The downtown aloft was a very good place to stay at. It has a nice pool and a good gym. It’s close to alot and is in a good area. I did come with my dog and this place was very nice and pet friendly. There’s area to walk your dog as well. And lots of food places nearby

The room was perfect and very modern. The hotel was spotless and the staff were friendly and professional. The hotel is centrally located near a ton of cool spots to eat, entertainment and tourist attractions. We will definitely stay here when we visit Waco again.
Room was not very clean but was quite comfortable. Pool was not heated and was too cold to use but fire pit was nice

Nice hotel. Close to downtown with all the activities to do in Waco. Hotel would be a five if it wasnt for a flashing light from the smoke alarm in the room. It wasnt making any noise but it flashed all night.

The room was spotless. The water pressure was very low and the TV volume had issues with staying in one position, it raised and lowered. The staff was kind.
The location was perfect we were about 10-15 minutes away from everything, the only reason I am giving a four instead of a five star is due to the walls are very thin. We heard our neighbor's alarm going off and were able to make out what TV show he/she was watching. Besides this we really enjoyed our stay and would return. Staff was great and bed was comfortable.
Staff was great just had some issues at check in
but other than that the rest of the stay was great nice quiet and clean rooms .. we'll definitely come back.
