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.

Good value and space. A little isolated, but a flat 15 min walk from any downtown attractions.
