This is one of the best service hotels we have ever stayed in. Joann and Genis went above and beyond, bringing ice to our room more than once. If we ever have the occasion to stay at a Cambris Hotel again in the future, will definitely stay again.

"Great Getaway at the Cambria Hotel Waco TX!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
I recently traveled about an hour and a half south of Fort Worth down to Waco Texas. I had heard of a new hotel that had recently opened and read the reviews for the BLVD Steakhouse. Wanting to sample the menu. I made a reservation at Cambria for the evening. I settled in too my room before going down to enjoy the meal. I was looking forward to having the rooms are spacious, clean, quiet and very comfortable. A friend and I decided to have a cocktail at the bar and sample the pork belly bites which were very good I selected butternut squash soup, followed by brown sugar, salmon as my entrée and completed my meal with the delicious bread pudding. All the food was prepared and served beautifully. What a great little getaway in Waco, Texas, the Cambria hotel with the Boulevard steakhouse!
