Granted this is budget accommodation, however would describe this as tired and shabby. Bathroom tile floor was in pieces , black mould around fittings, blackout on curtains holy, breakfast very poor, coffee only in lobby in pump pot, styrofoam cups, plates and plastic cutlery. Laundry not available, broken. No elevator. Highlight good parking and easy to find. Could be so much more.

I was able to stay in a room with 3 queen beds and it was very spacious. The room was clean. It could use some cosmetic work in the bathroom but overall I was impressed. They were very friendly, clean pool, limited breakfast, but close to everything.

Choose this hotel for price. Graduation weekend Texas State Uni. All hotels basically double normal rates. Hotel doesn’t have an elevator. Had second story room. Had heavy luggage and a dog. Common areas very worn. Room was clean. Struggled every time to close room door when leaving. Lock needed to be repaired. Saw staff on the floor and asked for help with door but they didn’t speak English. Room was on the front side of hotel and close to the freeway. Road noise was bad. Bathroom floor was tiled but had a lot of grout missing between tiles. Front desk employees were friendly enough. Parking was adequate. If ever back in San Marcos, TX would try to stay elsewhere.

Great stay in San Marcos
Great location. Pet-friendly a plus. Only two complaints: tub very slippery (accident waiting to happen!); and 2). Ice machine out of order.

The property manager and front desk employee were fantastic! So kind, helpful and genuinely interested in making our stay a good one. The room was very clean. Fresh beds and linens. The bathroom needs a serious overhaul. Rusty fixtures, holes in the walls- small, but there, just dingy. The towels though clean, were thin and rough. However, we needed a room for a night that was affordable. This was perfect for our needs. I would stay there again.
