Have stayed here twice. It’s clean, feels more upscale than a standard hotel. Great bar, games and pool, Great restaurants are a short uber away.
Leah, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Our stay at Aloft Waco was okay overall. The best part was definitely the location—everything we wanted to do was just a short 4–5 minute drive away, and there were plenty of restaurants and places to check out nearby. The hotel has a modern look, and the room was fine for a short stay. Nothing fancy, but it got the job done. If you're looking for a convenient spot close to Waco attractions, it's a solid option.
Patricia, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very nice place to stay as it is fairly new.
Damon, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property was well kept and staff was attentive and courteous. The only one thing and I realize they are trying to revitalize that area is that it didnt seem too safe for those places that were with in walking distance. Other than that one draw back all the things we were interested in were no more than a 10 minute drive from the hotel.
Visit to the Dr. Pepper museum.

Location was very and front desk attendant was friendly and very helpful! There was no housekeeping service or fresh towels.
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great little hotel! The staff was friendly. The room was spacious, clean and comfy. The lobby was cute and I enjoyed a glass of wine from the bar. The only negative I noticed is that we were on the 4th floor and it took the water in the shower a long time to heat up, and even then it never got hot - warm but not hot.

Milton, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I love Aloft Hotels. One thing I love is the modern, clean design. Also, I love the walk in shower, modern sink. The staff are friendly. No complaints. I have stated in other Aloft hotels, this one and Fort Worth's are my favorites and the cleanest. I will be back, and look around Waco more.
Marcia, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very comfortable beds. Large bathroom. I got a late checkout, and the toiletries were top-notch- Blow Dry Bar. Will stay here again. We enjoyed the pool as well.
Jennifer, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The housing project across the street, homeless people walking around and yelling at my daughter, and boarded up convenience store across the street made this a “never staying there again” property. The second night I was there, I was awakened by a gunshot that sounded louder a very large caliber weapon. I was just about to fall back asleep when it happened again. Definitely not a good location for a hotel.
Housing project. This was the view out of the hotel front door
This was the view from my room. Notice the mattress on the sidewalk.
This is near the end of the hotel parking lot. The stairwell opens up to this street. I saw lots of “activity” around this place at night.
