Residence Inn Waco

Clean hotel pretty much in the heart of Waco. They have a lot to offer, basketball court, indoor pool, free breakfast. Clean large size rooms. The rates are high. But other than that. Nice little place

Beautiful hotel with kid of amenities. Free breakfast, dinner and wifi. Where can you stay and eat and drink for free? Nowhere! Tonight we had Tacos and all the wine and beer you can drink between 6 pm to 7:30 pm. The rooms are immaculate, see my pictures.

WOW!!! Best place for price, accommodations and the service is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! We arrived after a horrendous trip from San Diego, to San Antonio and a 3 hour drive in the middle of the night to Waco and didn’t arrive til 3:30am with three little ones and 6 adults. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and provided the best service!!! The entire stay was so great it truly felt like family and we had known them forever. The rooms are beautiful and the beds are so comfortable and when it comes to beds I’m picky! The laundry services are great as well! One night we were so tired from the days activities, we decided to order dinner in but still wanted to get that feel of going out so we brought it downstairs into the dining room and it felt like we were having dinner out but also at home! Just what our family loves!!! I could go on and on about how great the Residence Inn at Waco is but I’ll stop here! I highly recommend it!

What a great place to stay for Baylor families. Just down the street from Baylor campus. Super convenient to location and the rooms are nice, clean and we were able to bring our 2 little dogs.
Big kudos to the management team for hiring Sonita. She was a ray of sunshine each morning as we came down for breakfast. Friendly and attentive. She made the stay feel like we were staying with family.

This is a nice place to stay while in Waco. Honestly, I prefer the hotel Indigo next door. They had a renovation I think a year or two ago. So it is kinda nice.
The rooms are nice, because they have a kitchenette and living room. So it is nice if you are here for awhile.
The staff is super friendly as well. Especially Terry.
My only 2 complaints are as follows:
1. They allow dogs, which I find very disgusting, what if people have allergies.
2. Their breakfast is horrible, but hey it’s free.
A lot of the guests here are not very nice either, when I stayed at the indigo, the guests were alot friendlier.

While the housekeeping staff and kitchen staff has been excellent, the ladies at the front desk made me feel uncomfortable there after being displaced out of our home from a flood. I hope to NEVER have to use this hotel again. It’s unfortunate this is the only hotel that could accommodate my family but they did not have to make us feel unwanted with the snide stares and acting like we were an inconvenience to them.

Having spent over 70+ nights with Marriott in the past 12 months, I see my share of hotels across the country. This has become one of my fav. From the moment of walking in, greeted with smile. The rooms are great, staff is wonderful, water pressure is beyond awesome! Great location to the Convention center.

First time to stay here, spent 2 nights and we enjoyed ourselves. Staff was fine and pleasant. Continental breakfast was well stocked with plenty of options with a slight variation from morning to morning. Room was clean and comfortable. Only issues were minor. No trash bags in the room, there was train that came by in the middle of the night (but not too noisy), and the pool only goes to 4 feet. The pool faces the parking lot with lots of windows so you feel a bit on display. Hot tub was nice.

Exceptionally friendly staff. Better than average hot continental breakfast. Huge rooms. Will definitely be back.

Wow, so wonderful! I was so impressed at my lovely room, which was truly a huge suite, with a large kitchen, living room, and bedroom. The breakfast had fresh fruit, above and beyond an apple and banana. The pool was lovely, and I got in a private swim, no kids allowed between 6 and 8 am, thankfully. Nice and quiet, right near Baylor University. Loved it!

I have been coming here for years love it perfect stay as always

We had a suite with a fireplace. The hot breakfast included scrambled eggs, sausage patties, waffles, and oatmeal! The RI was a strong 5 star hotel as compared to other similar hotels. The staff was super friendly. We will stay here again.

Wonderful experience! We have stayed at a few places in Waco but this is by far the best experience for the money! I love the fact that the rooms have fully equipped kitchens and the layout is modern and comfortable! The staff was very friendly and the grounds and facilities were very clean and well kept! The breakfast was excellent and the food hot and plentiful! My 9 year old loved the indoor pool and this definitely will be our go to place when we visit his sister who is a student at Baylor. The location is so close to the campus and there is an HEB plus only 2 miles away! Highly recommended!

This place was very nice. The rooms are big and spacious with a small kitchen and sofa with a chase. The staff was alway courteous and always willing to help. I’ve stayed at a few hotels in the area and this place has the best rooms for the right price.
Awesome free breakfast everyday and dinner Mon-​Wed!

I can’t say enough great things about this hotel. I have been visiting this hotel for the past 3 years on a quarterly basis for work. We were heartbroken when we couldn’t get a room recently due to their current renovation. The location is perfect: down the street from Baylor and the downtown area. Cameron Park (check it out!) is just a few blocks away. The pool is always nice, clean and warm. There is also a hot tub that is rarely used but hot enough. The best part of this hotel is the staff and how they go above and beyond. Once, it rained so bad that we checked in barefoot because our shoes were soaked. The front desk immediately ran and got us towels to dry off. The food is also fantastic. They have a Southern gentleman who makes dinner in the evening and it is always a spread with dessert. Not like some of those hotels with an evening reception with only a hot dog and no bread. I’ve had burgers, lasagna, and BBQ. The breakfasts are even better with a peppy lady who helps out. Every time I look forward to her
«Good morning, good morning» in rapid staccato. She puts together parfaits, fruit, and hot breakfast dishes. Oh, there is also a soda fountain machine which is nice to get a jolt of caffeine to take on the road (that isn’t coffee). Love it here!

wonderfull place to stay!!! great breakfast, every morning!!!

Oh, how I love you, Residence Inn! We love these little oasis on the prairie. This was a typical stop, and well-​cared for.

We basically lived here for 2 months on weekdays when we moved cross country to Waco and were in the process of buying a new house.
My family and I were really impressed. The hotel was clean, comfy and they often bumped us up to a 2-​bedroom apartment because we were regulars. The nice thing about the 2-​bedrooms is they have an oven. The 1-​bedrooms and studios have stoves, though.
There is free dinner 3 nights a week, which is nice. The free breakfast is a cut above normal free hotel breakfasts. They always have hot food and the standard stuff as well.
The staff were super nice, and they got to know us and our kid pretty well! The pool was nice.
I’d recommend this place to anyone staying in town for any length of time.

Our house flooded in a plumbing incident, and our insurance company ushered us to this hotel, telling us that we’d be staying there a month or more while they rebuilt our floors throughout the house. My mother was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer during this time and had a double masectomy scheduled to take place while we would be living in the hotel, so naturally both of us were quite nervous about the experience.
First off, the hotel itself is incredibly clean, well-​maintained, and nice. It’s not a luxury resort, but the rooms are very comfortable, with soft, large beds and flat-​screen TVs. You get basic cable plus a few extras and free wi-​fi that’s pretty quick, although I did have a bit of lag while streaming video from Netflix. The bathrooms are spacious and well-​stocked, and the kitchens are loaded with basic cookware, appliances, silverware, tupperware, etc so that you can cook your own meals with minimal inconvenience.
Every morning the place serves breakfast, and the spread is pretty great. They have oatmeal, waffles, grits, scrambled eggs (made from actual liquid eggs, not powder– the chef showed me the container when I asked!), sausage, hashbrowns and more. They also have a wide selection of yogurt, fresh fruit, granola parfaits, a variety of juices and milks, danishes, breads, bagels, muffins (including AMAZING chocolate-​cheesecake muffins) and even several different kinds of coffee.
Three evenings a week they also serve dinner, which is all-​you-​can-​eat and completely free. When we stayed, Monday nights were ‘nacho night’, which consisted of chips, ground meat, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, pico, rice, beans and more. They also had a keg of Budweiser for anyone old enough to drink it! Tuesday night they did a chicken spaghetti type dish with a salad bar and a chocolate cake for dessert, and Wednesday they had barbecue, salad, pudding, baked beans and more. It saved us a ton of money on food while we were there and they even let us make to-​go plates to take up to our rooms to nosh on the leftovers later!
The staff were very courteous and friendly, and after two or three days they knew us by name. When my mother had her surgery, the staff would regularly check on her while I was at work, calling the room or stopping by to make sure she didn’t need anything. When it came time for us to check out after a month, the front desk clerk came to our room and helped us load the luggage racks with our belongings, escorted us out to our cars, helped us load the cars, and even carried my mother’s get-​well flowers for us in the 105-​degree heat.
I cannot recommend this hotel enough, it was a dream and they did their absolute best to make us feel like it was a home away from home.

Breakfast was good (standard items but good quality), and the linens in the room were very very nice. I think we were on the 2^nd floor, which was very quiet. The people at the front desk weren’t particularly helpful, which kinda sucks since I work in Hospitality and I expect people to at least SMILE and be nice, but whatever. Its a chain.
