About this property

The Ellis 2

Welcome to the Wesley by Jack. Located in Downtown Waco Tx. Our lofts are approx. 1,000 sqft and designed to accommodate guests who are looking for a quick getaway to Waco. Our open loft design makes this space feel clean and open. When we say close, we mean close. Magnolia Silo and Magnolia Press are only 2 blocks away which is easy walking distance and no hassle finding parking downtown. You'll be blocks away from all the great excitement Waco has to offer like shops, restaurants and much more

Cute and comfortable

The Ellis is so cute and comfortable. It was perfect for our party of 3. Great location, easily walkable to The Silos. Area felt safe. Host was easy to reach, the only issue we had was unlocking the property which was quickly addressed. Overall, highly recommend this property.

Girls Trip

Our stay in Waco was absolutely perfect! The accommodations were everything we could have asked for—comfortable, cozy, and in a great location. It truly felt like the best place to stay, and we can’t wait to come back for another girls’ trip. Highly recommend!

Waco weekend

Great place. Great location - a couple of blocks down from the Silos. A little noisy - train, dog barking throughout the night next door, and someone working one their car at 2:30am (revving the engine like a maniac). Could have been a little cleaner - hair in the shower drain.

Perfect Place to Visit the Silos.

This was a perfect place downtown that was close to the Silos. We enjoyed the walking to local places and the location of everything. Make sure you eat at the local places.

Good but not great

Not bad but not great. Would be great for 1 night but we stayed 3 nights and it lacked all the little extras. First, the owner was nice to reply and drop off a few things the property lacked. And the unit was very clean. Room for improvement: No stove, oven or dishwasher (just know that as I assumed they would be there)! Cement floors felt cold; makeup mirror lights did not work; property is right behind an outside bar which played music till late night (one of the nights), not to mention a train blowing its horn every night/early morning. Upstairs room very bright due to outdoor street lighting, and no table lamps to make ambient lighting in main living area- it was either main chandelier is off (and dark) or on and fluorescent bright. Overall I would give it 3 stars. For the price I was expecting the property to be a bit more quiet, comfortable & posh.

Perfect Location

Perfect spot to stay if you are in Waco for the Magnolia Market or Balcones Distillery like we were. We will definitely rebook in the future. The only downside we found was the 1st floor bedroom is SUPER loud when the air/heat comes on.

The Wesley by Jack will bring you back

The family and I absolutely loved our stay in Waco at the Wesley by Jack. What a great find that my wife truly loved. We are a family of 5 and we felt right at home in no time. We were down the street from the Silos which is why were were visiting Waco and it made it extremely convenient. The Ellis was equipped with all the basic essentials and supplies. Alicia was available at all times and again the family loved our stay and will be back again. It has already been shared to all our friends and family. Perfect if you are planning to visit Magnolia.

This property is in a prime location. We walked to Magnolia Market and downtown multiple times! We would definitely stay here again. My wife and I even mentioned that it would be cool to rent all 4 properties for a family trip to Waco.
