La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Woodway - Waco South

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Woodway - Waco South

10/10 Excellent
"Had an excellent experience at this La Quinta. The service was second to none and our room was clean and bed was very comfortable. The whole hotel was quiet and peaceful. The person at the desk was cheerful and so very helpful. We were here in 2022 where we had such a bad experience with the desk person that we cancelled our stay. So nice to see she has been removed and the perfect ambassador has replaced her. Kudos to La Quinta. We look forward to coming again when more rooms have been upgraded. Thanks for the positive experience."
