“Aloft Waco Downtown emphasizes modern, pet-friendly stays; the thoughtful touches for pets, like welcome gifts, certainly caught my attention, as did the hotel's vibrant social spaces and music-themed décor. While the location has received mixed comments, the free shuttle to Baylor and Magnolia Market adds definite value. I think this hotel particularly suits travelers who appreciate a lively atmosphere and don't mind being a short ride from Waco's core.”
