We had an amazing experience staying at Cambria Hotel Waco University Riverfront. The property was beautiful, and overall we truly enjoyed our stay. Our only concern was with the Anniversary Package offered during pre-check-in. The package was $210 and included a bottle of wine, dessert or charcuterie board, bouquet of flowers, riverfront view, complimentary breakfast for two, and late checkout. While we received most of the inclusions, the dessert was initially missing, and the room did not offer much of a river view. Thankfully, Sabrina, the Sales Manager, was very helpful and promptly resolved the issue regarding the missing dessert by providing a refund adjustment. We appreciated her professionalism and effort to make things right. That said, for the price, we personally did not feel the Anniversary Package was worth the cost and likely would not recommend adding it. Aside from that, we had a wonderful stay, and if we’re ever back in Waco, we would definitely choose to stay here again.
This was our “riverfront view.” It was the second room we were moved to after the first didn’t have the two queen beds we booked. I confirmed it would be riverfront before transferring, but this was the view we received.

The hotel itself is very nice. My room was spacious and spotless. Unfortunately I discovered the shower did not work at all. Once pulling up the lever to transfer the water from the faucet to the shower head it didn’t come out.

Very friendly staff. Across from the bridge that is lit up at night. However, I wouldn’t walk around there at night. Nice updated and spacious rooms. It was just my husband and myself. The restaurant and waitress was very nice. Piano playing was beautiful in the evening in the restaurant. We only had breakfast there but it was very fresh and delicious. Close to attractions. Not far from guetto areas but that’s to be expected in any city I suppose. I wouldn’t go to the closest store which is the dollar general if you need anything like we did. lol trust me.
