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.

What makes the AC Hotel Waco amazing is the air conditioning. Oh my gosh. No, it's the kind staff ... and the amazing air conditioning. Given that the hotel is situated on the surface of the Sun - sorry Waco, you've got a crazy hot city - well functioning AC is not a premium, but a must. The AC Hotel delivers. I guess you can say, the hotel lives up to its name. Oh geesh, sorry - that's a really bad pun. Look the take home from my review, this is a really nice place to stay while in town. The friendliness of the staff makes it an obvious first stop location.

I was surprised that they only had one person running the bar as well as serving the tables. She did an amazing job, so much that another patron gave her a $100 tip, but it was way too much for one person. I saw that they had Tikka Masala on the online menu which I was excited to try, but it wasn't on the menu in the restaurtant. I had the Tikka Masala flatbread which was just OK, not enough flavor and too doughy. I'm willing to give them another chance the next time I'm in town.

It's located in an historic building and it boasts a restaurant/brew pub (fully operational brewery), a beer spa, and a beer garden. Yelp has a separate page for the brewery/pub. This review is for the hotel itself. The rooms are a combination of industrial and traditional decor with luxury linens, copper soaking tubs, copper sinks, and comfortable beds. The copper tubs are perfect for a relaxing bath after a day of fun in Waco. If you're a craft beer lover as I am, then you know a stay here is a dream come true. I've yet to do the beer spa and plan to on a future visit. The hotel is clean and well-maintained and the staff are very professional and helpful. Free, onsite parking. Who knew you could experience an old world, European, brewery stay just an hour or so from Austin?
