While looking for a place to stay in Waxahachie, Texas, I came across The English Merchant Inn, a…read morebed and breakfast. This place intrigued me and decided to book this place for a week, since I was tagging along a business trip my husband had. Check in for this hotel is between 3- 6 pm. Unfortunately, my husband and I were not able to check in during that time and luckily had been able to get ahold of Howard, one of the owners of this place, and told us he would still be awake to check in until ~10 pm, when he goes to bed. But that he would leave the key in the cottage, where I had booked to get in, in case we come in after that. Howard was very nice when we met him (we ended up arriving after 9 pm). He showed us to the cottage, which is a small little place behind the main house (where there are 4 other rooms). The cottage has a king size bed with small living room. The bathroom is just a short few steps away from the sink. There is also a shower and a footed tub. I'm not a fan of baths and so I booked this place specifically for the shower. I wasn't too sure if the rooms inside the main house had showers, as I only saw photos of the footed tub (but there are a few rooms that do. I believe the room on the first floor only has a tub). The living room had a large TV and a Keurig machine with plenty of coffee and tea pods. I liked that a lovely tea set was provided to have my tea made in. As for breakfast, Howard had provided information for 3 places around town that we could get breakfast at. We ended up going to the White Rhino Coffee a few times and also El Mexicano Grill once. Overall, I would say that staying here was comfortable. Howard was very friendly and greatly appreciated him showing my husband and I a tour of the main house and most of the guest rooms (as we were the only ones staying at this bed and breakfast). But there were a few things that I want to mention that was unexpected. One was the daily housekeeping. Because my husband was at work during the day, I was staying in the cottage by myself. On our first day, my husband picked me up during his lunch so that we could pick up lunch at a nearby restaurant and then eat it at the cottage. When we came back, our door was wide open. I was surprised and thought I had forgotten to lock the door. But when I came in, I saw Tony, a friendly employee removing the sheets from our bed and putting on new ones. He told me that normally he comes by in the morning while guests typically would go out for breakfast but that he was late today. I had told him we didn't need housekeeping the next day. However, he came by, but only because I had asked Howard for some more tea pods for the Keurig, so he had Tony come by to provide new ones and clean towels. I didn't know if Tony would come but had a feeling, so I tried to take a shower very quickly when I woke up the next morning. The door that has the sink does not lock and because the way the shower and the mirror at the sink is angled, you can see someone taking a shower. This definitely made me feel uncomfortable, not knowing if Tony would come in for housekeeping and see me. Another thing that I want to mention is the train that goes all day and all night. The first morning we were here, I heard the train sounding the horn at 6:45 am and kept on going. My husband told me that typically the train will sound the horn when passing by intersections so cars know to stay back. I didn't really hear the trains too much later that first night. However, on the last night, the trains were going off all night long. I was so incredibly tired and severely sleep deprived when we woke up early the next day for our flight to fly back home to Los Angeles. I hardly was able to sleep (the train horn is very loud and you can hear it from several miles away). Also just wanted to mention that I heard a rooster around 6:30 am every morning and also heard the rooster in the afternoon each day. Same with hearing dogs barking. These noises didn't bother me but the train sound was definitely a problem. Of course these outside noises are not the fault of The English Merchant Inn but wanted to mention them. I really enjoyed my stay in the cottage at The English Merchant Inn but not entirely sure if I can stay again with all the noise. Where the majority of hotels are in this city, they are on the outskirts of town. According to my husband (he has traveled to Waxahachie several times for work), you can't hear the trains from the hotels, where he stayed before). If I was to stay here again, I would have to bring some really good ear plugs to block out all the noise for a restful night's sleep.

The cabin/ retreat house gave us comfortable easy-going farm-house feel. The bedding and kitchens were accessible and easy to use. We brought in our own catering. This is not a high-end resort, but a comfortable, clean and outstanding location for a church group, wedding, or family reunion.

It is a beautiful facility, well maintained, decorated with class, clean, and comfortable. There is free parking, though the spots close to the main entrance are limited. The parking extends towards the highway and behind the hotel on the pool side. Shops and restaurants are within a 15 minute walking distance, or a short 4 minute driving distance. The beautiful Midlothian Community Park is also nearby and huge with great walking trails. The staff are professional, friendly, and do their job well. Check-in and check-out were both easy and pleasant. I had been here once before during the Covid years, and this time was more relaxed. There are many amenities including free WiFi, a nice outdoor pool, a small gift shop and convenience store, fitness center with free weights, and self service laundry. Pets are allowed though I didn't see any. The room was very nice, very comfortable and clean. The linens were high quality. There was a small mini fridge, microwave, and large screen TV. My king bed room and a sofa and ottoman along with a small table on which you could place a drink or snack you're working on. There was good lighting and plenty of electric outlets. I did not see the conference rooms or business center, but I did notice a wedding event had taken place. The only negative is the prices are on the higher side. Everything in the Dallas area runs higher, but if you want a high quality hotel this is an exceptional one.

With several work trips coming up, I decided to give Marriott some attention--and that's how I ended up booking my first stay at a Fairfield Inn. While searching for Marriott options in Waxahachie, this property stood out with generally positive reviews online (except Yelp apparently!), especially around cleanliness. Although the photos online made the décor and color scheme look a bit dated, I ultimately chose it based on the strong feedback. I drove in from Austin on a Monday night and check-in was smooth and easy. One small note: I wasn't offered any complimentary water bottles at check-in, which is something I've typically received at other Marriott properties with status, so that was a little surprising. My room, however, was very spacious and--true to the reviews--clean. The bed was comfortable, the pillows were soft and plush (just how I like them), and there were plenty of towels. No complaints on room comfort. The next morning, I was pleasantly surprised by the complimentary breakfast. In addition to the usual buffet staples, they had a kale, spinach, and egg white frittata that really stood out. It was like a larger version of the Starbucks egg white bites--basically two in one--and it tasted great, with a nice hint of cheese. There were also breakfast potatoes, Chobani yogurt, an oatmeal/yogurt topping bar, and decent coffee. Definitely above average for a complimentary hotel breakfast. Overall, I had a very good stay. If you're looking for a Marriott brand hotel in the Waxahachie area, this Fairfield Inn is a solid choice. Clean, comfortable, and a surprisingly good breakfast to start your day.

Yes, they have a pool (which had a sign saying it was closed, even though we saw people in it that night), but the hot tub, the reason we chose this motel over others, was cemented in. And I mean very cemented in with a patio table on top. Why advertise a hot tub when it's clearly been gone awhile? My room itself was great. There were a ton of people in the motel, but I really only heard the hoard of teenagers in the hall in the morning. The bed was comfortable and clean, not to mention it had enough pillows for my liking. The room itself didn't have a list of TV channels, nor did it have a "book" about the location and businesses/events around the area. It was weird, like a stripped room. Anyway, the room was comfortable and the shower worked very well. The room was clean, which I'd expect. If the hot tub was there like advertised, perhaps I could give it 3 stars.

Our room was never cleaned. The staff assured us before we left that our room would be cleaned so they switched our rooms again and our third and final room had a mold in the bathroom on the ceiling. The doors are very easy to open from the inside so they don't lock well. Our child had ran out the room and kept trying to and is a door we tried to put on the locks, but she was able to escape. I will not be staying at this hotel again. It was supposed to be a vacation but instead, it was very stressful every room we went in, had something wrong whether it was outlets, mold, or the blinds and also having no soap in the rooms to take showers. The breakfast was OK. The elevators were extremely scary. I thought they were going to break every time we went up and down they were making weird noises and stalling. we paid 140 for the original room but since they had to keep on changing our rooms, our total ended up at 170 when it was something out of our control.
