Cambria Hotel Waco Univ Riverfront
Only complaint was the 4th floor ice/water dispenser was out of order. Great staff, elegantly appointed. Worth the money. Oh, the beds, they will shift if you and your lady friend are aggressively playing.

Great location to the Silos. Lots of restaurants and breweries in walking distance. Garage parking with the hotel. Great stay if visiting Waco. Nice pool to cool off after a day of walking around to see the sights.
