Nice place. Good food…read more We walked in to join the wedding party and it was really warm inside the building. Only 15 or so people inside at that point. The air conditioner could not keep up in May when the high outside was 90. I looked across the room at any given point and most of the crowd was sitting and fanning their faces with paper. Sweating. Sitting and sweating from 5pm until 9pm. I asked one of the servers about the situation and they stated the owners did not properly fit out the building from an air conditioning angle. My wife is eternally cold, even in summer. She even said she was hot. Rent in cool weather only.

The Not so Good: -Did not love the breakfast selections (received one voucher per day redeemable for one item). Out of the breakfast burrito both days, and the breakfast biscuit was something found in the frozen section. Cinnamon roll was so dry I didn't even bother eating it. -If your room faces the road, it can be noisy at times with loud cars. Not bad, but not great.

I honesty did not have much hope Sydney I arrived here as the immediate area looked a bit run down but the lobby is bright and inviting with a bar and snacks , and nice and modem. The room did not appear as sparse as Alofts usually do. It was again bright and modern, very clean , cute decor . I liked that the TV had a full range of channels not just the basics ( gonna admit after a long day at work, mindless Bravo shows are always a good watch ) Two desks and lots of bright lighting. Nice clean bathroom with Dry Bar shampoos and Conditioner which is one of my favorite brands! Nice clean mini fridge, coffee machine - impressed ! This will be my go to when I work in this sea

There were a few folks there selling things but it was pretty deserted. There's a stairway up to a higher level where the artists work but being the holiday season it was also pretty empty. The employee was very nice and was giving recommendations about a certain artist to check out. The parking situation is limited and you'll have to find a street spot or pay to be in a lot.

Great shop featuring local artists. If you are passing through Waco, make time to stop in.read more
