I had a stay at the Even Hotel in Waco for a conference. I have to say the hotel was absolutely beautiful, and the service was 5 stars.
My biggest compliment will go to Nico Reyna your employee went out of his way to meet accommodations. He was extremely professional and helpful. He made the stay 100 enjoyable.
Next time, I travel to Waco, Tx my stay will be at the Even Hotel because of their employees especially employees like
Mr. NIco Reyna.

Nico! .... his service for us has been above outstanding. This was our second time staying here because of a Baylor University event. The hotel is well maintained, spacious and welcoming. I give Nico special credit for going beyond to take care of me and my sons. It was greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Such a nice and clean kid friendly hotel. We will definitely be back. The best customer service and cleaning staff etc. Nico was an absolute gem!
We stayed from Saturday to Tuesday and we had the pool all to ourselves on Monday, never too crowded the entire time of our stay.
Shuffleboard was fun. Large outdoor chess.
Gym was huge and had great equipment.
Very nice bar inside and outside by the pool with great cocktails and food. I believe they are only open on Fridays and Saturdays right now because it’s not busy yet with it being so new. It’s also in close proximity to everything!
Rooms were immaculate! Ice and water down the hall. Coffee and tea in the room. Shower is huge. And there is a full body mirror right outside of the restroom which is something I’m sure all the ladies would appreciate before going out to dinner.
Went to Camp Fimfo one day.
Texas Ranger Museum and Dr Pepper Museum another.
Lots of breweries and restaurants super close.
Saturday farmers market is walking distance to the hotel.
So many fun things to do!

I couldn't possibly compliment this hotel enough, from the friendly staff, the fitness room, the pool area, and the spacious rooms. Richard was the first person we came in to contact with, he was polite, and patient. We just wanted to view the location since our plans fell through at a different hotel in downtown Waco.needless to say he allowed us to view part of the hotel property, and we decided to book it online. This property is in pristine condition, the bar area is great for having a night cap, the pool is large enough for a large family, and the rooms are spacious. We worked out at their fitness room and it is first class all the way, plenty of machines and treadmills, it was perfect. Thanks Nico, for being helpful, very personable, and professional, as well as the cleaning staff, and breakfast crew. We will definitely be staying here again!
