Free continental breakfast provided for all guests

Several restaurants within 1-1.2 miles, including Lula Jane's Bakery and Tru Jamaica Restaurant

Cons

Located 9.3 miles from Waco Regional Airport

Limited on-site dining options with no restaurant on the premises

“The location is advantageous for accessing game day events, though some visitors have reported concerns with room conditions and front desk service; budget-conscious travelers may find this acceptable given the area's high demand during peak seasons. For guests prioritizing game proximity over amenities, this spot presents a viable, if basic, option. However, some experiences indicate potential issues with booking and unexpected deposit requests.”
