actually after calling most were booked....but I am at the travelodge right now....

Also looked at Econolodge and Fairfield...

I think the Travelodge will be okay. It's definitely not fancy. (I've never stayed there, since I'm a local). It's a little bit far from the ball parks, but "far" is a relative term in Waco... you're probably a 20 minute easy drive away. It's located in an area that has equipment rental places, carpet stores... that type of thing. BUT... it's a very safe area of town and close to lots of places to eat or otherwise burn time (movie theaters, malls).

Fairfield Inn has two locations - the one "north" is right off of I-35, newer (I think) and closer to the parks. The one "south" is fine - same area of town as the Travelodge. I stayed there when we first moved to town, and it was nice (10 years ago). :)

If it's not too far out of budget, the Quality Inn at New Road has good reviews. It's closer to the ball parks and across the parking lot from IHOP; a typical highway hotel. :)

Please post back before you leave if you want recommendations for food and entertainment while you're here! :D

Thanks...I will keep this in mind as they will be going back
