Wellness-first setup: A standout feature here is the in-room fitness zone concept, with select rooms offering a Peloton Bike, plus a 24/7 Athletic Studio for full workouts anytime.

Pool time done right: The outdoor setup is more than a basic splash pool, with two pools (including a lap pool), a hot tub, and a resort-style pool area that’s built for both exercise and downtime.

Social outdoor courtyard: The spacious courtyard adds a fun, low-key hangout option with oversized games like giant Jenga, chess, shuffleboard, and ping pong—great for families or groups between plans.

On-site food and quick grabs: EVEN Kitchen & Bar covers breakfast and dinner, and a 24/7 market makes it easy to pick up snacks and essentials without leaving the property.

Convenient Waco location: Set near the Brazos River and close to Baylor University, it’s also a practical base for quick trips to Magnolia Market at the Silos and the Dr Pepper Museum.

Parking made simple: Complimentary on-site self-parking with in/out privileges is a real plus if you’re driving around Waco.

Potential weekend energy: With a poolside bar operating on weekends, the pool area may feel livelier (and potentially noisier) at peak times.

No shuttle service: If you’re flying in, plan on rideshares or a rental car since local and airport shuttles aren’t provided.
