Top Cameron Park Zoo Hotel Reviews

Comfort Suites Waco North - Near University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean. Staff was accommodating. We checked in late and checked out early but we were very pleased with our stay"

Hotel 1928

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful time at Hotel 1928. I was surprised that there wasn’t an area to get ice; however, the receptionist at the front desk was more than willing to go get us some ice. The hotel serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the Basserie restaurant. The dinner was good, but the dinner was pricey and the portion servings were small. I had the roasted chicken and for thirty-one dollars that was all I got. The seasoned vegetables were not edible for they were meant to be garnishments."

Robinhood Lodge, Modern Family Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"Great place!"

Walk to the River or Downtown. One block from Cameron Park. 1 Mile to Silos!

10/10 Excellent

"Cute little house near downtown Waco. Conveniently located, a short drive to downtown and The Silos, short walk to the Zoo. House is just as cute as the pictures, had everything you need. House could use a little TLC and minor maintenance, but we enjoyed the stay and would return again. Thank you very much!"

Green Retreat on Proctor - 3.5 Bathrooms

10/10 Excellent

"Overall we enjoyed the property so much! The home was so clean, beautiful and felt so homey. Great location as well! Would definitely stay here again. "

White Retreat on Proctor - 3.5 Bathrooms!

10/10 Excellent

"Great place! It was perfect for our family of 6 since everyone had some personal space on the 2nd floor. The open first floor was a nice congregation area!"

My 100 year old Waco home - near Magnolia

10/10 Excellent

"The house is very convenient to Baylor and all of the downtown hot spots. Worked very well for our party of six with plenty of room to spare. Communication was very smooth. Would stay here again and again."

New & Downtown! The Bear Claw

10/10 Excellent

"This was easily the nicest VRBO I’ve ever stayed in! Beautiful home that was clean and had a great layout. The furnishings, linens, dish-ware, etc. are all extremely nice, even the decor is sophisticated and fun! We really enjoyed the pool - perfect for hot summers in TX. We fit 4 adults & two toddlers with plenty of room. We walked to the zoo, since it’s across the street one morning too. Communication & check in was top notch and it really was worth the price. If I’m back in Waco again, I will absolutely stay at The Bear Claw and recommend it to anyone!"

2 Mi to Dtwn: Stylish Family Home in Waco!

10/10 Excellent

"Property super clean and super cute! Would recommend to everyone! Address that we were given lead us to another property so we thought people were in our VRBO. Our address was 508 B and the address given took us to 508. We attempted to get in touch with owner. It was late when we arrived which i completely understand that’s late to call but we needed some assistance understanding where to go. I drove around and found a house on a different street name w 508 B but the gate was closed and I wasn’t aware of gate….besides this small misunderstanding where property was located, the stay was amazing and the owner did reach out first thing next morning"
