“Residence Inn Waco offers a suite-style experience, including kitchens, that particularly suits longer stays near Baylor and the Silos; while some areas show wear, the attentive staff clearly makes a difference to guests. With a focus on value and a welcoming approach, this hotel stands out for its convenient location and pet-friendly policy. I believe a refresh would elevate the property to match the staff's high standards.”
