Spacious 2 queen bed room. Big bathroom. Friendly staff at the front desk and the breakfast area. I also love that it's located next to Starbucks but I didn't have to go there because they have a 24hr hot drink area. I had a raspberry tea at 10 o'clock at night.
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Nice rooms with refrigerator and microwave. Very quiet even with the highway nearby.
Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast had good choices. Located right off highway so easy access.
I was here long enough for 6 hours of sleep before getting back on the road. Room was definitely well used, could use some facilities refresh.
Very nice hotel. Super easy to get on/off the highway. Everything was very clean. The staff were all super friendly (front desk, breakfast area and cleaning crew). Breakfast had a great variety. Everything was fresh. We were surprised that the room charge was $50 more than when we reserved on line. Front desk staff were very kind and explained that it was an incidental charge that would be refunded after we checked out. In case you're wondering, we got the $50 back the very next day. The only reason we didn't rate the room a 5 was due to the bed being too firm. We prefer a softer bed. Other than that, we highly recommend this hotel as a good value place to stay
Very nice, super quiet room. Right off the highway, near the elevator and we couldn't hear a thing! Bed was comfortable, the staff was wonderful and everyone was so nice. Would recommend to anyone traveling through Waco!
The staff were charming! Shout out to Ricky and Ashley for their kindness and good energy! The room was so spacious, spotless, and looked like it had been updated recently. I saw other reviews that mentioned requesting a higher room number to be away from the interstate. I'm from a city, so the noise didn't bother me. However, if you need peace and quiet, request a higher room number. The breakfast was decent! I'm thankful for the available variety. The orange juice tasted a little off, but it was alright.
I stayed at this Hampton for work and honestly, it surprised me in all the right ways. The room was clean, cool, and ready the moment I walked in, which matters a lot when you’ve been on the road all day. The bed was actually comfortable, not “hotel comfortable,” but the kind where you fall asleep faster than you planned. The staff was genuinely kind every time I walked through the lobby. Not fake friendly, just real people who didn’t mind helping or answering a question. Breakfast was solid, plenty to grab before heading out for the job site. The location worked great, easy in and out, and quiet enough that I never heard hallway noise or people above me. After long days on installs, that kind of peace is worth mentioning. Overall, I’d stay here again without thinking twice. Good people, clean rooms, and a place that makes work travel feel a little less like work.
Just off Interstate 35, this casual, roadside hotel is 3.8 miles from the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum and 4.2 miles from the Cameron Park Zoo.
