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

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.

Perfect Getaway

The Ellis 2 was a perfect place for our stay this weekend. We were in town for our daughter's graduation, so the location was perfect and the beds were comfy! The only thing that would have made the stay better was some low level lighting for evening time as well has more than one roll of paper towels and 2 trash bags would have been very helpful.

This was a really cool building.

This was a great building for a single person/couple. The spiral stairs were a little shakey and there was no wall to the second/loft bedroom. I had loud neighbors one night (Friday) but it was pretty brief. Overall, great host, great building, and great stay.

Mom / Daughter Trip!

Perfect little spot near all the fun shops, eateries, and the backyard. The backyard grill has outdoor concerts so you have to be okay with that, which we are! And if you are going to a show there, even better!

Waco stop over

We stopped here to break up our road trip to Fredricksburg TX. The ease of booking, checking in was so easy. I’ve never booked one of these before and the owner made it so easy and comfortable. My aunt and uncle who traveled with us was awed. They also had never done this before. So the establishment was clean simple and met my needs for the evening. And within walking distance of the Magnolia Press and bakery where we got nourishment and started in our journey to Fredricksburg.

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.

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.
