It's a Hampton Inn @ about $400 per night. I made the reservation for the hotel over a month ago. Prices have gone up since then.

I'm really surprised that there were rooms left a month ago; from what I heard most hotels and other places to stay in Waco were booked up by last September.

There are still hotels in the Round Rock / Cedar Park area that are in the $200-300/night range for those dates. The normal rates for those places would be about half that.
The Hampton Inn in Georgetown, TX is listed at $522/night, which is insane.

I'm glad that you're staying until Tuesday. Where are you flying to? By then, the roads should be mostly back to normal, although the I-35 between Austin and Dallas is almost always a mess.
