Beautifully designed gem in Waco
I typically don't write reviews but was highly impressed with our stay. The rooms were clean and spacious, the shower was hot and great pressure, the bed was comfy & slep great. The pool area was beautiful with 2 pools, hot tub, ping pong table & chess mat. The gym was nice & had everything you could need for a good workout. The hotel in general was modern and beautifully decorated. The location was good. We strolled across the bridge to walk to dinner. Free coffee in the morning in the lobby. We ate brunch in the restaurant and had a wonderful omelet. Overall for a quick trip for my sons baseball game it was a great experience and will definitely stay there again!

Great stay
Beautiful hotel! Loved the atmosphere and it felt high end. I loved that the toilet in our bathroom had its own door. Loved the Bluetooth mirror in the bathroom for getting ready and the bed was so comfortable with floor to ceiling blackout curtains! Only recommendation is that the tv be a smart tv with more viewing options.
