It’s the Little Things

Amazing experience! My wife and I celebrated our 17 anniversary this year and in passing she had mentioned that she’d really like to stay at 1928…I don’t regret the investment! The attention to detail was phenomenal! Everyone was great and made us feel so welcome and made our stay all the more enjoyable.

I thought the Gaines did a great job of making this a beautiful venue. Currently, however, it is not being maintained in an impressive way. Dust was obvious in the lobby, the employees were not well trained, and dress was sloppy. The best service we encountered was in the valet parking and they are not part of the hotel management.

Great 1920's era feel. Very nice. Roof restaurant had great food and very nice view. Room was excellent, a little pricey for Waco, TX, but if they can keep it full, more power to them. We would stay there on occasion when in town.

A Bit Noisy South of the Brazos

In general the hotel was fine, but the soundproofing is severely lacking and I was subjected to the entire conversation between the 2 women in the room next to me. They were not loud, talking at normal levels, but I could hear everything they said... Thankfully the mini-fridge in the room, which apparently runs on diesel, was just banging just loud enough to drowned out the gals long enough for me to get to sleep. I was also told the rooftop restaurant, where I had booked a table, was closed due to a maintenance issue, although I was later informed was more driven by understaffing for a private event that evening. Not ideal, but I enjoyed a nice casual meal in the ground floor Brasserie.

Fixed Up

Unashamedly we were in town for a Fixer Upper fix. Hotel 1928 was a must stay and it didn’t disappoint. Our Austin room was tastefully decorated, clean and spacious. We also dined at Bertie’s rooftop and had one of our more refined (and healthy) meals in Texas so far. Walkable to Silos and also had free street parking available.

Worth a stay!

It was a delightful experience! The room was in excellent condition and very comfortable. Smaller than normal hotel rooms, but that’s to be expected based on the architecture of the building which was fun and beautiful! Bathroom was quite spacious and very nice! Food at Bertie’s was amazing and staff was pleasant and attentive. Definitely worth an “At least once” stay and a great “Step back in time”!

Very disappointed!!!

Maybe our expectations were too high, but we did expect a doorman and bellman service. Valet service was excellent and the valet attendant did provide us with a luggage cart, which we managed with difficulty to maneuver around the VERY small and congested lobby area to the elevator. Our biggest disappointment came when we arrived at our 2nd floor room. We were assigned to a depressing room with one small window and a view of a roof with airconditioners. I had purposefully reserved and paid for the Austin room with three windows. I immediately went down to the desk and inquired if we could be reassigned. I was told no, that they were fully booked. No adjustment would however be made to our rate. We found the front desk staff to be rude and very short with us throughout our stay. No information about the hotel or map of the property was provided. When we inquired later from the giftshop host about the location of the library, she curtly stated it was "for guests only". My husband politely informed her that we were guests and she asked for our room number. We have stayed in many very nice hotels around the world and never been treated so rudely!!! Another issue with the hotel itself, was the total lack of sound proofing between our room and an adjoining room. We could hear their entire conversations and their young, very loud, and crying child. We were made to feel that we needed to whisper for any privacy. It was not the special, relaxing visit that we expected!!!

The Hotel 1928 was a beautiful hotel and very nice staff, but the location and area around the hotel was not very good and not sure if it was very safe area at night. We were going to walk to the Magnolia Market from the hotel, but it did not seem safe. There were security bars on most buildings and establishments around the hotel.

Hotel lindo, incrível! Pessoal super atencioso, restaurantes gostosos, tudo perfeito! Voltaria mil vezes! Tem um estacionamento público na esquina, de graça. Só acho que os restaurantes poderiam ficar abertos até um pouquinho mais tarde (fecham às 9pm). Não conseguimos nos entender com o ar condicionado, queríamos desligar à noite e não deu certo.
