Top Lake Waco Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Waco

10/10 Excellent

"This property is close the Central Texas Market Place. Which has lots of shopping and some places to eat.you can actually walk if you wanted to."

Super 8 by Wyndham Waco/Mall area TX

8/10 Good

"Not bad."

Knights Inn Franklin Ave Waco

8/10 Good

"The price was good - relative to everywhere else. We paid $115 (which included taxes and fees) for a Saturday night stay, As stated by another review - it was not in a sketchy part of town. It was small but it was clean. We got the last room (there was a college football game in town), and it was a queen-bed. The bed was comfortable. No amenities, just a good, clean place to sleep. It was quiet. The room next door had several children - we barely heard anything. The bathroom was spacious enough. There is just enough parking for one vehicle per room. No sort of continental breakfast. No complaints by us."

Motel 6 Woodway, TX

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful & kind. Couple of roach like bugs that didn’t bother me any, might others so I’m just reviewing honestly. I would stay again, no question."
