As you’ll see in MANY reviews, the staff here are OUTSTANDING! If I was to run a hotel these are the people I would want to be running my daily operations They are kind, and eager to be helpful! The value here us great and the hot breakfast every morning is always nice to have The cinnamon rolls are too good yo pass up

Sure the elevator isn’t lightning fast but there’s only 3 floors so really it’s a moot point The outside pool area is such a fantastic place to hang out with your morning coffee or evening beer Downtown is just a 2 minute drive away and only a few minutes to any of the larger neighboring towns This central location is great for those wanting to explore different towns and activities Again the staff will be happy to tell you what’s going on in the area They truly are the reason this place is a 5 star!

Wonderful experience! I stayed here for a month while working in town and it was such a pleasant time The GM Jessica was exemplary and her staff was attentive and kind Being as particular as I am, they served my request with professionalism and kindness

The rooms are spacious and clean It was a joy every morning or evening to greet them as I left/returned to/from work The complementary breakfast was good with some of the best coffee preparedThough there isn’t anything nearby within walking distance, one of the perks staying there is seeing the deer roam on the grounds in the early morning or at dusk Holiday Inn has up’d their game over the years and the Solado location and it’s staff represents the chain with quality service Thank you Jessica and the staff, the CL team will miss you

The staff from the front desk to house keeping are super nice Suites/rooms are roomy, stocked and clean If there is a issue they will work to resolve it

Location is great, easy access to highway, stores (HEB around the corner) as well as places to grab a bite to eatI have stayed at some of the places near here and it’s just not the same atmosphereI travel to Killeen once a month for work, and this is my preferred location

Jeff Gunter

Wow Where to start? I travel a lot for work and always stay at Marriott I’m Platinum Elite (not that status matters to Marriott), but I’d expect them to at least make an effort

This hotel was gross There were roaches in the room and in the breakfast area I asked for my room to be cleaned every other day and the front desk said they’d take care of it It wasn’t cleaned once in a 12 night stay I’d be hard pressed to find a hotel in America that cares less about it’s customers Stay somewhere else if you value cleanliness and comfort

Richard Montoya

If you’re deciding between TownPlace, Fairfield, or the Residence, do not hesitate on choosing the Residence Inn I have tried all three hotels (back-to-back) and the Residence is a significant upgrade – room, bed, and breakfastIn second place, Fairfield

Beds were “meh,” but the breakfast was very goodIn third place, TownPlace The bed was terrible It was thin and firm, to the point you can feel the pocketed coils If you sleep with a partner, you can expect to feel every movement they make Also, the A/C was loud and not very efficient(This same review will be posted on all three Marriott hotels)

No restaurant as advertised Only “finger foods” My room smelled like dog urine when it was warm

My room was NEVER CLEANED and I had to ask for clean towels which were small and hard I had to put my trash outside my door along with the dirty towels thinking the management would see I had no towels but they never even entered my room for service I’ve machine doesn’t work No breakfast as advertised and when I asked for my room to be cleaned it never was Horrible horrible service Tv is from the 1990’s and only one person at the front desk was friendly I’ll definitely be telling my company to never book hereever

Diana Morales

The rooms were decent but over priced They advertise breakfast and there is TERRIBLE service in the breakfast area No cups

No coffee, no juice Saw the server rinse off utensils that fell on the floor with water and her bare hands The food that was there, was cold We got no assistance from management and the girl in charge of the breakfast area talked on the phone the whole time she complained about her job and customer expecting coffee

Kyle Behrman

The door system was breaking was the start of the horrible le stay The suite was full of holes and cracks throughout the room The handle on the shower would randomly fall off the faucet

The TV was not even a flat screen and only 1 bed could see a good angle I found a beer bottle cap on the floor of the room The beds were very uncomfortable along with the bad pillows I spent extra money on this hotel because the reviews claimed it was 4 stars The outside appearance make you think it’s nice inside Had I checked yelp I would of booked a room at the Marriot

Dee K.

My stay here was comfortable I’ve stayed at better looking La Quinta Inns but this one night stay ahead of a meeting served its purpose My room was close to the roadway so the noise was constant

The bed was rather comfortable so it made up for the noise The front desk agents were very friendly and pleasant to work with

RRena Patterson

I want to say this place have a very friendly & compassionate staff We booked the meeting room & 7 rooms for a funeral Had to make several changes over the week, last minute cancellation etc without any added stress

Not sure any other place would’ve been this accommodating, understanding & compassionate John Jessie, & Sarah dealt w several calls a day from me over a week without ever giving me an attitude Full Breakfast, coffee , drinks & cookies throughout the day Clean! One lady ask what time our celebration of life would be so she could be sure to have the hallway cleaned & shinny before the guests arrived I chatted w her about the loss of her loved ones Made us feel at home & never felt rushed It was awesome to have a place to catch up with family & friends some came from out of state We are truly grateful

krysti jarrett

We stayed at this location over the weekend We felt like we were staying at a premium resort from all the nice staff They answered all our questions promptly and listened very genuinely

We did have construction going on but as soon as we arrived with the other guess they left so that it was very quiet over the weekend There is a lot of work to be done on at this location as far as condstuction Don’t know when it will be fully done But would recommend to everyone Glad we stayed here

My coworker and I stayed here for the night on the 14th of may 2022 everything about the hotel was great clean beds clean rooms good breakfast The reason I am only rating this as a two star rating is because my coworker ran into a problem with the lady who was working the night shift she wouldn’t believe him when he said he had a room already and she called the cops on him all because he’s black I found this very racist and very disrespectful he had even already been in the room I had thought very good of the place until this incident occurred but now… I will never stay at this hotel again I’m very disgusted with how this lady handled things and very disappointed in this company for allowing a woman like this to deal with customers on a daily bases

A. Anderson

The room is fairly clean (beside the white curtain has mold), the reception area is nice, the pool is next to the tree so not too hot in the afternoon The room comes with free breakfast and kids love making their own Texas shape waffles The front desk was very friendly!Overall it is a fine hotel

If it is not because of the curtains and the noisy AC I would give it a five stars

James Dukes

Customer service was excellent

room was very clean and I’m super picky towels were very white and clean Furniture in the room very clean The only negative thing I have to say was the cable didn’t work But the manager told me that when I checked inthey had a cable guy working on it I appreciate the honesty and transparency from management

Clay Henderson

The room was clean But there was a little musty odor in the air It was 100 degrees our whole visit, and the ac struggled to keep the temperature in the low 70’s in our room

But, with a very low relative humidity It was comfortable The staff was very courteous to us, and helped with any questions or concerns we had I am in the middle of discussing some billing issues with Marriott, however, because our rate was $30 more per night than our rate shown on our reservation from a month ago And there was an unexplained random $80 charge on our final bill The breakfast is so so, but the mixed drinks at their bar are expensive and taste horrible Top shelf liquor mixed with old and generic mixers My margarita tasted like a dead mans foot smells Though the bartender was extremely nice

Tonya Henry

This location is easy to spot from Hwy 190/I-14 It sits adjacent to the Killeen Mall and in the same lot as Panera Bread The suites are kind of small in the living room so if you have more than two people in there, it will be tight for sitting room

The bedroom is a nice size though It is actually picturesque in the foyer The bar was not open The pool area is nice also There is a laundry facility and small gym area as well

Robbie Rodriguez (AR Autoworks)

Location is good Able to jump back on the highway to get goingThe little bistro inside is good for just kicking back after a day of traveling

This location does NOT have free breakfast

Sierra Grinna

Let me preface this by saying I used to be the GM of a hotel group in Denver, CO myself There is no excuse for the way me and my coworkers were treated during our stayStaff was incredibly mean and dismissive

Only friendly faces were Hector and the cleaning ladies despite that they don’t tidy the rooms at all for entire staysDogs barking and shedding everywhere, as well as cigarette smell in the halls Washers and dryers were never working The GM is very rude I’m not sure how her staff can put up with her because she inserted herself several times as we were gathered in the common areas Seems she is always out for smoke breaks I never felt comfortable in the common areas in the mornings/mid-day when this GM was on shift The night staff was relatively friendly and accommodatingIt seems there is a superiority complex with the head lady and she needs to be checkedI don’t recommend staying here My room stunk like pipes and sewage for the two weeks we were here as well We gave this hotel a crazy amount of business, probably the most they’ve had all year yet we’re treated terribly There was religious racism involved for several coworkers and in 2022 this is unacceptable The Super 8 would’ve been a much nicer stay!

Leslie Lee

Well I really can’t review my stay because literally 10 minutes from pulling in to check into the hotel they called and said they were “over booked” and cancelled my reservation We had just driven 3 hours to get there and was driving to pull in the hotel when they let me know we had no room No explanation as to what happened or any prior notification so that I could plan something else for our stay

I have travelled lots of places for many years and NEVER had this happen before Best Western will never get my business And bless Courtyard by Marriott for stepping in and taking care of us

Evan Lueras

On behalf of myself and my family we are very disturbed with the experience we had at Best Western in Killeen I don’t ever take the time to write reviews but this was absolutely intolerable The people at the front desk told me “you complain too much” when I asked them for a new room key

The reason I needed a new room key was because the first one they gave me randomly stopped working On top of that, one of the younger hotel workers cat called my wife saying “Which room do you stay in I’ll be over there later” Unreal Not my fault for having an absolute dime of a wife who is the loving mother of my kids Show some respect Best Western will go out of business by the end of the year at this rate Never dealing with them or recommending them to anyone ever again Bye!!!!!

I went on an annual weekend getaway with a group of ladies that have been lifelong friends Through the years we have stayed at several Bed and Breakfasts, but the Yellow House was the most amazing! Rooms in the main house and several separate small cabins and old houses have been updated and decked out in vintage decor If you go as a family you can have your own little house and if you go with a large group, the gathering spaces and kitchens are ideal

And, I can’t say enough wonderful things about Sara and James, the owners and innkeepers! Very attentive without being in the way Sara has studied at a culinary school and the food we were served in the large cook’s table style kitchen and dining room was outstanding! Definitely not your typical boring fruit and pastry B & B fare! Croissant strawberry bread pudding for breakfast one morning with Mimosas We also had dinner there one night with several courses including beef or pork tenderloin and wine and loved it as much as any fine restaurant Whether you are a couple, a family or a larger group, this charming Salado getaway is perfect for everyone! We plan to go back next year!

Charlene Reeves

I don’t know where to start in describing my stay (with 11 friends) at the Yellow House EVERYTHING was perfect: from Kleenex in EVERY room to scrumptious meals to comfortable beds and linens to condition of accommodations to available soft drinks and water to the innkeepers Sara and James You name it, and it is provided

It was so great that my group will be returning next year We get together every year, and this is the best we have experienced since 1999 Book it!

Allie Folger

We had our wedding here in June and everything was perfect!! Their wedding packages are unbeatable- and their Barn is absolutely stunning!! The owners are so kind and thoughtful with what they did with the place There are many spots around the venue that work perfectly for a ceremony and plenty of parking for up to 75 people My sister and I stayed the night before and woke up to an amazing home cooked breakfast as well

I could not have asked for a better day!

Green Tea

The hotel it self is clean and nice The breakfast was okay, and the pool was good too It is smoke-free so that was good, however we did smell a little bit of cigarette smell

It wasn’t that strong, but we could smell it Of course the hotel can’t control people, so it’s gonna be difficult to get everyone But if they put a cigarette detector in the room like they do on planes, that’ll probably fix the problem

Don Juan

Miss Liz at the front desk is the absolute best Heard she’s not the manager, well they need to promote her! Stayed here for 2 months while waiting for a house, the staff accomodated every request and did their best to help your situation Stayed in single bed and two bed, good rooms

Only complaint is slow wi-fi so hard for online gaming and the water is never too cold if you wanna take a cold shower/bath

L. Wal

This was one of the best stays I have ever had at a hotel! The rooms are beautiful, comfortable, and most importantly clean Breakfast consisted of egg omelette, biscuits, bacon, pancakes, muffins, danishes, bagels, and fruit There was a sweet German lady who was seriously on top of her game! She kept food stocked and was very helpful

The pool was open and refreshing! I cannot recommend this hotel enough

This place is what I assume Austin is was like before their big boom A really cool vibe in the rooms, pool and a nice bar by the pool Beautiful trees and landscaping

The pool was lovely and the area is super cute The staff seemed nice, but you could tell they were stressed and understaffed (very common right now) They say they can do breakfast but 1) it’s very limited with just tacos and basic coffee and 2) they said they’d take 1-15 hours to arrive, so I’d recommend a cute cafe nearby Dinner was nice though! Check in was at 3, but my room wasn’t ready until 3:30 (another sign they’re understaffed) Rooms were clean and had a very cool vibe Loved the patio I will definitely be back

Rachel Hanses

This place feels like a step back in time The pool is amazing, the rooms are adorable and the pool bar lounge area is brand new The new owners have done so many cool things

The negative reviews are knit picky of a small business doing their best The service, the amenities and the grounds are gorgeous We loved it so much that we’re pool members now

Denise Martin

This hotel is so unique, we wish we could have stayed longer The beds were super comfortable! The road noise was not bad at all (as we’ve read in other reviews regarding this property) We tried the restaurant, the food was delicious and the service was great

We can’t wait to go back to this property for a longer stay We give it a thumbs up
