Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Scenic lake views from the outdoor pool area [1.5]
- Free hot breakfast and Wednesday evening socials
- Full in-room kitchens with full-size refrigerators and dishwashers
Hurtig oversikt: It's a solid extended-stay option with great lake views, but aging rooms and noisy AC units mean it's overdue for a renovation.
Gjennomgått av @HtlVidder: My stay at this Waco suite was so comfortable. I loved having a full kitchen to cook my own meals, and the separate living area gave me plenty of space. The absolute best part was unwinding in the huge whirlpool tub. It really felt like a home away from home.
