Holiday Inn Express & Suites Waco Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"First, the breakfast and Rosie who oversaw breakfast was Awesome! Our room, the black out screen was crooked though cleaning people didn't seem to notice. Nor did they notice the water spot on the floor. They did clean up the water spot. Later that evening the water spot appeared again, coming from the fridge. The lady at front desk offered another room, though we were settled in, so we just had her pull the fridge. Water went everywhere. Felt bad for front desk lady having to do this on her own. I believe 17 rooms were filled this night. I guess we got the worse one. Room and bed were clean and nice. Front area was littered with cigarette butts."

Hotel 1928

10/10 Excellent

"We planned our stay at this hotel because we are huge fans of Chip and Joanna Gaines. This hotel was super clean and very nice, my only gripe would be that the did not have the magnolia network available of their TV's in the room. I would think because this is their hotel, they would have this available. But otherwise, the food in both restaurants at he hotel was delicious."
