I love Aloft Hotels. One thing I love is the modern, clean design. Also, I love the walk in shower, modern sink. The staff are friendly. No complaints. I have stated in other Aloft hotels, this one and Fort Worth's are my favorites and the cleanest. I will be back, and look around Waco more.

Pool is really small - lots of chlorine it was kind of itchy to me and I’m an avid pool lover! It was annoying to have to use your key to turn on the lights in the room. The key also had to be used to get in and out of the pool area. No free breakfast. They had a place to buy it but would have been a nice touch. They did have a bar there. Location was across from Baylor. If you needed to you could walk to get something to eat. There were homeless people walking around outside. Overall I would pick somewhere else to try if I came back.

Great quiet room, the layout was really nice because it inhibited waking other persons up. The bed was super comfortable. We did not eat breakfast so I can’t comment on that, probably the only negative was the neighborhood. Not the best.
