Located across the street from Waco Suspension Bridge.
Thomas S.

Location, location, and location. This high rise hotel is located next to the convention center. The Waco Suspesion Bridge and riverside parks are literally across the street. Doris Miller Memorial is on the other side of the bridge. It is also within walking to most of the local and trendy coffee shops, cafes, restaurants, shops, and Dr. Pepper museum. In fact, we walked to many of the eating and shopping places. Baylor University and museums are only a 10 minutes drive at the most. However, our hotel room needed a major renovation. Closet doors not closing, mole in bath tub, bathroom tile missing, cold water in the shower was weak, and so on. In addition, ice machine on our floor was broken. There were some positive. Free wifi was strong. Refrigerator was cooling nicely. Parking was free. The cost was about $415, tax and fee included for a two nights stay. Overall, we would stay here again because of the location.

Lobby

Had a quick 1 night stay at the Hilton Waco. It is conveniently located/connected to the Waco Convention Center if you need to be there. I thought the lobby/reception desk area was cute. So small. All can be viewed all at once. Front desk staff was friendly. I enjoyed the nicer than normal room toiletries and plenty of coffee and key with free waters for Hilton Honor members. Beds were super comfy! Sometimes hotel pillows give me a neck ache and no problem here.

BAYLOR!!!!
Tanya C.

This hotel was absolutely amazing! I hate that we weren't able to stay here because it was sold out for the family weekend at Baylor, but we dined here for breakfast and a late night snack! Breakfast was buffet style, but you were able to request additional items and they were made so well. The service was impeccable and the first time in my life I ever had a raspberry flavored chicken wing and it was bussssss!!! Pls ask for them!!!

Concierge lounge

Ahh Hilton. Love ya - even tho you drive me crazy sometimes. We've stayed at the downtown Hilton several times and of course there are both positives & negatives: Positives: - incredible downtown location. Across the street are several awesome food trucks with some of the best chow in the city. - Beautiful views from the 11th floor concierge level which overlooks Baylor University, McLane Stadium, Magnolia market and historic downtown Waco. - next door to Magnolia market, Baylor and the historic suspension bridge. Not so Positives: - Hilton markets this property as a full-service / destination property but staffs it like a Hampton Inn. Always feel like they are short staffed at the front desk and bar / restaurant areas. - Room Roulette - I've had decent rooms and "upgraded" rooms that are as narrow as a bowling lane. Seriously - some of the rooms have showers you have to dance and turn sideways to get wet. - Pool - not a huge hotel pool guy but after a day of kids travel baseball games would like a pool area bigger then my poor uncles house pool. Give Hilton a shot when I'm beautiful Waco Tx - but check-in with your expectations set.

10th floor corner room, river view
Sarah P.

Thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay here. This is the first trip I've made in a long time that didn't involve booking lodging based on pet policies, so I took advantage of the big discount that came with the government rate here. I loved the option of choosing my own room before arriving - we got a 10tg floor king corner room with river view, and got here just in time to watch the beautiful sunset reflected on the Brazos. I received a text from guest services when I checked in welcoming us and asking if we need anything, then they brought a room service (Brazos grill) menu just moments after I asked for it. And our food was rushed up shortly after as well. Check the pics,he food was pretty tasty and still hit and fresh when it arrived. They also easily accommodated my request for late check out (1pm) to give my daughter extra time to splash in the pool. Would love to come back for another stay!

Stains
Melissa M.

Super outdated and needs a whole renovation. Stains on lampshades, couch no longer holds shape, closet is so tiny bathroom super tiny, furniture is old, dinged, shower caulking is missing and looks old/molded, mattress bouncy, pillows completely suck. Too much money for the quality. Oh and they gave us a note saying they are shutting the water off at 11am...good thing we are leaving! Won't stay here again....will look for something else next time. Such a disappointment and we usually enjoy Hilton stays.

This hotel is SO nice and clean very modern wonderful accommodations

See all

Upon arriving I was given an upgraded room featuring a living area , kitchen, large bathroom and separate bathroom! The room was clean, modern and comfortable. I arrived later in the evening after a long work day and no food so was happy to see that they have a restaurant and I was able to order some food to go - they called my room when it was ready and service was fast and friendly. The bed was comfortable and took is nice and dark! It's a little loud as it sits on a road but other than that, this was a great choice!!

As soon as I stepped in, I noticed how clean and modern the space felt. The design has a bright, minimalist aesthetic that gives off a very calm and refreshing vibe. After doing a bit of research, I found that Element markets itself as an extended stay hotel designed for the active traveler -- and that definitely came through in the details. Each room had a reusable water bottle, and all the water throughout the hotel is filtered, which I really appreciated. There was a mini fridge in the room, lots of built-in USB charging ports, and everything was set up to be functional, but sleek. The fitness room was a standout -- large, well air-conditioned, stocked with plenty of towels, and had all the essentials for a solid workout. I found out that they use the same beds as Westin Hotels, and it showed. Super comfortable mattress, plush pillows -- I slept really well. But honestly, what impressed me the most was the breakfast. It was complimentary, but far from your typical "budget hotel" buffet. Here's what stood out: * A yogurt bar with Chobani, fresh fruit, and nut toppings. * A variety of bagels, muffins, breads, and cereals. * Made-to-order hot breakfast options including a quinoa bowl, French toast, and an egg frittata with optional sausage. I went with the French toast -- a slice of toast cut in half, buttered, lightly sugared, and topped with powdered sugar and fresh berries (blueberries and strawberries). They even had a Nutella squeeze bottle, which was a fun and tasty touch. They also had a full-fledged cappuccino machine! It was such a pleasant surprise to be able to make a proper cappuccino in the morning. Overall, I had a great experience at Element Waco. With only a little over 100 Element Hotels across North America, it feels like a bit of a hidden gem. If I'm staying at a Marriott-brand hotel in the future, I'll definitely check to see if there's an Element in that city.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Residence Inn by Marriott Waco! From the moment I arrived,…read moreeverything about this hotel felt welcoming, comfortable, and incredibly traveler-friendly. The location is fantastic--only about a 10-minute walk to Baylor University, which made getting around the area so easy. Whether you're visiting the campus, passing through town, or staying a few days, it's the perfect spot. My room truly felt like a home away from home. The full kitchen setup was impressive--stove, full-size refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, dish soap and sponges, plus a coffee setup ready to go. There was also a dining table, work desk, living room area, and a separate bedroom, which made the space feel more like a comfortable apartment than a typical hotel room. It's perfect for travelers who want space to relax or stay longer. A special shoutout to Ricardo at the front desk--he checked me in and was absolutely amazing. He was so friendly, relatable, and welcoming, instantly making me feel comfortable after a long day of travel. Great hospitality like that really stands out. Overall, this was a fantastic stay in a charming small-town setting, I would absolutely stay here again. If you're visiting Waco and want comfort, convenience, and excellent service, I highly recommend it!

Turns out there was a construction accident nearby that had something to do with the unfortunate confluence of a piece of heavy equipment, a utility pole, and a transformer. So the phones, computer system and electricity was gonzo. But the staff was so incredibly nice and kind to us, we declined to move our reservation to another Residence Inn and checked in a few hours later after lunch and some sightseeing. Our suite was great with excellent flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, bed, bathroom and a great shower. We loved the free water and soft drinks available all day, as well as their included breakfast and even a beer/wine/snacks Happy Hour. We could not have been happier with our time at the Residence Inn Waco.

It's right next to all the tourist places, walking distances to restaurants and shops! We were greeted by Ms. Loretta at the front desk. She has the southern hospitality to the T. She is a local to Waco and directed us local eateries and places to go! We enjoyed having her. Don't forget to pack your swimsuit - otw there is a strip of shopping areas near by. Perfect size pool for the sundown swims. Several patio lounging chairs in well lit areas, two fire place seatings, provided towels easily accessible for use. Security key doors all around the hotel. There's a restaurant/ bar inside hotel! The dinner at the bar restaurant for a Cobb salad was not good. The chicken was super dried. Opt for the charcuterie board. Pepperoni pizza seems to be popular but they add the peppers. Make sure you know this before it's for the little ones. Excellent service hotel staff all around!

Check in was easy and all of the employees that I encountered were great. The hotel feels very new and is clean and modern. Navigating parking was a little inconvenient as the garage is not attached to the hotel. It was a little annoying to have to lug our stuff outside around the pool to get back and forth. The rooms were nicely appointed with plenty of outlets and lighting. The bed was a little too firm for my liking. My biggest issue with this hotel was the bathroom door. There is no real door, just a sliding glass partition that gaps. This means that you have essentially no privacy in the bathroom. I was travelling with a friend and this was a huge issue. The hotel was also hosting lots members of a sorority conference during our visit. The rooms are not well insulated, as I could hear my neighbors on all sides yelling late into the night. My stay here did not feature any restful sleep! Overall, this is a convenient location for Magnolia lovers, but if I would not stay here for more than a night.
