“A great find!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

We stopped at Cotton Palace on our way from Memphis to New Braunfels, TX for the holidays. Didn't know anything about it, but it seemed like a nice place. It was the best Christmas present I could have asked for! Beautifully decorated for the holidays, warm and inviting atmosphere. The very best room we could have imagined. And the owners are the very best. We also ate dinner in Waco at the Diamondback Restaurant and it was great too! We will definitely go back to Waco, just to stay at the Cotton Palace again!

Room Tip: We stayed in Erin's suite, which had an extra room/suite between the main room and the bath. It...

“Savoring the art of hospitality!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

I was attending a conference at Baylor University, which left my mind full at the end of each day's presentations. The Cotton Palace offered creature comforts and good conversation that helped me to process the day's learning and prepare for the next.

“Great B&B!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

We had a wonderful stay at The Cotton Palace. Our bed was very comfortable, the sheets and towels were very high quality. It was quiet and we had a wonderful night's sleep, after a nice soak in our jacuzzi tub. Our room and bathroom were immaculately clean, and there were cold water bottles, ice, and wonderful cookies available to us. We even had our choice of coffees, teas, and flavored creams.

The Cotton Palace is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, and we were able to have a very enjoyable visit with Dutch, former baseball coach at Baylor University and owner of the inn during breakfast. Our visit with Dutch was icing on the cake.

I highly recommend The Cotton Palace.

Room Tip: We stayed in "Amanda", which has a very large bathroom, large jacuzzi tub, and large showe...

“The Cotton Palace is a gem in the heart of Texas!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011

We had the sincere pleasure of staying at the Cotton Palace for the first time in September. Originally, we had planned to just spend the weekend, but we ended up staying for a week. Our daughter, who is a student at Baylor, broke her leg and required surgery. She was able to recover at the Cotton Palace instead of her dorm, and the stay couldn't have been better! Becky, Dutch and Matt went over and above to make sure we were comfortable and cared for at all times. We felt like we were part of the family. The house is by far the nicest B&B we have ever visited. Coupled with the amazing food, this is a place you don't want to miss! If you find yourself in the heart of Texas, cheering on those Baylor Bears, be sure you plan to stay at the Cotton Palace. You won't be sorry!

“Delightful !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed here for Baylor Parents Weekend Sept 2011 and had a delightful stay. We were welcomed graciously. The rooms were warmly decorated and We had a clean, spacious bathroom with amenities. There were homemade cookies and coffee/tea outside our room 24/7. Save room for one of the most delicious breakfasts you will ever have and great conversation with Dutch and the other guests. So glad we found this place.

Room Tip: Call Becky to discuss your room needs. Each room is unique and has different delightful features.
