“The all-suite setup, complete with kitchens, leans into longer stays, with evening socials adding a nice touch. Its location works well for those visiting Baylor or exploring the Silos, and I appreciate that they welcome pets up to a reasonable size. It's a solid choice if you're planning to be in Waco for more than a quick overnight.”
