The honest truth about this place.

This place sucked. Stay as far away from this place as possible. That’s if they even let you check in. The hotel staff is extremely hateful, disrespectful, and displays the direct reflection of how much they hate their life.

Hotel (N)OYO

When I arrived the rude clerk behind the bulletproof glass told me they were fully booked up and that I would not and could not check in. I said politely, I don’t understand? I have a prepaid room. Forcefully and rudely reiterated that I would not be checking in. Finally, she asked me if I had made my reservation on Expedia. I said yes, and she asked my name and she looked down and muttered apparently to herself “That wasn’t there before”, looked right back up at me and told me they were overbooked and I could not check in. I left her there raging in her cage and went and checked in at yet another Hampton Inn

DON'T STAY HERE!!!! HIDDEN FEES! VERY RUDE PEOPLE!

WARNING!!!!⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ I booked this hotel because it was cheaper than anyone else in Waco. I do not advise staying here they want to charge you a $250 damage fee and $100 deposit, but they do not make that clear when you book the room. They stole my momey from me and refused to refund me my money. I even called hotels.com and they call the hotel and they still refused. They are rude, ungreatful, disrespectful. I had to sleep outside with my kids on Christmas Eve and it was cold and raining. They absolutely ruined my kids Christmas. They will not let you talk to a manager either! I do not recommend staying here at all...STAY AWAY!!!!

At first it looked ok for the price. Then roaches started coming out of the woodwork and uncovered the bed and there were bugs in it. Tv didn’t work either. So I left and booked another hotel. Didn’t even stay there. A waste of money

I never stayed at this hotel. I was turned away at the door stating the property was full and my reservation was canceled. Expedia has failed to help me with a refund and I cannot get the hotel’s customer service to answer the phone.

It’s what you expect for the price

It was a standard stay the area isn’t great with shady people around the hotel area. A bit dirty but expected for the price. The staff was super friendly and professional.

Don't stay at this OYO Hotel.

This was the worst experience I've ever had. We had booked this room about a year before we were scheduled to arrive since it was to see the solar eclipse. This was one of the few hotels that still had rooms available. When we got there, front desk told us they overbooked and we didn't have a room after all. After being on the phone with Hotels.com for about half-an-hour, we were able to find another room, thank goodness. Not to mention, the hotel's condition was horrible. It looked dilapidated and there was actually a man sitting on the floor of the lobby crying. I'm actually glad we didn't stay there in the end. Never again

Refund?

I booked my stay. Got there & they said they’re fully booked. It’s been 12 days, & they still have not refunded my money. Their costumer service is horrible.
