The pics online are not of the actual property. This is a MOTEL not a hotel which the pics conveniently avoid showing. The motor lodge I’m guessing is from the 1970’s-1980’s. Room was disgustingly dirty, towels were so thin and old it was like trying to dry off after a shower with paper towels….TV was also 20+ years old and was not in functional working condition and the top 1/3 of the screen was purple with running digital lines through the screen. Cheap pricing but you’ll need your tetanus shot and disinfecting wipes to enjoy the stay.

Headboards were layers with dust & webs. Bathroom hadn’t been swept. The bathroom plug didn’t work and appeared to be either burned or caked with something brown. The ac was placed in a corner and a table in front of it so the air did not circulate through the room. The halls smelled damp and moldy. Make sure you request an INTERIOR room as most of the rooms are outside access only.

The room was clean, the overall property was nice. Parking was ample. However, I did not like that we were staying in a building separate from the main building. It made access to available amenities slightly more difficult as we would’ve had to walk around the building for the pool, or at the very least across the parking lot for breakfast. We opted to drive around to eat breakfast and probably would’ve done the same if we’d used the pool. If you find yourself staying in a 300 or 400 room, you may want to request a 100 or 200 if you have any mobility issues. Also, in the 300/400 building there is no elevator, only stairs so that building wouldn’t be ideal. We don’t have any real complaints, just want others to be aware when booking. Stay was nice, room was clean and mostly quiet despite being right off a highway, staff was great, breakfast was plentiful.

The complimentary breakfast was a little bit to be desired. The pancakes were a little floury, but I appreciated that the pancake machine was on-site for customers to use. The processed round eggs had no taste, and I would have preferred fresh scrambled eggs. I liked the easy access to I-35. I would stay again.

When I first drove up, I honestly questioned if it was abandoned. The photos made it look much more updated than it was. I didn't realize until I arrived most of the rooms are open to the outside, and I don't love that.

My room smelled stale like it had probably been smoked in and there was a frozen Bud Light left in the mini fridge. Guessing it had not been cleaned out rather than it just being the world's most pathetic mini bar.

I stayed in room 138, it was humid in the room the entire time I was there. The plug situation left a lot to the imagination, you had to leave certain light switches on in order for the refrigerator to work as well as the plug in the bathroom area. The mattresses were lumpy. I did feel safe and the front office staff was very courteous. Had I not been as tired as I was at the end of my day in San Marcos I might have switched hotels. I will say, after a day at the river, this might have been a fine accommodation for a group of friends, but for 2 older ladies, it left a lot to be desired.

Unfortunately, my experience at this property was very poor. Upon checking in, the room had a strong urine odor near the bed, which made it feel unsanitary and uninhabitable. Because of this, I did not stay the night and left to stay elsewhere.

When I returned the following morning to retrieve my belongings, the room also smelled strongly of marijuana, despite being booked as a non-smoking room.

Cleanliness is a basic expectation when staying at a hotel, and this room did not meet that standard. I would not recommend this property based on my experience.
