Top East Riverside Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Waco Northwest by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Cambria Hotel Waco Univ Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I needed a few days away from reality. I was looking on Expedia and found this property, and it far exceeded my expectations. The property is clean, the rooms are nice, and the staff is great. I was very surprised by the restaurant bar has a phenomenal menu and great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend staying here, whether you’re a family or just a couple. It’s a great place"

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."

Quality Inn & Suites Waco North

8/10 Good

"Hotel smelled a little weird walking in. However, the room was very nice and clean and didnt smell like the hallways did. Beds were ok for a 2 night stay, but not the most comfortable thing in the world. Loved the bigger fridge and mini kitchenette. Maybe Texas has more bugs than we're used to because there kept being weird flying ant/wasp things in the bathroom. Overall it was a decent stay and I would stay here again for the price."
