Good if you are looking for a low priced hotel that is clean. But, if you are looking for a nicer hotel with a full restaurant and coffee shop, pay the extra and go for Hilton or Hotel Indigo. That is what we will do next time. Pros: • Polite Staff • Clean Rooms • Comfortable Beds Cons: • Small Rooms • Low Shower Pressure • Limited Menu at Deli • Limited Coffee Options (black coffee with cream) • Minimal Late Checkout Offered (30 minutes granted) • Only 2 Luggage Carts • Small Pool • Inconvenient location

Could do better

Bed was made up poorly with sheets on the wrong way. In a double room there should be two chairs and the lighting should allow for a smaller more discreet option in the bath area for middle of the night curtesy for traveling companions. Ice machine on floor was broke.

The property was well kept and staff was attentive and courteous. The only one thing and I realize they are trying to revitalize that area is that it didnt seem too safe for those places that were with in walking distance. Other than that one draw back all the things we were interested in were no more than a 10 minute drive from the hotel.
Visit to the Dr. Pepper museum.

Location is not good

Neighborhood is very run-down. The drive to the hotel from the Magnolia are has boarded up business after boarded up business. Numerous abandoned businesses and structures. I was surprised at the location.

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The housing project across the street, homeless people walking around and yelling at my daughter, and boarded up convenience store across the street made this a “never staying there again” property. The second night I was there, I was awakened by a gunshot that sounded louder a very large caliber weapon. I was just about to fall back asleep when it happened again. Definitely not a good location for a hotel.
Housing project.  This was the view out of the hotel front door
This was the view from my room.  Notice the mattress on the sidewalk.
This is near the end of the hotel parking lot.  The stairwell opens up to this street.  I saw lots of “activity” around this place at night.

Our stay at Aloft Waco was okay overall. The best part was definitely the location—everything we wanted to do was just a short 4–5 minute drive away, and there were plenty of restaurants and places to check out nearby. The hotel has a modern look, and the room was fine for a short stay. Nothing fancy, but it got the job done. If you're looking for a convenient spot close to Waco attractions, it's a solid option.
