My wife and I recently stayed at the AC Marriott Waco. We had a wonderful stay and this specific hotel highlighted the friendly you are family attitude that we have one to expect from Marriot properties.
Our initial interaction was with our “ f...
ront office rockstar” Lauren as listed on her introductory card. And I have to admit she was a rockstar and more. From remembering my wife’s name ( she has been here only 2 other times for one day each) to knowing other guest names. She attended to every detail we needed with our stay . She had a friendly smile, kind words and absolutely represented the Marriott brand impeccably.
I have no higher compliment I can offer other than I said to my wife I would rehire her in a minute to represent my brand any day! She made you want to come back just to see her!
Well done and highly recommend this facility in Waco.

What a wonderful stay at the AC Hotel in downtown Waco! This Marriott property impressed us from start to finish with its modern design and consistently excellent service. Our two-queen room was beautifully maintained and ready for our early ch...
eck-in, and the mobile key made everything effortlessly convenient. The pool area quickly became our favorite spot, with its inviting outdoor fireplaces and comfortable lounge seating! We enjoyed delicious meals at the breakfast buffet and from the à la carte menu, and our Christmas Eve at the bar was particularly memorable thanks to the head bartender’s warm and attentive service! Even parking was a breeze with free street spots available. As a devoted Marriott guest, I can confidently say the AC Hotel Waco earned a 10/10 rating! Thank you for making our Christmas truly special—we’re already looking forward to returning next year!
